Two-Shots
Backdrop
It is the conjunction of the million planes. All things are permitted and none may have the label "impossible" applied to them; to so such is heresy. In a Dimensional plane Far, Far, Far Away and in the Distant Future a Crime has been committed. The Republican Garnet Crystal has been treacherously and most foully stolen from the Hierophant of Caladone. And she wants it back!
Character Creation
Each player has eight character points which are divided between as many traits as one wants. These are not solely positive or negative; these are literally the key points that define your character and should therefore be well rounded. Mary Sue's tend to get swallowed into the Dimensional Walls of the Planes. In honor of MJ's Red Mercury suggest at least one character-related plot point relating to your character (and the above plot point), which may be nearly anything. . . .
It is recommended to have several different traits; and something that can be used as a defence. i.e. +3 Icy, +2 Caring, +3 Kendo. Traits are to represent the key points of your character; obviously pick things that fight your concept and that you will consistently use.
Buying Things
Stuff like a Space Train, or Space Battleship, will be bought with character points.
System
1d10. When doing something that relates to your character trait you add your trait bonus to the number of die you roll. The base Die is always 1d; so if you try something that doesn't have a trait you can convince the GM to let you apply you can still pass the Difficulty Test.
