It is a commonly stated fact that Imperators are not mortal; that they are greater and stranger than we may ever aspire to be while remaining ourselves; that even the Nobilis cannot quite compare. They are alien, terrifying even when beautiful, even when trying their hardest to be benevolent.

This is all completely true!

However.

Imperators-even the greatest among them, even Firstborn and Attaris Ebrôt Appêkā and the members of the Council of Four-

They're still people, you know?

As incomprehensible as they are to us, as incomprehensible as we are to them, they're still sapient beings. They have self-concepts, relationships with other creatures, and opinions on the world in which they live. They exist as thinking minds.

And any mind that exists can be hurt.

A Glitch Lifepath

A Glitch Lifepath, the main instructions

Building Ganedil Istrian, an example of how to use it, written by Juniper Roan

The Glitch book's character creation section (chapter 5) mentions a whole bunch of thematics, like Sphere and Bane and Technique, but has no real guidance about what they might look like. I wanted to fix that. So I decided to make a lifepath.

This is based on the lifepath system seen in Nobilis 3rd ed. and Diary of Deceivers, the one with two keys and a bunch of circles you write in. Then I trimmed out the requirement to draw the circles so that I could write it in a flat text document. (You can use the bubble rules from either of those books if you'd prefer.)

Hopefully this helps those of you who are eyeing the game, or who have it but don't know what to do with it!

My Printable Glitch Character Sheet

There's a sheet in the back of the Glitch book, a character sheet for Glitch that looks like the character sheet for Nobilis 2e. It's a nice sheet and a nice throwback, but I decided I wanted something with much, much more space on it. So I found the font used for most of Glitch (it's Caslon, btw) and started tinkering around in Scribus. I added a touch of the icons from Chuubo's and some font art of flowers. Finally, I adjusted all the kerning. By hand.

The result is a sheet that is four pages long. It's designed so that you can print it out and write on it (it's not an online sheet).

You can find it here.

My Big Chuubo's Character Sheet

So, I made a poster-size Chuubo's character sheet. It's... big. Very big. Originally the intent was to make it so that you could tape up the quest cards, but then things went a bit off the rails and I ended up with a very ornately decorated poster. To wit:

You can find the various iterations and printables over here, along with assembly instructions.
