Fantasy Five Banners Burning Characters

[Protege]

This is the Character thread and will assist with character creation, if you don't have the material.
It is recommended to read the Lore first.

We start at level 1.

We will start in Polaris, in Lightning Valley, where your team will be sent as diplomatic envoy to investigate a kidnapping that could have serious consequences for a political marriage.
Character creation Steps:

1) Pick a Class, Pick one of the subclass, note class features and foundation feature from subclass
2) Choose Heritage: Ancestry + Community
3) Assign to your traits: -1, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2
4) Record Evasion and you start with 2 Hope
5) Pick which weapons you start with, pick one armor, record the threshold and other info. Each class has a starting inventory, write it down too.
6) Create your background, pick a name and pronouns
7) Create your Experiences: You start with 2 Experiences which are short phrases or set of narrative words that describe your character. They both get a +2 Modifier. Experience Example: Pirate Raider
8) Choose Domain deck cards. You can pick 2 level 1 total cards from the domains associated with your class.
9) Create Connections, your class will have questions in the connection you can use to establish how you know other characters at the beginning of the game,

  Background:
  
  A terrible creature hurt your community, and you’ve vowed to hunt them down. What are they, and what unique trail or sign do they leave behind?
  - Giant Dire Wolf had been threatening his village for a long time leaving dead corpses with their bones licked clean. This was his first solo hunt he took it upon himself to kill it, leaving the village without telling the others his intentions.
  
  Your first kill almost killed you, too. What was it, and what part of you was never the same after that event?
  - The Giant Dire Wolf mentioned above. When the deed was done he lay wounded for a few days and when he finally had enough strength to return to his village he found it destroyed presumably by raiders and no one alive. He has been a wanderer of the many lands since then.
  
  You’ve traveled many dangerous lands, but what is the one place you refuse to go?
  - Home - too many memories of once was and what can no longer be.
