Characters have a race, a class, primary attributes, and derived attributes.
The primary statistics are what you roll for, it's 3d10 for each of the primary stat categories, namely the red green and blue ones. Each color has three attributes assigned to it, for example: red has strength, dexterity, and stamina. Say you roll a total of 24, you can assign those 24 points however you want to each attribute.
Secondary attributes, called orange stats, are determined by an equation given in the character creation thread.
You can have up to 3 advantages at the start, taken from the list in character creation, but for each advantage you must take a disadvantage.
The race and class you pick, and you automatically get the bonuses and weaknesses assigned to your chosen race and class. Also of note, classes have there own bonus, and a bonus from what color the class is assigned to (IE red, green, or blue) and your character gets both.
