 Most characters in Mahou Galaxy are expected to gain at least one facet level by adolescence. Your first level in a facet is '''500 XP.'''
-You may level in multiple facets concurrently, but they must have differing skill specialties! The XP cost resets for each new facet provided its specialty does not overlap with an existing one. ''Example: Taking a level of Brawler while you already have Level 1 Warrior would cost as much as buying Level 2 Warrior as they share the Gym specialty, but leveling in Priest instead would only cost 500 XP, as it is your first level in a History Specialty Facet.''

-The first step for creating a character is to determine their origin. From where in the galaxy do they originate? What are their goals, and personality like? Perhaps their fears, dreams, or unresolved traumatic memories. Maybe something is waiting for them back home, something they need to graduate to return to. Whatever the case, come up with a story yourself or talk to others to help develop an idea.

 If you wish to make a Hybrid Race, it is suggested that you take ''Inherent Bloodline'' on character creation. Do note that natural Hybrids are quite rare in Mahou Galaxy.
 If a race you wish to play is not listed in the subraces of the list, use a base race! Their stats are flexible and descriptions meant to be widely applicable.

 === Home World ===
 Select a home for your character to hail from. This will probably determine their history and upbringing. While Mahou Galaxy may seem like a daunting setting, the unique planets provide a wide range of potential backgrounds. Perhaps your character was lost on the Terra One disaster? A victim of the [[Legion War]]? As you continue to explore the setting, more options will become available to you, and don't be afraid to ask others for help!
 Planets that have not discovered [[Biowarp]] technology are considered '''Watcher-Protected Planets'''. WPPs are patrolled by menacing Watcher vessels that forbid any alien species from contacting or landing with the society until they advance to a point of technology on par with the rest of the galaxy.
 Alternatively, you may wish to create an [[Altearths|Altearth]]. Altearths provide a more smooth entry to the setting as they are identical and numerous, in addition to having potentially alternate histories. This is one of the most common means of entry for new students, and most Altearths are considered WPPs.
