From the introduction: To create your character you simply choose a name for them, and then divide the page into a big section called powers and a big section called promises. The first thing you will write in the powers section is "Nigh Infinite Cosmic Power" and the first thing you will write in the Promises section is "itty bitty living space". The rest of Character Creation consists of bargaining for other powers and in return taking additional promises to balance them out.
