Module: Create your own Origin
It’s possible that you have an idea for your Mythmaker that doesn’t quite fit the Origins in this book. Maybe you want to play an Analyst who lives on a boat and is therefore skilled at sailing. Or maybe you want to play a Mythmaker who comes from a different time period than the 8th or 21st century. It’s important that you are allowed to be who you want to be. That’s why there are a few options below to help you with this.
When an Origin package fits your Mythmaker well but not perfectly, you can also adjust existing packages. The Talents and equipment for each Origin are only suggestions; you may modify parts of them. This is no more complicated than swapping a Talent or piece of equipment for another.
If none of the Origin packages come close to your vision for your Mythmaker, you can also create a fully custom Origin. Choose three Talents from the lists of Talents and select your own equipment.
You may choose a name for your Origin and write it on your character sheet.
Step 1. Talents
Every origin has their own Talents. If you're making your own, pick 3 Talents from the Talent lists found below or in the rulebook.
Step 2. Equipment
Your equipment can help you during the adventure. For example, the Guide may give you an extra die if you use a rope to climb a rock.
Every Mythmaker carries a MythWatch kit. It contains basic supplies that are unlikely to betray a Mythmaker's time-traveling nature. This kit consists of:
| Simple clothing | Cooking utensils |
| A simple weapon | A sleeping mat |
| A torch or other light source | A fire starter |
| Rope | A water bottle |
In addition to your MythWatch kit, you may choose 3 extra items. Discuss with your Guide what your character would realistically be carrying. Below is a list with suggestions to pick from.
General Talents
Expert Talents
Gift Talents
These Talents grant mythical or otherwise supernatural powers. Perhaps they come from your faith, perhaps the same power that makes you a Mythmaker, perhaps simply fate. Or perhaps it is a trick others simply interpret as supernatural.
Equipment
In addition to your MythWatch kit, you may choose 3 extra items from the list on the right. This list is only a suggestion: discuss with your Guide what your character would realistically be carrying, or use the equipment from a similar Origin. During your adventures, you can also find and carry new equipment.
