I have no words to describe how good it feels to find a system like Aether RPG when it comes to both being a player who loves customization and a GM who loves to center player agency. 

In addition to having a fun way of approaching skill check resolutions and handling combat, Aether does a phenomenal job of encouraging the party to think about one another's goals. Too often I have encountered parties who have one or two people who want to steal the spotlight from others. Or worse, people try to get their stories to shine only for other people not to acknowledge them.

Not here with Aether! Aether's Omen and Values/Bond Trackers go a long way to emphasizing level progression for everyone and incentivizes working to tell one another's stories.

I love when systems do this and Aether puts so much thought and effort into making the experience for everyone, even when it just comes to making different ways to make getting experience feel more narratively satisfying.

Nothing but absolute love and praise for this great system which more folks should take time to check out!
