Custom Character Beginner's Guide

The following is a small guide to creating a Custom Character.

## Character Creation

Creating a character is relatively simple. Below is a guide for creating characters with pictures provided. You can do each step in any order, but you Character must have a name. There is also a bug that can cause you to get stuck on a certain page.

### Name and Description

You will be presented, at first, with a screen saying: "Name (Required)" and "Description (Optional)".

Here you should type in what you want the name of your character to be and, if you so desire, a description of their backstory. For this demonstration a Farmer will be used as the custom character.

Then click across at the top to go into step 2.

### Appearance

Now you should see what looks like a mishap of a person, this is where we do our appearance! Click on the arrows to cycle through what they modifiers, each of which are explained below:

* Changes the character's clothes on their torso.
* Changes the overall colour of hats and clothes.
* Changes hairstyles and hats, on your character.
* Changes the overall colour for hair and facial hair.
* Changes the skin tone on your character.
* Changes the colour of shoes.
* Changes the pupil and eye size.
* Changes the whites of the eyes to a different colour.
* Adds hats and sunglasses.
* Completely randomizes your character's look.

After all that your character should look a little like this:

### Attributes

Endurance, strength, accuracy and speed. The 4 core components that make up any character. This is where points start to matter. Points can be seen on the right hand side of the screen along with limitations on Traits and items:

Points are a sort of currency used for the rest of the steps in creating a character. You have 20 to spend at first, though more can be gained in a later step. If you exceed the points limit you will only be able to use your character in sandbox mode. Getting back to attributes, each time you click the arrow to up one specific stat you will spend 2 points. If you wish to know what each of these stats mean please go here. After that here's what my farmer looks like:

### Special Abilities

Special abilities. These are some of the most expensive things when creating character. They are not required, however can be very useful. I couldn't find one that suited my farmer so I didn't use one.

### Traits

Traits, good and bad, are a main contributor to creating characters, here you can also regain some points. When accessed you are immediately presented with a long list of traits. Some cost a lot of points, some cost very few points. Picking a bad trait will actually regain points, rather than spending them. You may only have 8 traits on any one character
For my farmer I chose:

### Starting Items

Items, the final part of creating a character. Once on this stage you will see a list of most items in the game. Certain items have numbers next to them, this represents the amount of that type of item you get or the amount of ammo in a weapon. Similar to traits you may only have 8 on one character.
For my farmer I chose:

This left me with 20/20 points spent. That's it for this guide. Go out and mess around in the Slums with your new character.
