 Fictional persons in the game are called "characters." These may be run either by the game's players or by the DM as "non-player characters" (NPCs). The former are called "Player Characters" (PCs), and it is for these that the [[World (Alexis' game setting)|game's setting]] is chiefly devised. The world exists independently of them, but its structures, opportunities, dangers and rewards are all meant to be engaged through their actions. It is therefore assumed that player characters are above average, possessing unusual capability, adaptability or ambition, and are thus generally superior to ordinary [[Non-player Characters]].

It is for these "PCs" that the game’s setting is devised.  It is therefore supposed that Player Characters are above average, and thus superior to ordinary NPCs.

-Player characters are divided into "classes."  Classes are groups of persons sharing alike professional roles, qualities, characteristics and motivations — though members of a single class may represent a very wide range of vocations, personalities and life plans. There are eleven character classes in Alexis' world, described separately on these pages:
+Player characters are divided into "[[Character Class|classes]]." Classes are groups of persons sharing alike [[Progenitor|professional roles]], [[Ability Stats|qualities]], characteristics and motivations, though members of a single class may represent a very wide range of vocations, personalities and life plans. A class is not merely a fighting style or narrow trade, but a broader pattern of aptitude and development through which a character engages the world. It defines, in practical terms, how the character gains [[Knowledge Points|knowledge]], earns [[Experience (X.P.)|experience]], approaches [[Combat|conflict]] and grows in [[Sage Ability|ability]] over time.

+In the creation and maintenance of Player Characters, there are many game elements with which the player should become familiar. These concern the character's nature, abilities, training, relationships with other characters and the practical demands of survival within the game world. Together, they define not only what a character is capable of doing, but how that character functions as a living person within the setting. A successful player benefits from understanding these parts not as isolated mechanics, but as connected features of a coherent person moving through a dangerous and reactive world.
