So I've decided to post what I have on Mechanics and how they work, I will do another thread which is more bare bones which is the setting and fluff and then a the two Factions threads which are the Secret factions (Feats/powers) and Over Factions (Plot factions).
Stats: These act as the natural talent that provides the base for the skills. They are the physical descriptors for the character.
Prototype Stats
-Strength: How physically strong your character is.
-Dexterity: How precise you can move such as balance.
-Agility: How well your character can take physical exertion(Running, jumping, etc)
-Constitution: How well your character can take physical pain or exhuastion.
-Charisma: How well your character can handle people.
-Intelligence: How well your character can retain knowledge and information and how well your character can process information.
-Mentality: How well your character can handle mental strain (multitasking, lengthy problems)
Now how stats translate into Skills
For every two points in a stat it translates one point into skills. But the stat has to be at the values 9-11 for the skill to be at zero. If a stat is below 9 then the skills that are under that stat start below zero. If a stat is 12 for example the skills under that stat start at one.
Examples:
Stat = 4 then the Skill = -2
Stat = 10 then the skill = 0
Stat = 15 then the skill = +2
Skills: A skill is what it sounds like, something that the character can do at some proficency. The higher the skill the better the character can perform.

Rolling Mechanism
The rolling mechanism in this game will be 2D6 + Skill. If there is another factor involved in the roll then it is 2D6+Skill (+or-)unknown.
Alternative Mechanism
Some rolls may involve different dice as percentages may be used or damage needs to be calculated.
