Character Creation: Essence and Willpower

Essence -> Force connection.

An essence score translates to ability to channel the Force. The average person has a FC score of 1, in that the Force is in them (and the trees, and the rocks...). A "Force Sensitive" character will have an Essence Score of 2 or higher.

There is the same type of personal and peripheral Force connection, but the implications are reversed - Peripheral Force is the one used most commonly. Personal Force would be used to hide Force effects.

There is no Anima banner (clearly).

Peripheral Force is recovered first, and Personal Force after. Those in the presence of a Desmense will recover their Force Connection more quickly.

Willpower:

Willpower mimics the Flat World in the GFFA. It can be spent for a Free Success, to activate a Virtue, or to resist some Force Powers. Some Force skills require the use of Willpower.

When all temporary Willpower points are gone, a character may continue to spend willpower by Drawing on the Dark Side, and taking a Dark Side Point.
