Character Creation Quick Reference

To design an In Nomine character, follow these steps.

  1. Think about whether you want to play:
    1. a celestial (very powerful);
    2. a Soldier or an Undead (supernatural humans);
    3. a mundane human; or
    4. a Remnant (the earthly body of a celestial).

Discuss your ideas with the GM.

  1. If your character is human, skip to 4. If he is a celestial, decide whether he is an angel or a demon. Then choose his Choir or Band, and his Archangel or Demon Prince. Check to see whether his ultimate Superior grants him any special Resources or attunements. If his immediate boss is not an Archangel or Demon Prince, note that superior’s Word.
  2. If your character is an Outcast or a Renegade, determine what type of Discord he has (randomly, or with the GM’s advice), and give him three levels of it.
  3. Allocate his Forces:
    1. Celestials: 9 Forces; at least 1 of each type of Force.
    2. Soldiers and Mummies: 6 Forces; at least 2 Corporeal and 1 each Ethereal and Celestial Forces.
    3. Remnants: 5 Forces, none of which may be Celestial.
    4. Humans: 5 Forces; at least 1 of each type of Force.

The total number of Forces also determines how much Essence your character can hold.

  1. Choose levels of characteristics, 4 levels per Force:
    1. Corporeal Forces control Strength and Agility
    2. Ethereal Forces control Intelligence and Precision
    3. Celestial Forces control Will and Perception
  2. Select Resources. You have (4 × your total number of Forces) character points to spend on up to 6 levels each of artifacts, Roles, servants, skills, Songs and vessels. You may take Discord if you like, to get extra points.
  3. Develop his background: think about his appearance, the kind of food and music he likes, the hobbies he’s picked up, how he gets along with others, etc.
  4. Show the character to the GM for approval.
  5. Play!
