Once you have joined the game, use these parameters to create your character. 20 point buy, standard starting gold, max HP at level 1. Max HP at every subsequent level. The age of your character should be between 16 and 30, if they are a native of Viszudar. If they are not, they may be older. The reasoning for this will be provided in the 'Government' forum post. Your character's ancestry must be human, or covered somewhere here in this forum. In this campaign, if you choose something other than a human, you are an adopted slave of the Thal. Adopted slaves are considered normal citizens, once they pass their rite of becoming, and become full citizens. Generally, this is just seen as a trial of passage for adopted slaves. All alignments are allowed. If you're evil, don't be a cartoon villain. Regardless of what you choose, your character should have some motivation to work with others, and as a baseline, be cooperative to your party. All player characters speak Viszud. Below are the languages available. Languages available upon creation are limited to Viszud, Gaskhar ( Goblin), Othok-Dere (Glimmerlake Dwarven), Yog (men of the east), Silénian (language of spirits of benevolence), Malphog (language of spirits of malevolence), Adressian (men of the far west), Eeg-Ulu (language of the giants), Jin é (language of elves, spirits of chaos, or fey), Valnok (language of spirits of order. Few of these creatures exist), Orasid (language of diasporic humanoid rabbit-folk) . Every player character will be a part of a house, and receive a birth sign. These provide tangible in game benefits, and allow a greater amount of character customization and identity. Please check those postings to learn more. Your character may only be a part of one house, and receive one birth sign. Don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question or get stuck. The information in subsequent lore posts will be as it is presented in world to your character, and may or may not be factually correct in the broader scope of the game world.
