Section 23 Character Creation

Creating a character for Section 23 is similar to the method detailed in Savage Worlds Deluxe.
== Step 1: Race and Nationality ==
Every Section 23 operative is human. All characters receive a free Edge during character creation.
You may choose your character's nationality from any of the Allied Nations.
== Step 2: Role ==
=== Military Service ===
Most Section 23 operatives are drawn from the Allied military. Decide whether your character is in the Army, Navy, Air Corps, or Marines, or if they are a civilian. See Military Service for details.
=== Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) or Civilian Occupation ===
Decide what job your character performs within their service branch, or what their civilian career is. See MOS and Occupations for details.
== Step 3: Traits ==
=== Attributes ===
Define your character's attributes in the way described in Savage Worlds Deluxe. Keep in mind that some military specialties require minimum starting attribute levels.
=== Skills ===
Starting characters get 15 points for skills as usual for Savage Worlds, but their Military Service, MOS or Occupation may grant them additional skills. See the Skills page for new skills and new uses for old skills.
=== Sanity ===
Those who face the terrors of the Secret War are often pushed over the edge. Sanity is a derived trait that lets you monitor your character's mental health and wellbeing.
== Step 4: Edges and Hindrances ==
Edges and Hindrances are selected as usual in Savage Worlds. Some Edges go particularly well with a given MOS; these are listed as Useful Edges, but you are not required to take them. Section 23 adds several new Edges and Hindrances.
== Step 5: Rank (Military Characters Only) ==
All military personnel have a rank (or rating). If you do not have the Rank Edge, your starting rank cannot be higher than Corporal. See the Military Ranks page for the relevant ranks for each service.
== Step 6: Gear ==
Typically, gear will be assigned to operatives of Section 23 based on their mission. Unless otherwise specified, your character is issued equipment appropriate to their service branch and MOS.
