=== Languages ===
>List the languages your character is capable of speaking, reading, and writing. All characters are fluent in a dialect of Basic.

>>Advanced (Up to 2 Skills may be assigned as Advanced)
>>Intermediate (Up to 3 Skills may be assigned as Intermediate)
>>Basic (Up to 4 Skills may be assigned as Basic)

=== Skill Area [Skill] ===
>Describe your character's skill here, and their level of competence within the square brackets. Competence levels include Beginner, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Master.
>A skill area listing is not necessary for representing daily tasks at Beginner level. For example, the Vehicles skill doesn't need to be added to your character's biography if they will only use it to commute to work.
>>If they get involved in a car chase though, a GM using these guidelines is unlikely to rule in the character's favour over someone with the Vehicles skill.

Many people may know how to use the Firearms skill, but some people can intuitively reassemble firearms or quick-draw.

>This section can be omitted from the character biography if your character knows no spells, psionics, or other magic-like abilities.

    * Subspells from a root school, an item in an array of spells, or variants can be listed like this.
