Between a lot of real world stuff…finally took the time (and enjoyment) to create my Frankenstein’s Monster mythos character. As this is the very first City of Mist character I’ve ever created, I’m sure I probably missed something.

One thing to note about character creation is that you choose four out of 14 themebooks to build your character.  In this case I used the Bastion, Expression, Defining Event, and Defining Relationship themebooks.  Before each of the Power Tags and Weakness Tags you will notice a letter.  That letter directly corresponds to a lettered question on the themebook so that I can go back to that themebook and see exactly what question that tag answers if need be.

Example: The “H.” question on the Expression themebook is, “What trick shots or special maneuvers can you do with your Expression powers?”  To which my answer was, “Make an Exit.”  So this tag can be helpful to me when I need a quick getaway.
