One thing that I didn't really get into was how to generate characters in a non-narrative way. Here's how: You have 9 points to spend on traits and 7 to spend on skills. 1 skill must be at least 3 and be your career skill. No trait can have a value of 1. There you go, nice and simple. The idea is to come up with a strong concept for the character and to devote the time to fleshing out that character's background, personality, loves, hates, etc. The game mechanic part should then only take a few minutes.
