Creating A Gatalian
This is a resource to help you create characters native to Gatalia. It is not mandatory to follow this guide.
Picking A Region
You can use a character from any region you like. What region your character comes from might influence other parts of them, like their species, religions, names, and cultures they grew up with.
The following are character creation guides for regions which are developed:
You can create characters for other regions, but you will have to make a lot of things as you go.
Species
An in-depth overview can be found in Gatalian Humans.
A character's species has little to do with their culture, religions and upbringing. Instead, certain species are most common in particular areas, which may also correlate to their culture or religions they worship.
Species that do not come from an area can still be found elsewhere. This is especially the case due to recent innovations in sailing. Due to genetic differences, individuals who move to far away lands may have difficulty finding partners that will produce fertile offspring.
Traits and Ailments
Below is a table you can use to add unique traits to your characters. You can roll any number of times you like, choose a trait manually, or choose not to have any at all. The table is a resource and not mandatory.
| 2d20 | Trait | 2d20 | Trait |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | You have ocular or oculocutaneous albinism. | 22 | Your sensitive skin gives you acne, well into adulthood. |
| 3 | Your body is especially frail (osteoporosis). | 23 | You have partial or full colorblindness. |
| 4 | You have a hunchback (kyphosis). | 24 | Your metabolic rate is faster or slower than normal for your species. |
| 5 | Part of, or most of your body, grows much more hair much faster than normal (hypertrichosis). | 25 | You have asthma. |
| 6 | Your underbite or overbite is greater than normal for your species. | 26 | You have crooked or buck teeth. |
| 7 | You have a lazy eye. | 27 | Your gait is weird. |
| 8 | You are a survivor of amputation, whether of a limb or a digit. | 28 | One of your senses is hyper-sensitive. You notice things other people might not, but you are overloaded easily. |
| 9 | You have a horrific scar somewhere on your body. | 29 | You have an anaphylactic allergy (ideas for allergens include: food or nuts, animal stings or bites, a herb or medicinal chemical, or contact with a fabric or substance). |
| 10 | You have difficulty empathizing with other people. Your experiences are the only ones that make sense to you. | 30 | Most things affect you more than they do most people. You are an emotional person. |
| 11 | You are an especially impulsive person, and prone to addiction. | 31 | There are portwine stains (or some other pigmentation) marking your skin. |
| 12 | You are deaf (your choice of acutely, mildly or severely). | 32 | You were born with a facial disfigurement, which you are known for. |
| 13 | You are bald or balding. | 33 | The supernatural is normal to you. You have hallucinations, psychosis of some kind, or you are simply extremely spiritual. |
| 14 | You are blind (your choice of acutely, mildly, or severely short-sighted, far-sighted, or totally blind). | 34 | Bleeding can be especially fatal for you, as you tend to just keep bleeding (hemophilia). |
| 15 | You have allergic rhinitis (ideas for allergens include: pollen, dandruff of certain animals, mold, perfumes, dust such as dirt or refined flour or sugar, or microscopic parasites). | 35 | Eating too much bread makes you intoxicated (auto-brewery syndrome). |
| 16 | You are able to contort your body in ways that are abnormal, or you have one or more double-joints (hypermobility). | 36 | Your muscles do not develop at the rate that they should. The low gravity of Gatalia affects you like it would an ordinary human. |
| 17 | You have arthritis. | 37 | You have vitiligo. |
| 18 | You sweat. A lot. | 38 | Your eyes do not match (heterochromia). |
| 19 | You have a crippling phobia. | 39 | You have an extra finger or toe. |
| 20 | You were maimed in a criminal trial. | 40 | Your internal organs are completely mirrored (situs inversus). |
