Whether you are making your first steps in this roleplaying game with elements of action or you are an experienced player who wants to share their concept of a character with fellow players, it is important to outline the character before they make their first steps in the game - you will be able to define them as an independent individual, specify their place in the story, and see what arcs are preferable. Besides, the new character will be expected to communicate with other, already established characters so ensuring they fit in the story will guarantee the challenges and obstacles are overcome with ease.

How to Make a Fate Character Sheet for an RPG?

Here is how you should fill out Fate RPG Character Sheets:

1. Begin with the main details about your character - state their name, provide the description of their main traits and background, and enter the number of points they are starting the game with. You are free to come up with any ideas you want - use your own imagination for the character or take inspiration from a movie or book you like.
2. Work on the aspects - permanent qualities that define the character. Write down one sentence to summarize the character and explain what struggles and issues they have to deal with personally and when communicating with other characters or organizations. Make sure the difficulties you have chosen are not easily resolved to create a complex and multifaceted character. Come up with additional aspects that shed light on the character's personality, profession, significant possessions, key relationships in their life, duties they have to carry out, and the goals they try to reach.
3. List the skills - the abilities the character has obtained through training and experience. This section of the Fate Character Creator will determine what the character will do in the game when it comes to challenges and chances. The skills are rated on a scale from 1 to 5 so select the strong points carefully - the character may excel in athletics, crafts, combat, and demonstrate other capacities that keep them alive and help them succeed.
4. Decide what extra perks the character will have access to - while this is a broad concept, it usually refers to supernatural abilities, equipment other characters do not have, and the ability to influence people and institutions. Elaborate on the stunts - the techniques and tactics the character may use in particularly tricky situations.
5. Explain how the character handles or avoids physical and mental distress based on the unique traits you have listed before. Figure out how they will cope with various consequences throughout the game whether the feelings they experience are temporary, long-lasting, or permanent.
