Character creation is a branching sequence of life stages. Each stage offers choices, and each choice adds a passage to the character's story. Earlier choices can be revisited until the character is finalized. The final step is a review of everything the choices granted, followed by naming the character.
Grants
A choice can grant skill experience, ability ranks, and the location where the character starts.
Permanence
The path taken, its grants, and the assembled story are fixed at creation. The story can be read from the character menu. Changes to a world's backstory tree do not affect existing characters.
