Character question

[Mark]

Don't do things that will result in a fight, such as gaining a bounty, finding an artefact, or entering any competitive events. Whether or not you enter combat stems from the choices you make!

I am more interested in the venue of making a character. For example, if I wish to play a non-combatant, they won't have stats, proficiencies or moves

You'd still have to allocate stats and have at least Physical Strength/Ranged Proficiency, even if you never use them. Some players choose to roleplay their characters being weaker than their stats dictate, so there's precedent for it if you want to go that route.

That said, a good portion of the content on this site is aimed at combat so that's something to consider if you plan on joining. More on that in the various rule pages.
