     I. CREATING YOUR CHARACTER

     This section will cover the answers you will give to Rachel
upon starting a new game. While the thought of translating the
actual questions and answers are still under consideration,  a
brief description of which answer to give should suffice for the
moment.

     KEY

At   - character's attack power
Df   - character's defense power
MP   - character's maximum magic points
Int  - determines character's spell strength, range, and casting
time
React     - determines when the character's turn will take place
each round
CR   - determines character's command range
MR   - character's magic resistance
Mv   - character's movement
A    - character's attack command bonus*
D    - character's defense command bonus*
M    - character's magic resistance command bonus*
TM   - troop's movement
Tr   - character's max troop count

* Applies to the character's troops only.

     Other bonus applications will include spells, skills, items,
and money. In addition, the main character's relationships with
the other characters, primarily the females, are added to the
bonus roster. Yes, that means you can get a head start on hitting
it off with the girls:

Rachel        - Your younger sister. No relation. The main
                character was adopted by her father.
Silphanil     - The elder of the twin princess' of Caconsis.
Angelina      - The younger of the twin princess' of Caconsis.
Selena        - A high ranking commander of Caconsis.
Listle        - A dark minion under Vosil's command .
Alignment     - How the other character's view you.

Q1
      Your answer to this question will determine which final
class slots will be available. You are to pick two of the four
cards presented:

       A1 - Ace
       A2 - Jack
       A3 - Queen
       A4 - King

Q2
     The next answer  will determine what classes will be
available and in what order the classes will be set in. Of the
four options given, you are to choose three of the following. The
order you choose the options in will determine the character's
class structure.

          answer 1       answer 2       answer 3    answer 4
Class 1   Gladiator      Hawk Lord      Sorcerer    Ecclesiastic

     * The answers in Q6b are the negative form of Q6a. Though
whatever you answered from Q6a will be eliminated from your
optional answers in Q6b. Example:

     If I chose A1 from Q6a, A1 in Q6b would not appear. That
would only give me A2, A3, and A4 to choose from in my next set
of answers.
