	Character ~~Creation~~		Character creation for Edge of the Imperium follows essentially the same pattern and steps as normal character creation for Genesys, with a few alterations.

			'''''Step one''''' is to select a Birthright. This choice takes the place of Archetype or Species as presented in the Genesys Rulebook. Your character may count themselves among the top officers of a Rogue Trader's Dynasty now, but that may not have always been the case. Rogue Traders are notorious for elevating individuals from the lower ranks of society that no others would ever dream of doing. While a character's birthright usually represents how or to whom a character was born, it does not have too. I should, however, represent the conditions of their formative years that lead them to become the person they are today. Select your character's Birthright from the list provided below.
