Character Creation

Ask your ST for a character sheet! 
==Stuff To Think About==
In my experience, it's easiest to start with a single idea for a character and then sorta fill in the rest as the ideas come (which may not happen until actual gameplay happens!) For some, the starting idea may be "What was this character's time in Arcadia like? How were they used? How did they feel about it?" For others, it may be easier to start with a neat kith and how they feel about the real world now, and then work out their Arcadia backstory later. (And believe me, out of 40 NPCs, there are several that I don't know their backstories yet. We'll discover them together!)
A big thing to think about for this game is: Why are they in Texas? 
If they're Hedge-fresh, maybe they just stumbled out here. Or it's possible that James Arlet brought them back by sacrificing their fetch. If they've been out of Arcadia for awhile, it's possible they moved here because they were on the run, or because they heard about the cheap cost of living at the Freeholds. (The DFW Freehold actually is pretty unusually generous with the goodies.)
==A Note On Ages==
Arcadia is a place that operates with different time than here on earth. (For that matter, there are contracts that let Changelings speed up and slow down time while in the Hedge.) Some people are taken to serve in Arcadia for 10 years, only to find out that 100 years have passed. Or only 1 year. Or precisely 10 down to the day. Additionally, an affinity with the wyrd can slow (or even reverse!) aging. This makes determining a Changeling's age very difficult, especially since not all Changelings choose to talk about their durance. 
So, a note on "apparent ages" for characters: They're exactly what they say on the tin, an apparent age from looking at their face, body, etc. But don't take those numbers as truth, nor should you believe that this character claimed this age for their own. In this game, there is an ST ruling that if a character "appears X" they are at least that age, yes, but they may be much older. 
And some of them are.
