Example Characters

I encourage you to try and make your own characters (It really is quite easy!) But maybe you need inspiration or creating characters just isn't your thing. No problem, here is a list of sample characters and their abilities. Remember, Liminal Stars is a classless RPG meaning these characters don't have a class but are inspired by an archetype to help us choose their abilities.

Verayne, the Slayer

Biography:

A runaway noble from the Oscand Empire. Verayne was tired of her life of always being told what to do and how to act, she stole a ship and fled to explore the far reaches of space. The ship was a prototype from Lastria, possibly one of the most capable fighters in it's class, but the truly intriguing design element was to include an AI, even though AI has been largely banned since Aphellion's Rebellion, Lastria found a loophole to this issue by making the AI unable to directly interact with any of the primary systems, instead it provides calculated insights and navigation data to the pilot.

Verayne and her ship, which she named Vex, explore the galaxy taking odd jobs hunting bounties on fugitives or monsters to make the money they need to continue their endless journey. She never stays in one place for too long, as her older sister, Yukari, Seems to always be just a few steps behind.
