▾ STATION BRIEFS ▾

Where a resident might begin.

Oh, you have been assigned a post, or you are thinking of one. Each of these is the orientation packet a resident might receive on arrival: who you will be, what you are likely to be good at, and a few phrases to borrow. They are starting points, not classes. Take one as written, change any part of it, or ignore them all and begin from nothing.

Using a Brief

Skills. Each Brief's skills are the standard spread: three skills at 2 and three at 1, which costs exactly the 15 Tenure you start with. Set them differently if you like; it is your 15.
Traits, Hindrances and the Gift are examples. You start with two open Traits beside your Station; each Brief offers three to choose from. Keep them, edit them, or replace them with your own. Your Station is a Trait too: the Brief's name is only a place to start.
The Commendation comes later, at Grade II. Each Brief suggests one to aim for.
In Foundry, Register With Gloss offers these Briefs when it asks for your role, and fills in your skills for you. Quick create takes a whole Brief at once (Station, two Traits, two Hindrances and skills, and its Gift if you're Touched). You can still change everything. See character creation for the rules underneath.

◆ NATIVE RULES, EXPERIMENTAL These Briefs are drafts for the Foundry system's rules. They may change.
