Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

STEP 4
Personality
Your personality is your general demeanor. It also
mechanically reflects how you react when under
pressure — represented by your status dice — and
how your presence affects the other heroes even
after you’ve been taken out.
As part of this step, you also create a custom
quality based on your hero’s story. At this point,
make sure you’ve thought about who your hero is
and how all the previous pieces fit together. Your
heroic backstory should give you a pretty good idea
of the hero you’ve created. During this stage, you
create your own quality that sums up your hero in a
way that isn’t already represented by your qualities.
See the “Special” quality on page 121 on creating
this quality during this step.
