Character Creation
Gender:

[ ] Male

[ ] Female


Background: This will determine your character's base stats, by default the sum of 3d6 for each category. You will reroll the lowest for a particular stat for each + you have in it, and reroll the highest for each -. Traits picked in the next step will increase or lower these scores by a set amount. Your background will also affect some of the options available to you at the beginning of the quest, as it determines what sort of person you were prior to taking the throne.

[ ] Troll Hunter: You spent much of your life hunting and slaying trolls, manticores, feral diamond dogs, and Griffon outlaws lurking in the forests and caves of Griffonia. A dangerous and messy job, but a necessary one. +Intrigue, +Martial, -Learning

[ ] Merchant: Even in the dark days of Discord's reign, goods and gold were still exchanged, and profits (however small) were made. +Stewardship, +Diplomacy, -Martial

[ ] Knight Lion: Before Discord, over a dozen knightly orders existed for the protection of the common people and service to the nation. Now only one remains: The Knights Lion. Though a shadow of its former self, the members of this militant order, clad in heavy armor and bearing swords and lances, still uphold the chivalrous ideals of their glorious predecessors. +Martial, +Diplomacy, -Intrigue

[ ] Scholar: To be a scholar in the age of Discord meant combing through rubble for lost tomes and relics of the past as much as it meant reading and writing, skills in short supply both then and now. +Learning, +Stewardship, -Martial



Stats are also influenced by traits. The three with the highest vote number will be chosen. Bear in mind that some traits are genetic, and can be passed on to offspring, while others will not be.

[ ] Genius: Smart doesn't even begin to describe you. +2 all skills, counts as two traits.

[ ] Gregarious: You always know exactly what to say to get people to like you. +2 Diplomacy

[ ] Crafty: You have a knack for navigating the byzantine realm of court politics. +2 Intrigue

[ ] Eidetic Memory: You have a mind like a steel trap, never forgetting anything you seek to memorize. +2 Learning

[ ] Honest: You cannot tell a lie to save your life. +4 Diplomacy, -2 Intrigue.

[ ] Attractive: You are beautiful/handsome. +2 Diplomacy, better spousal relationship

[ ] Greedy: You love gold, more than is healthy. +4 Stewardship, -2 Diplomacy

[ ] Strong: You are blessed with a powerful physique. +4 Martial, +10% Fertility

[ ] Tall: You stand a head above most, giving you an edge in combat and a little bit of extra respect from everyone that has to lean backwards to look you in the eye. +2 martial, bonus to intimidation attempts against most races.

Changed one to attractive since diplomacy will be pretty big for uniting the petty kingdoms.

Martial heavy with some bonuses in diplomacy. If we're going to be the King of Griffins, let's be a warrior king.

MLP already have more than enough female characters, i want male for a change.
-[X] Scholar: To be a scholar in the age of Discord meant combing through rubble for lost tomes and relics of the past as much as it meant reading and writing, skills in short supply both then and now. +Learning, +Stewardship, -Martial
We have a lot of time to reach guns, rockets and than to the stars.
-[X] Genius: Smart doesn't even begin to describe you. +2 all skills, counts as two traits.
To good not to take
-[X] Strong: You are blessed with a powerful physique. +4 Martial, +10% Fertility
2+4+3=9 Even if our martial roll will crit fail we would still have 9 martial, not too bad

My thoughts, go for intelligence above all. We can always hire (or marry) a warrior paragon to hit monsters/things/ponies for us
 
Leading plans are between 'merchant', and 'conqueror'. One hits down the intrigue stat for a intended primary fighter intended to warmonger (risky on intrigue ploys in hard mode), while the other gives us genius trait.
 
I feel like it would be fun to be a great merchant and diplomat then warlord since it would be interesting to unite the kingdoms via money and diplomacy rather then conquest.

I'll go with this, though I'm still tempted to try and make a griffin version of star swirl as in a genius that is so far ahead in his field that his work paves the way for all future innovation. Just with tech instead of magic.

Better to be smart in the long run for things like magic if we become smart enough we can extend our life or make some ground breaking invention or clock work minions

Its much easier to reproduce as a male where if you are a woman you only can have one at a time while being vulnerable at the same time and the setting is already so female dominant
