\section{Character Creation}
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.46\textwidth}
\subsection{Origin}
Your origin describes your character's background.

\subsubsection{Brotherhood Initiate}
You gain one additional Tag skill, which must be one of Energy Weapons, Science, or Repair.
\vspace*{5pt}

You are bound by the chain of command: The Chain that Binds. You must carry out the orders of your immediate superiors, and you are responsible for your subordinate siblings. If you do not carry out your duty, you are expelled from the Brotherhood and your technology will be reclaimed.

\subsubsection{Ghoul}
You are immune to radiation damage. In fact, you're healed by it -- you regain 1 HP for every 3 points of radiation damage inflicted upon you, and if you rest in an irradiated location, you may re-roll your dice pool when checking if your injuries heal. In addition, Survival becomes a Tag skill, increasing it by 2 ranks.
\vspace*{5pt}

You age at a much-decreased rate, and you're probably older than your unmutated companions -- but you're sterile. You may face discrimination from "smoothskins" (humans who aren't ghouls), increasing the difficulty or complication range of Charisma tests depending on your opponent's beliefs.

\subsubsection{Super Mutant}
Your initial Strength and Endurance attributes are increased by +2 each, and your maximum Strength and Endurance are increased to 12, but your maximum Intelligence and Charisma are both reduced to 6. You may not have more than 4 ranks in any skill. You are completely immune to radiation and poison damage.
\vspace*{5pt}

You stand over seven feet tall, and your body is bulky and muscular. Your skin is green, yellow, or grey, regardless of what color it was when you were human. You do not seem to age, but you are sterile. You can only wear armor which has been made to fit a super mutant.

\end{minipage} \hfil \hspace{30pt}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.46\textwidth}
\subsubsection{Survivor}
You may choose two traits from the "Survivor Traits" table, or one trait and one additional perk. Each trait has a benefit and may have an accompanying penalty.

\subsubsection{Synth}
You gain one additional tag skill. You cannot suffer from starvation or dehydration and do not need sleep, but you do not gain a benefit from consuming food or beverage items. When you rest, instead of sleeping, you may engage in minor activities such as crafting, reading, or light scouting. You are immune to Poison and Radiation damage and disease. You do not age, nor do you gain or lose weight.
\vspace*{5pt}

When interacting with NPCs who know you are a synth -- unless they are sympathetic towards synths -- the difficulty of \textbf{CHA} tests made by you or your allies increases by 2. When a complication is rolled, they either become hostile, or your Faction Reputation or Settlement Reputation decreases by 1 per complication generated due to their fear of the Institute.
\vspace*{5pt}

The Institute has given you a unique recall code -- an unalterable verbal command that resets your personality and memories. When you hear the code spoken, you become incapacitated until you are retrieved and restored by the Institute.

\subsubsection{Vault Dweller}
Your healthier start to life at the hands of trained doctors and sophisticated auto-docs means you reduce the difficulty of all END tests to resist the effects of disease. In addition, your carefully-planned upbringing means you have one additional tag skill of your choice.
\vspace*{5pt}

Once per quest, the GM may introduce a complication which reflects the nature of the experiment you unwittingly took part in, or introduce a complication related to your early life of isolation and confinement within the Vault. If the GM does this, you immediately regain one Luck Point.

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.46\textwidth}
\subsubsection{Mister Handy}
You have 360° vision and improved sensory systems that can detect smells, chemicals, and radiation, reducing the difficulty of Perception tests that rely on sight and smell by 1. You are also immune to radiation and poison damage, but you cannot use chems, nor can you benefit from food, drink, or rest. You move by jet propulsion, hovering above the ground, unaffected by difficult terrain or obstacles. Your carry weight is 150 lbs., and it cannot be increased by your Strength or perks, but it can be increased by modified armor. You cannot recover from your own injuries or heal health points without receiving repairs.
\vspace*{5pt}

You cannot manipulate the physical world like humans do, instead you have three of the arm attachments in the Arm Attachments table, determined by your choice of equipment pack. If you select an arm that features a weapon, you also gain 20 shots of ammo for that weapon.

    Mother Wasteland & Spend 1 Luck point to gain insight into the quest, situation, or scene as if you'd spent 3 AP to use Obtain Information 3 times.

    Nomad & Re-roll 1d20 on Survival tests to travel, set up camp, and forage for food and water. In addition, ignore the first complication rolled when making these tests. & Barter and Speech tests increase their difficulty and complication range by 1 when dealing with inhabitants of a static settlement.

    Rite of Passage & The first time you spend Luck in a scene, roll 1\dice{}. If you roll an effect you have not spent that Luck point. & You view everyone who hasn't gone through your rite of passage as lesser. You cannot assist another PC without spending 1 AP first. \\ \hline
    Tools of the Old World & You may use Survival instead of Repair or Science to repair or make use of pre-War tech. & The complication range of tests involving pre-War technology (not weapons) is increased by 2. \\ \hline
