==Player Characters==
Each player has a character: it’s their interface with the setting. Their character is also one of the protagonists of the story as it unfolds. The player characters are the stars of the show.

Let’s look at the nuts and bolts of a character. This is just an overview. Each of these are explained in greater detail elsewhere in this book.

A character has:
* ''Aspects''. Important and dramatic details that can help the character, or cause interesting complications they must overcome.
* ''Skills''. What the character can do, and how good they are at doing it.
* ''Stunts and Resources''. Special talents, situations, or other factors that give the character special bonuses.
* ''Consequences''. Aspects that describe the lasting effects of things gone wrong.
* ''Fate points''. Points the player can spend to affect the course of play.
