I was back in the States visiting my family for the first two weeks of November. We were having a Thanksgiving / family reunion / 90th birthday party for my grandfather and his twin brother, and my younger cousins, 16 and 13, were attending. I thought it would be cool to run a quick RPG for them, and as I've been on a Fate Accelerated kick, I spent October whipping up some characters.
I used the excellent Masters of Umdaar World of Adventure product for inspiration, as it's a great resource for fantasy characters. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to actually play. We got roped into talking to relatives and doing family stuff, and I had to settle for just handing them the binder of character sheets, a copy of Fate Accelerated and a pack of Fate dice to them before they left. Bummer.
Anyway, since they're already made, I figured why not share the characters here as well? I made ten characters, but as two of them (a Wood Elf Druid and a Tiefling Paladin) use artwork that isn't available to the public, I can't share those (they were Patreon exclusives). Here they are in alphabetical order.

I was rather hoping that the attachments would provide a preview, but I guess not. Oh well. Each character has the usual five aspects, +3/+2/+2/+1/+1/+0 Approach spread, three Stunts, and three Refresh. The aspects are: - High Concept - combining lead approach, bioform, and profession;
- Motivation - expressed as an "I must..." statement;
- Something about background;
- Something about personality;
- An important or interesting piece of gear carried.
I tried to give each character a decent spread of Stunts that covered several actions and used more than one approach. In other words, the Fighter doesn't have Stunts that are only useful in combat. I'm tinkering with ideas for an adventure to go with these characters, and as I don't really have that much free time, I would be really interested in people playtesting it for me when I get to that point.

I really like the characters. Are you mostly working from MoU or have you branched out on your own some? You could probably sell a boatload of a "D&D but in FATE" supplement over at DriveThruRPG.

Thanks. I'm using Masters of Umdaar for examples and inspiration, especially with the stunts. When making the characters I would frequently read the MoU book to see if there was something I could use "as is", or something close that I could tweak. For example, the Explosive Runes stunt for the Audacious Human Battlemage was just the Super Strong stunt from MoU. All I did was change the trigger and the resulting aspect. But I don't think anything on the character sheets limits them to being used only in MoU games. I was intentionally trying to make them somewhat generic so people could use them in any fantasy game. If I replaced that artwork, I could probably sell them on DTRPG. If I ever get that adventure written up, I'll definitely try to sell it.

A bit of a Necro-thread here, but have people seen Paul Stefko's "Dungeon Accelerated" characters? He's doing one a week (I think) and has the fighter and the cleric up. Now, I really don't care for Prian Patterson's illustrations, but the characters themselves are fan-fucking-tastic. They take a PbtA-style "pick from a couple lists of options" approach to Fate Accelerated character creation. I really dig it, and it looks fantastic for new players.

Hi everyone. I'm both necro-ing this thread and being a horrible shill. See, I've started collecting the Fate Accelerated Fantasy resources I've made onto a blogsite. You can find it here: Thanks for looking. Also, I would be very interested in hearing if people use any of these characters or monsters, and what you thought of them. I've also made a Google Plus page, a Facebook page, and a Twitter account for Fate Accelerated Fantasy stuff.
