Natural hair, eye, and skin colors for each race are listed in the descriptions, but in the 26th century, people can have any of these modified by any number of means. Players should be aware of what the norms are for their characters’ races, but feel free to let each hero express herself and let her appearance reflect her personality. Don’t worry if you grow tired of your initial choices; you can always change them during play!
The Height and Weight table is presented as a system to randomly generate height and weight by race, but players can choose the height and weight of their characters, based on racial norms. The Height and Weight table below presents a base height and weight for adult members of the given species, then a Height Modifier, which is added to the base, and a Weight Modifier, which is multiplied by the Height Modifier and then added to the base weight.

You are free to choose your character’s age. Most players create heroes within the young adult or adult ranges, although one can play a younger or older character if so desired. Young Adults and Adults have base ability scores. As a character ages, her physical abilities decrease and her mental abilities increase, as detailed on the Aging Effects table, below. The effects of each latter stage of aging are cumulative, and the number of years listed for each stage reflects the maximum age of individuals in that stage.
