A tag is a label that describes an aspect of the character but primarily has a narrative effect rather than a mechanical one. These define facts about the character: who they are, where they come from, how they behave and so on. Many tags are available to anyone, while others are restricted to characters of certain Origins.

Most characters gain tags as part of their origin and occupation, but these can change throughout play. When you’re creating a character, it’s up to you how many tags you want your character to have. Just keep in mind that the tags you pick should fit well with your character concept.

There’s no limit to the number of tags a character can have. Some characters are more complex than others and can wind up with many tags. Others are more straightforward and have only a few tags.

Dozens of tags—including all of those that arise from Origins and occupations—are described below. As with Traits, many descriptions are kept purposefully vague so the player can fill in the details and make the character feel unique.
