Set Up At Least 2 Characters

• it’s easier to build a dynamic with at least two characters
  • for a greater challenge use just one
  • use too many characters and the short story gets messy
• use existing characters created from the Chaos Cast Challenges
  • or create new characters
    • Seventh Sanctum’s Character Generator
  • you can use an online dice roller to randomly select an existing character
    • if you have 7 characters and you used a d8 but rolled an 8, create a new character to fill the empty slot (or roll again) for example
    • you are also free to just choose the characters you want to write about
