Focus: This is the Grit of the Character: it represents how much they can push themselves in the pursuit of their beliefs. Based on the Prologue and the background you subsequently write, the GM will assign you a focus rating, with a 10 level hierarchy of focus that determines in what sorts of actions you may use your focus. If you fail on Focused actions, you may lose Focus and/or Path. Path: The Gemini is a strange place, and not everyone values the same things. Based on the Prologue and the background you subsequently write, the GM will assign you a path and a level along that path, with a 10 level hierarchy of sins that you must adhere to. If you fail to do so, you may lose path and/or focus.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Natural abilities/traits that are not easily characterized as above.
