Todays character is going to be an ‘Mage’ for Lowlife 2090. The mage casts spells to envoke supernatural effects and reshape reality.

Lets get on with creating the character.

Page 9 of the Lowlife 2090 rules book details the 15 steps to character creation.

Step 1. Roll 1 d6 for get a random race for your character. I roll a 1 this time so my Mage will be human.

Step 2. Roll 1 d10 for your class. Well as I know I am creating a Mage I can skip this.

Step 3. Roll attributes. One attribute must be 15 and I am rolling 4d6 and totaling the highest three for the remaining 6 attributes.
I get 13, 16, 14, 8, 14, 12
Some decent scores there, I distribute the rolls as follows (attribute modifiers in brackets).
Str: 8(-1), Dex: 13(+1), Con: 12(0), Int: 15(+2), Perc: 14(+1), Will: 16(+2), Cha: 14(+1)

Step 4. We calculate initiative (average of Dex and Int) so 13+15/2 round down = 14
We also calculate Defense (11+Dex mod) = 12

Step 5. Our Mage calculates their hit points as Con score + Level(1) = 13

Step 6. Their Luck is 11 and their re-roll pool is 2

Step 7. Roll for contacts. Our Mage starts with three contacts. I get the following (number in brackets is rating)
Paramedic (11) Catchphrase – Now is not a good time.
Lawyer (10) Catchphrase – You sure about this?
Courier(11) Catchphrase – Would I lie to you?

Step 8. Roll for augmentations. My Mage starts with no augmentations.

Step 9. Gain bonus languages. With an Int. of 15, our Mage knows two additional language. I give them French and Spanish

Step 10. Choose skills. Our Mage has 7 skills. They automatically gets Knowledge (Magic) plus 6 others. I choose
Acrobatics, Deception, Driving, Persuasion, Slight of Hand, Stealth.

Step 11. Choose class abilities. My Mage starts with Sense Magic. Magic Tell (eyes glow brightly when you cast a spell) . My Mage starts with 3 spells, I choose the following for them
Pernet’s Perfect Puffery, Glimpse the true god, Crush the Warp.

Step 12. Add gear pack. As a Mage they gets the following,
Light vest, Remington Covert Light Pistol (2 x mags regular ammo), Cell ( Hon Hai Echo Sys
10), Fake ID, Knife, and ₵50.

Step 13. Add turning point, living standard and address. I get
Born Lifer: You were born into this life, the offspring of lowlife parents who taught you the tools of the
trade

Living Standard – Low.
Address – Northgate.

Step 14. Create a background. My Mage is a Occult Investigator.

Step 15. My Mage goes by the name ‘Potluck’.
