Foundations

These are the foundations of your character; their defining drives, what inspires them, and motivates them. See Character Creation for how Foundations fit into character building.

Loyalties and Oaths

Loyalties are a special type of Foundation. All characters have at least 2 Loyalties, and can have up to 4 of them. Unlike other Foundations, loyalties are selected from a (finite) list that includes: * Deity * Sovereign * Homeland * Comrades/Friends * Race * Family/Clan

Ambitions

These are goals that your character has. They help direct your character as well as being the primary method of gaining Effort. They can be long-term or short-term goals.

Ambition Triangle

A helpful rule of thumb for creating ambitions is to have 3 different ambitions that have a different focus:

• Inward-facing: something you want to achieve within yourself, like learning something important to your character, or developing a relationship
• Outward-facing: something you want to make happen around you, like teaching someone something important to them, or leaving a legacy
• Directional: something that points you in a direction, like where you're hoping to go, or someone or something you're looking for
