Character Creation Clarified

Ok, so I started to try to drum up some interest by trying to get a PbP gamestest going yesterday. This may take a while. So in the interest of smoothing out some rough spots I will outline the process of character creation to everyone.

Step 1 - Get a character sheet or piece of paper, and a pencil (there will be some erasing)
Step 2 - Open up the Character Life Path link ---->
Step 3 - Decide which direction to build you character from. Do you want to build from birth to adult or decide on a job to start with and work backward from there? Both ways are explained in the document.
Step 4 - Start following the paths to get the numerical set up for your character.
Step 5 - Spend you bonus points - either on Bonus Traits or on increasing your attributes or skills. You can set aside a maximum of 10 bonus points to buy some power skills if you know you are making a super hero.
Step 6 - Breathe some life into them... add some details and write a story that follows their path. Here is also where you will write down the "Motivations" of the character which will come into play in the rewards section.
Step 7 - have the GM approve or disapprove the final character and then maybe Super powers can come into play.

Hopefully this is help out some of the folks looking into this system. I need to get back to work on building it more. Right now I have a framed house with some walls, no sheet rock or insulation yet, but the stick frame and roof are up.
