As with most things in Victorian England, a character’s starting wealth is reflective of their Social Class.\u00a0 In general terms starting wealth is Discretionary Income (What is left AFTER expenses are paid.)<\/p>\n

In addition to these funds each character will start with a wardrobe.\u00a0 Typically a Work Day set of clothes and a ‘Sunday Best’ set.\u00a0 Bear in mind that the quality, style and condition of the clothes is not going to be the same for a member of the Working Class versus those of the Middle Class and especially the Upper Middle Class.<\/p>\n

Additionally each character may select a number of Accessory Items from their Social Class Accessory List.\u00a0 These items represent things that the character has accumulated in life to date.\u00a0 Purchases, gifts, inheritances, found, stolen, won, etc.<\/p>\n
