Players are allotted five (5) starting skills. Players may earn up to five (5) more skills per character based on the age of the character.  After one (1) month after application, players are permitted to choose an additional skill for their character, up to five (5) in total.  Players should contact a mentor to request the skill be added to their character sheet. All characters, regardless of race, will pick skills from this list. Skills are things that your character is exceptional at.  Skills that the average person can do moderately well (like cooking) are still able to be roleplayed by all characters (simply not on an expert level).  All players will be required to pick a minimum of two (2) flaws for each character.  Players may pick more flaws at their discretion.  Flaws added after character creation are not required to be reported to mentors.
