Background and Professions

Creating a background for a new character and choosing a profession are non-intrinsic elements in the World of Aerthinia because they are not directly tied to the mechanics of the game. However, they are still important for the story and the overall experience of the game.

When a player creates a background for their character, they are essentially creating a story that explains who their character is, where they come from, and what motivates them. This can include details such as the character's family history, their childhood experiences, and any significant events that have shaped their personality and goals. This background can help the player understand their character better and make more informed decisions when playing the game.

Similarly, choosing a profession for a character can provide important context for the story and the gameplay. Different professions can have different skills and abilities that can be useful in different situations. For example, a character who is a skilled blacksmith might be able to create powerful weapons and armor, while a character who is a talented healer might be able to help injured allies recover more quickly. Choosing a profession can also help the player create a more well-rounded character with a unique set of skills and abilities.
