Step 1: Concept

Who are you? Answer these questions:

 Pronouns: He/him, she/her, they/them, etc. 
 Role: What's your place in Duskaran society? 
 
 Duskaran Roles 
 Rather than a "job before the collapse," you have a role that defines your expertise: 
 Daywalker: Day-side salvager with exceptional thermal resistance. You venture into scorching margins to recover mining drones and rare materials. 
 Weatherworker: Psychic ritualist who senses and influences atmospheric patterns. You guide caravans, protect settlements, and predict superstorms. 
 Water Judge: Resource arbiter who manages distribution and resolves disputes. You hold power over life and death in a world of scarcity. 
 Caravanner: Trade guild member who knows the routes, politics, and dangers between settlements. You broker deals and navigate intrigue. 
 Deepkin Scout: Cave explorer from the night side. You navigate Deep Roads, harvest geothermal resources, and communicate through resonance. 
 Beastwalker: Fauna bonded, with a psychic connection to wind serpents, thermal lizards, or other native creatures. You're tracker, messenger, and protector. 
 Archivist: Lore keeper who preserves Earth knowledge and investigates Duskaran mysteries. You decode data crystals and study ancient structures. 
 Stormchaser: Reckless explorer who pushes into danger zones for discovery, glory, or profit. You thrive on risk and live for the next expedition. 
 Pick a role or create your own. It's a starting point, not a constraint.
