Characters

Named figures of the Sphere, filed by where they are. Characters marked playable are in the shared pool and can be picked up at the table.

The pool

Playable characters are shared, not owned โ€” pick one, play it, hand it back, and whoever picks it up next inherits the wounds, the debts, and the burned bridges. See premise.

Every playable page carries a state block: condition, wounds, XP banked, location, and whether the character is Locked: to an unfinished job. A locked character is out of the pool until that scenario resolves.

Where they are

Characters are filed by where they can be found. A crew looking for someone starts here.

๐ŸŽฒ marks a playable character โ€” one of the shared pool, and yours to pick up. Everyone else is an NPC.
