Optional-Regional Variation

Much like the listings for country, the region within that country may have effects on the character.  

Advantage Pool

If the game system you chose includes rules for feats, boons, talents, or advantages, this is a list to help inform your choices. These individual listings may be called different things in different games, but interpret them as you will. A talent such as cunning, or born-to-the-sea, may be defined (or not addressed at all) in different ways in different games.

Disadvantage Pool

If the game system you chose includes rules for disadvantages, flaws, or quirks, this is a list to help inform your choices. These individual listings may be called different things in different games, but translate them as you will.

Skill Pool

If the game system you chose includes rules for skills, here is a list to guide your choices. If the system doesn’t count individual skills, but simply character class or profession, the skills listed here still can be a guideline for what the character is likely to know or has been exposed to.

Martial Pool

Much like the skill pool, each region's martial arts and available weapons may serve as a guide for how to outfit your character and choose his martial specialties (if any). Different games are laid out in different ways, but this listing may help you decide how your character begins.
