Danny and Ryan have taken the time to make a character for the Silvervine Game system.  It is one of the easiest character creation systems out there.  It is also a good demonstration of the freedoms you have while creating a character in the Silvervine System.

 

We hope you liked it.  If you did, take a look at our Doomsday Drive.
