A sample character sheet with Harry Dresden's information can be found on the Downloads page. The character creation section is found in book 1, on page 52. The quick overview is found on page 53, but it's also listed here for ease of use. (This has been copied without alteration from the book.)


 * 1) Sketch out your Character idea:
 * 2) * Pick a template from Types & Templates (page 72), making note of all of the things you must do in order to build a character of that type. Many templates will place restrictions on what you can do in these steps.
 * 3) * Zero in on the character's high concept (page 54) by picking an aspect that sums up the character in a phrase. Keep in mind that many templates require that the high concept indicate the template type.
 * 4) * Come up with some sort of trouble (page 55)—a recurring complication or issue that makes life particularly interesting and troublesome for your character. This is an aspect as well.
 * 5) * Make up a name for your character (page 58).
 * 6) Build your Character's Background:
 * 7) * Go through the first three phases (page 59), picking one aspect for each phase.
 * 8) * Work with the other players by participating in their past adventures and having them participate in yours to round out the final two phases (page 61). You'll pick an aspect for each phase here, too.
 * 9) Finish up your Character:
 * 10) * Assign your skills (page 65).
 * 11) * Select stunts and supernatural powers (page 66).
 * 12) * Determine your final refresh level and your stress and consequences (page 68).
