This RPG is going to be more story than combat focused, the combat will mostly be me deciding what would likely happen.

Story: His family was from Germany with Polish roots, though during the interwar periods his family immigrated to America. He now wishes to fight in World War II so that he may one day liberate the oppressed in Germany, and bring democracy to his now fascist homeland.
Question before I try to join: Do all stats start at 1 and then you have 10 to add or do all stats start and 1 and then you increase them to add up to 10? Meaning you only have 5 to add.
