 ===== Overview =====
 Player Characters (PCs) for [[pen_and_paper_adventures|One Hundred and Two Lightyears Away Pen and Paper Adventures]] are created using an adapted D&D 5e ruleset — streamlined for a gritty sci-fi western setting.

 ===== Predefined Player Characters =====
-Below is the official roster of predefined PCs available for download.
-Each comes with a full character sheet (PDF), balanced stats, backstory, traits, flaws, equipment, and tactical features.
-Dungeon Masters may add or remove characters depending on party size.
+Predefined Player Characters are designed to help groups jump into the story quickly, ensuring mechanical balance and narrative cohesion within the 102 universe. Each character sheet reflects the realities of the age they belong to — whether the chaotic freedom of the [[beta_age|Beta Age]] or the regulated tension of the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]].

+=== Beta Age PCs ===
-==== Beta Age Player Characters ====
+All official Beta Age adventures currently take place under the umbrella of the [[office_for_special_operations|Office for Special Operations (OfSO)]]. The OfSO operates in the grey zones between diplomacy, espionage, frontier justice, and criminal mediation. Since the organization rarely deploys its own personnel, it relies heavily on freelancers — skilled individuals hired on short contracts to handle missions too delicate, too remote, or too deniable for regular forces.
-Adventures set during the [[beta_age|Beta Age]] focus on frontier chaos, colonial tensions, and early encounters with Native Tribes.
-**Available Beta Age PCs:**
+This means: All playable Beta Age characters are freelancers of the OfSO, brought together by circumstance rather than loyalty.   Each brings their own motivations, flaws, and expertise into the dangerous early years of VOI 700 D.
+Here you'll find an Overview of all available Beta Age Player Characters:

+=== Gamma Age PCs ===
-==== Gamma Age Player Characters ====
+All official Gamma Age adventures take place within the regulated, post-war society of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]].  During this era, Player Characters operate within a world shaped by strict resource control, political factionalism, and the silent pressure of [[gaia|GAIA]]-driven oversight.   Unlike the frontier chaos of the Beta Age, Gamma Age characters navigate social hierarchies, black markets, bureaucratic labyrinths, and the consequences of the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]].
-Gamma Age characters operate in a more political, regulated environment.
-Their backgrounds often tie into:
-  * Federal Confederation
-  * Allotment system
-  * Guarding Troopers
-  * black markets
-  * social surveillance under GAIA
-**Available Gamma Age PCs:**
+As with the Beta Age, predefined Player Characters are available for quick and balanced gameplay — but none have been released yet.
-  * *No Gamma Age Player Characters available yet.*
+Here you’ll find an overview of all available Gamma Age Player Characters:
-(Placeholders will automatically update as character sheets are added.)
