Getting started

## Character Creation

The **character creation** screen allows you to design and name your player character sprite. Players do not pick a gender for their character, and instead pick one of three body types.

Body type and skin color are the only options that cannot be changed later in the game.

After character creation, the player can change their name, freely switch between the starting clothing items (*clothing*, *footwear*, and *hat*) and customize the color of their clothing in the "You" tab of the Inventory menu.

Other character customization options can be changed after character creation by going to Jukk and later by exchanging for an obsidian mirror.

When creating your character, you can customize:

* **Body Type** (3 body shapes)
* **Skin Color** (15 skin tones)
* **Eyes** (14 eye shapes)
* **Eye Color** (24 eye colors)
* **Tattoo** (12 tattoo/face paint styles)
* **Tattoo Color** (12 tattoo/face paint colors)
* **Hairstyle** (34 hairstyles)
* **Hair Color** (30 hair colors)
* **Beard** (11 facial hair styles)
* **Clothing** (2 starting outfits)
* **Color A** (10 main outfit colors for each outfit)
* **Color B** (4 secondary outfit colors for Clothing Option 1)
* **Footwear** (4 footwear styles)
* **Color A** (4 footwear colors for all styles excluding barefoot)
* **Equipped Hat** (1 option for a Coconut Shell Hat)

## Your First Day

When you wake up on the first day of spring, your grandparents greet you and show you the Northern Field. Igrork suggests that you harvest and try to grow wild seeds, starting the quest The First to Farm.

As you explore the village and begin talking to villagers, you gather more information on your upcoming Rite of Passage.

Your first day in the village has several unique opportunities:

* You can play a game of Bones with **Tetih** to receive a **Stone Box**.
* You can receive three **Tomato Seeds** from **Ada**.
* You can receive three **Carrot Seeds** from **Garrek**.
* You can receive ten **Plant Fiber** from **Acre**.
* You can receive a **Pomegranate** from **Nokk**.
* You can receive a **Red Meat** from **Okka**.
* You can receive a **Birkenia** from **Frer**.
* You can receive a **Traveling Cake** by talking to all villagers and completing the Rite of Passage quest.

These gifts are only available to claim on the first day, before your Rite of Passage.

## Belt

The player has access to a **tool belt** with three sections: *seeds*, *tools*, and *inventory*.

In the **seed** section, you can access your Clan's store of seeds, collected by you, the player. This section of your belt can be rapidly accessed by clicking [1].

In the **tool** section, you can access your tools. This section of your belt can be rapidly accessed by clicking [2]. You begin the game with a torch, a handaxe, and a waterskin.

The **inventory** section of your belt contains the various items that you find in the world, including herbs, fish, and crafting materials. Seeds and tools are not stored in your main inventory. The inventory belt contains eight slots, and can be upgraded twice, by purchasing upgraded belts from Jizu, with contribution. Each upgrade adds another eight slots, up to a maximum of 24. The items in your inventory each correspond to a keyboard number between [3] and [0] for rapid access.
