To create a character in Eternal Odyssey, first think and imagine the character you want to play as and follow the step-by-step guide, to create the character you envisioned.
== Step 1: Allocate Attributes ==

Physique: 	Strength, durability and resilience.
Agility 	Speed, reflexes and perception.
Intellect 	Knowledge, wisdom, and acquired knowledge.
Glamour 	Charisma, beauty and persuasive ability.
Player characters being with 0 in all attributes, and can then grant +2 to any one attribute, and +1 to two other attributes. Thus, possessing any arrangement of [2, 1, 1, 0] in their attributes, such as for example, [0 Physique, 1 Agility, 1 Intellect, 2 Glamour].
Additionally, player characters can choose to give -1 to one of their attributes, to grant another attribute +1. This also determines what major constellation the character was born on.
Characters also possess Condition, which represents the state of health or well-being of the given character, going down whenever the character takes damage, and going up when they rest and heal, with player characters starting with a Maximum Condition equal to 10 + PHY.

All player characters belong to one of several intelligent and humanoid Race (FOR PLAYTEST USE Playtest RACE instead), granting an appropriate attribute increase, and certain special abilities, based on the cultural or magical properties the various races are often subjected too. Each race may also possess two or more sub-races, grating another attribute increase, and unique features.
