+# Out to the Black
+
+Out to the Black is space sci-fi campaign run in a homebrew fictional universe, run in the Cypher System.
+
+## Campaign Synopsis
+
+* Likely to steal liberally from...
+    * *Firefly*
+    * *Star Trek*
+    * *Farscape*
+    * *Alien*
+* ...mashing up elements of hard sci-fi and space opera under an advanced technology rating (space travel inside a
+  system is relatively ordinary, but traveling beyond a system is almost never undertaken; FTL travel doesn't exist but
+  gravity generation does; *generally* things follow known physics, but there's always the opportunity for psionics,
+  alien stuff, etc.)
+* Looking for ideas on what you guys would like to play, at the moment --- unaffiliated explorers and problem solvers,
+  organized (government or corp) away team with some kind of goal, scavengers/privateers, rebels on the outskirts
+  fighting tyranny?
+    * That'll probably affect the scope of the system/universe, e.g. if there's many uncharted systems in play (with
+      cryosleep or a *lot* of downtime), our system, a Firefly-like 'Verse system involving many suns and whole
+      sub-systems of planets and moons.
+    * Also of course that will affect chargen, what skills you might need to survive, if one of you *needs* to be a
+      pilot, that kind of thing.
+* Actually, on that note, made-up system good, or is our Solar System preferred?
+
+## Character Creation
+
+At their basic level, characters are defined as *NAME is a [adjective] [noun] who [verbs]*. Adjectives are
+**descriptors**, nouns are **types**, similar to character classes, and verbs are **foci**.
+
+Chapter 4 of the *Cypher System Rulebook* details character creation, with description of the mechanical elements, and a
+small sidebar summarizing the steps to take to create a character.
+
+### Sources
+
+The majority of the options below are found, and best described, in the *Cypher System Rulebook*, with an open gaming
+version available via the [Cypher SRD](http://www.cyphersrd.com/). Most others come from *The Stars Are Fire*.
+Anything homebrew we'll write up and link to here.
+
+I skipped listing a lot of the core content, because there's no point in repeating that everything in the core book/SRD
+are fair game --- the exception to this are the foci, which are tailored below.
