====== 04 The Characters ======

The players other than the Grandfather play the protagonists of the game.  They are all members of Faction Paradox.

  - Have a look at the [[..:players:characters:start]]
      * **The Chosen One** (an Idealist) \\ You are the last scion of Faction Paradox. A character for the headstrong and driven.
      * **The Citizen** (a Postmortem Investigator) \\ This is not your first life.  You've been to heaven and back for a reason.
      * **The Diplomat** (Diplomat) \\ Not every solution has to be a violent solution and some of the convoluted complex solutions do actually work occasionally. Plus there's always fear and intimidation.
      * **The Fighter** (Generalist) \\ You are the timeline frontline.  More than one player may be a Fighter.
      * **The Homeworlder** (Noble) \\ Despite being a Great House approved member, there's a lot of stigma attached to being Gallifreyan.
      * **The Killer** (Brute) \\ You were the terror of the galaxy and now you're a time terrorist. You were a Dalek, Cyberman, Sontaran or some other warmongering symbollic representation of fascism.
      * **The Leader** (Mastermind) \\ This group is your group, you are the leader.  You have responsibility for the coterie and the only vote.
      * **The Potential Recruit** (not yet a member) \\ You don't know where you fit into the Faction yet.  This playbook is mostly blank and used as a placeholder for when you eventually are recruited.
  - Each Playbook has a number of [[..:players:backgrounds:start]] listed you can choose from.  Each has a move attached.
     * The Citizen has specific backgrounds that also determine which [[..:play:movetypes#signature_moves|Signature Move]] you have
