Application Questionaire

I’ve come up with three questions to get people in the mood and the demands of Fate core. Remember, the goal of this game isn’t to collect money or fight random monsters- we’re here to tell a story with interesting characters overcoming cool challenges. So, let’s get to it-

1. Owel is home to both very friendly and highly dangerous creatures. The Fate system allows an expansive number of skills one can used to deal with situations. In general, how will your character prefer to solve problems?
 * Negotiation is always preferable- brute force never solves anything
 * I prefer to manipulate the situation to my favor- nobody likes a fair fight
 * Knowledge is power- without that, there is no path to success
 * Some problems can only be solved by defending your beliefs- with violence if necessary
 * A direct fight is the best way to solve one’s problems- not to mention it’s the most fun

2. Pick one or two places around Owel (http://purplekecleon.deviantart.com/art/Owel-Geography-441905405, topside only) that have not been visited in the Seeds comic. Why do you think this place(s) would be interesting to explore? Feel free to both use the light description referenced in the published map, any canon information, or (most preferably) any new ideas that strike you as interesting.

3. The most essential aspect of the Fate is a system called Aspects. You create Aspects pretty much everything you want to interact with- setting, NPCs, even the players themselves- and when an aspect is

Creating interesting aspects is central to making a fun character. Based on one of the following paragraphs, choose an aspect that you feel would be fun to commonly brought up throughout the game. This is one of many phrases that defines a character, and ideally can be said when verbatim when describing one of your actions.

''On a lark, Vicente the Palmed Lamini buys the deed to a bar at the tourist destination of Polaris, but the location ends up being a dud! Alone in a new city with few customers, he has no choice but to shut down the establishment- until a delivery girl, Nymlus, walks in! With her water affinity, she’s able to make better tasting drinks for Vic- and it doesn’t hurt to have a new mascot working at Nymlus and Vic’s Vices and Tonics.''

''Vicente the Palmed Lamini joins the Bartending Blitz, a competition where he’ll be showing off his stuff. But when he is banned from using his partner Nymlus’ magically flavored liquors, he’s forced to get creative with his temperature controlling Fire Affinity. The popularity of the new Hailfire drink turns his fortunes around, but push his strength to the limit, and Vic ends up disqualified- though the event gathered plenty of advertising for the bar back home.''
