The following chapter lists the different aspects that you can take when first creating your character. Aspects are abilities that a character begins play with, no matter their Proficiency Score. These abilities are often either genetically inherited or culturally learned features of the character. The majority of these can be flavored either way. For example, Sticky Feet might be because your character has literal sticky hands and feet or because they grew up climbing as much as walking due to their childhood society.
