Characteristics in SOA are largely the same as in Mythras core. Power is called Ancestor Art, or ANC (rather than POW). Ancestor Art is a measure of affinity or alignment with a character's Ancestor totem.

Attributes
Most attributes are calculated normally, using core Mythras rules.
ANC (Ancestor Art Points)
ANC may be considered a regenerating pool of energy for totemic and magical powers. It is used in place of Magic Points and also powers Ancestor Art (see Ancestor Art).
ANC starts at POW + 10.
ANC is recovered at 1 point per 3 hours of normal activity, or 3 points per hour of meditation in which one communes with one's Ancestor.
Action Points
See action points.
Mole Crickets are shy and retiring
Scorpions are, well, kind of ugly and rude
