For this episode, Devon returns to talk with me about characterization. That is, coming up with your character's backstory, their appearance and their outlooks and personality. We discuss quite a few places where you can draw inspiration besides just the Genesys core book, including:
Fate Core Character Idea and Phase Trio
20 Questions from Legend of the 5 Rings (you can download the 5th edition beta here)
Cypher System
13th Age's one unique thing
GameMaster's Apprentice Base Deck (also with fantasy, age of sail, sci-fi, and steampunk varients)
TVTropes.Org (specifically the personal appearance tropes)
