Name Character To give your character a name, click on Name in the upper left and type a name in the box. Press Enter when done to confirm the name. Giving your character a name makes it much easier to find and recognize after you save it.

Select Archetype Archetype defaults to Freeform. If you would like to change it to one of the archetypes found in the game, click on the archetype icon in the upper right and make your selection. After selecting an archetype, the appropriate Super Stats, Innate Talent, and Powers will be automatically set. The powers you can change are lighter in color. If you switch back to Freeform the selections will remain, but you can now change them. Note: Changing your Archetype will overwrite most of your selections, so make sure to save copy of any work you would like to keep.

Select Abilities Click on the Super Stat, Innate Talent, or Talent you want to set or modify on the left side of the page. A pop-up window will appear with your options. Make your selection. The Travel Powers are found on the lower left side of the page. The regular Powers are found on the right right side of the page. Click on the power you want to set or modify. A pop-up window will appear with your options. Make your selection. Once you have selected a Power you can click the (advantages) link to the right of it to set the advantages for that power. Advantages can be toggled on and off from the pop-up window. Selections that are darker in color have already been taken, however, clicking on them will swap them with the currently selected field. Selections that are invalid choices, due to the game rules, are gray in color and you cannot select them. Specializations are found at bottom of the page. The first one is automatically set based on your Primary Super Stat. The next two are chosen by you when you click on them. Just like the other abilities, use the pop-up window to set your options. The options for the Mastery Specialization will be populated when the other trees have be set. Just click on the one you want from the pop-up window. On the pop-up windows, clicking Clear will deselect that item. Cancel or clicking outside of the box will cancel the selection. Insert will insert a power at that location (moving all powers below it down a level), and Delete will remove the selected power (moving all powers below it up a level). The number to the left of an attribute is the level needed to take it.
