Welcome to the campaign.

Below, you will find the character sheet template. How you design the sheet is up to you, but all information listed in the template should be included within your sheet.

Above, you will find the 0th Post, containing resources necessary to understand Cypher System in its fullest capacity, but in the Player Compendium, I've given you all the information needed to learn how to play now. You will need Obsidian, also included above, in order to access the Player Compendium in its intended format. This compendium also contains tips and tricks on how to use Obsidian, in case you've never used it before. It's imperative that you fully read and comprehend everything in the Player Compendium, as Character Creation will be made easier as a result.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask; I will answer to the best of my ability.

Character Sheet Template


Name: The name of your character.
Age: The age your character was when the world basically ended.
Personality: How your character acts in society.
Background/History: Who your character was before the world ended.

Subtype: Your character's subtype, located in the Player Compendium. There are six subtypes in total: Fighter, Gunslinger, Rogue, Expert, Diplomat, and Mastermind. You may only choose one.

Descriptor: Your character's Descriptor. You can find a list of Descriptors when using the CSRD, located in the Campaign Resources above. Please note the section "3B. Descriptors" in the Player Compendium.

Focus: Your character's Focus. You can find a list of Foci when using the CSRD, located in the Campaign Resources above. Please note the section "3C. Foci" in the Player Compendium, as many Foci have been removed from the campaign.

The last two pages in the Player Compendium contain information necessary for your character. Include these in your character sheet.

Once your character sheets have been submitted, if they're approved, you may post them in the Characters tab.




In-Character Post Formatting


For the most part, unless you intend to perform certain actions, you'll post as normal, including the following elements in your formatting:
  • Name
  • Stat Pools (Might, Speed, Intellect), including how many points you currently have (formatted as [Current]/[Max])
  • Edge(s)
  • Effort Level


However, if you intend to perform any actions that may require a dice roll, use Skills or Abilities that you have, etc., include all of what you intend to do in an OOC hider. If you have any Assets, Skills, or Effort that you want to use in order to ease the difficulty of a Task, mention them within this hider. Acceptance of these elements is left up to GM discretion. If rolling to accomplish a Task, include your roll result within the hider and hyperlink back to the dice roll you made.

Please keep in mind that most Tasks will have hidden difficulties unless stated otherwise.

Additionally, I'm working on an achievement list for things you, as the players, might accomplish in the campaign.

A select few that are optional achievements:

Living Spark: Defeat the progeny of power.
Attunement: After becoming haunted, find a way to cleanse yourself.
The Abyss Stares Back: Finish all bounty contracts.
Emergent Evolution: Don't turn it off.

Excellent, thank you. Just to make sure, did you set up your Stat Pools?

I have. It's on a sheet I've been chipping away at over on Old Gus'. You can expect that to be done before the weekend is out.

Great. All we need now is Byte's character profile, and we'll be good to go.

Again, if you have any questions about anythingβ€”be it about the system, the lore, etc.β€”let me know.

I do have one question. The Player Compendium says to take three abilities, but the character creator on Old Gus' says to choose four. Which number should I go with?

Old Gus' likely uses the most recent edition of Cypher System, whereas I wrote Seeds of Eden using Cypher System Revised Edition. I would say to follow the Player Compendium.

@Ohm Blegh, life has been hectic so I haven't got a character yet. Any complaints about waiting on me for another week? Got some more free time then to catch up on things. Extremely sorry for the delays! Just some personal stuff that has wrenched itself into my typical schedule that leaves me with little energy to work on writing stuff.

@Byte I am in no rush. I'm ready to tell this story whenever you're ready with your character. The fact you're still interested enough to want to submit a character sheet is enough, right now, for me.

I can't wait for the Elysium arc. Thinking about all the stuff I have planned for this story makes me excited.

Would you be willing to share any hints on what this Elysium arc might entail?

Also, the fact that you have named your story arcs has reminded me of this video.

There is more than one world.

That video is funny. I should say, thoughβ€”a lot of the stuff you'll encounter in the story takes the form of side content. If you go specifically for the mainline story and ignore everything else, you'll never see Elysium.

Go side questing so you can run your favorite story arc. Understood.

Also, this mention of side content has reminded me of yet another video.

Oh, Elysium isn't my favorite story arc. It's just one I'm excited for. I can't say anything about my favorite. What I can do, however, is give you a few songs that will be used to accompany some of my favorite parts of the entire story. Listen at your own discretion; some of them are a bit harsh.

FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING FOR THE LAST SONG.

GCOM β€” XO 4 (Wolf 1061c) (DnB)
Bodine Wirihana β€” Fides In Futuro (Metal)
sunnk β€” the colour of dust (Glitch)
Stephen Taranto β€” Pixel Heart: Celestial (Metal)
LudoWic - PLATE XIV (PATRONAAT) (Glitch/Electronic)

Here's an idea for another achievement then...

Mixtape at the End of the World: Give the GM a chance to use all of the songs that accompany their favorite parts of the story.
