Most character creation, Archtypes and backgrounds will be handled by the world and campaign settings. What is found here is links to the Base Verps character creation, which is generally available on every world throughout the Ver’dea.
Verps
To allow more flexibility the Ver’dea uses Verps, a point based system, where a character ‘buys’ what they want with experience points. While this makes character creation a bit more complicated than the pick-a-class type systems, it allows a player to create a character closer to what they envision, and to grow the character organically rather than being destined to follow the path of their training.
The first thing which in needed is the amount of Experience Points (ExPt) the character starts with. This is determined either by the Game-Master or as a group. Generally they are given according to campaign level,

Vocation And Skills
Vocations and the character’s training and experience in a profession or career. Each one is a collection of skills and abilities which are shared by everyone who is trained in that profession as well as a bonus to roles related to the vocation. The vocational background can also be considered as a template for the skills required to be considered part of that profession. Generally, characters will choose a class as well or instead which are vocational back grounds with special abilities attached to them, such as wizard or holy-warror

Flaws
most flaws are associated with a species or state of being, such as a vampire’s problem with holy items, or a troll’s vulnerability to fire. The others will come from some sort of limitations imposed by a class or conditioning. Such as the Imperial Soldier’s conditioning preventing them from betraying the Empire or the code of conduct of the Paladins of Kro’Gurin. These flaws gain the character bonus experience points, which have the effect of lowering the background kit.
