===The Phase Trio===
The final three aspects created during character creation relate to a characters first foray into a life of adventure, and their interpersonal interactions with the other player characters prior to the start of the game. For each phase, start by writing out a brief paragraph describing the phase of that character's life. For the Crossing Paths aspects it is necessary to work with other players to develop an aspect that links your character to one of theirs.

====First Adventure====
A character's First Adventure aspect defines how they first got into the adventuring life, or their first major life-changing event. In D&D 5e terms this can be thought of as relating to the character's Background.

Example: D writes out that Amon spent the decade prior to the start of the game in isolation, living as a hermit in the mountains before a discovery forced him to leave his self-imposed exile and return to civilization. The details of that revelation aren't immediately important, and are something that can come up later as another Aspect, or something that might simply develop into the story. For now, he writes down '''A Decade in the Wilderness'''. He might be able to invoke this for things related to surviving in the wilds, knowing herbs and foraging, but something that might be compelled when it comes to relating to and interacting with people.

====Crossing Paths====
The next phase of character creation relates to how your character got involved with one or more other characters. In some circumstances, this can be dictated somewhat by the circumstances of the campaign, but still personalized. In general, this should relate to another character's First Adventure, where your character either complicated the adventure, resolved part of the situation, or some combination of the two, acting in a supporting role in the other character's story.

Example: Avi has decided that characters all started their adventuring career as members of the Magistery through a shared trial. The members of the extended party are the determined few who managed to hold on during an intense period of initiation. Since this is meant to establish an immediate togetherness with the rest of the party, D creates the Aspect '''Forged in the Same Fire'''. It's possible other players pick the same or a similar-sounding aspect, but isn't guaranteed or required.

====Crossing Paths Again====
The next phase of character creation is a rehash of the previous one, either advancing the story further or including a different character or set of characters.
