To create a character, pick one Background, one Color, one Fighting Style and one Power Origin. Each choice will give you different skills, powers and anything else we put in the game. Then choose your name and your character is ready.
SKILLS mechanics: Whenever you make a skill check, reveal and discard the first card from a poker deck. You succeed if the card's suite matches your skills (for example, if you got the Flaming Phoenix fighting Style and get a spades card on a Perception check). Jokers are sucesses, unless you got all 4 suites in the skill.
