Items

Create human Kami like any other human, then give them Gaia’s blessing.

1) Prioritize three categories of Attributes: Physical, Social and Mental. Put six dots into the primary category, four in the second and three in the tertiary. Note that each Attribute starts with one dot.

2) Prioritize three categories of Abilities: Talents, Skills, and Knowledges. Assign eleven dots in the primary category, seven in the secondary, and three in the tertiary.

3) Most human Kami start with Willpower 3, Gnosis 1, but no Rage. Purchasing the power Spirit Ties can increase Gnosis to 6 in human Kami. The Berserker power gives Kami five points of Rage.

4) Choose one to three Kami powers. Keep the Kami’s purpose, and how they perform the role Gaia gave them, in mind. A survivalist who protects elephants from ivory poachers might have Chameleon Coloration and Darksight to better hunt the hunters. The peaceful swami dedicated to leading the soul-sick away from materialism might have Aura of Tranquility and Heart Sense. The urban farmer fighting to keep development from swallowing her garden might do so with Plant Animation and Curse of Gaia.

5) Human Kami have five dots to spend in Backgrounds. They can take up to three points in the following Back­ grounds: Allies, Contacts and Resources. Given the drive to fulfill their purpose, they must have at least one point of the Fate Background, but up to five isn’t unreasonable.

6) Human Kami are the only Kami who receive freebie points. They have 21 freebie points to spend. Each new Kami power costs 7 freebies. Only human Kami receive freebie points.
