Character Creation Guide

## Races

* SRD races 20 RP or less

Races with an unlisted RP amount need to be requested for review.
Custom races are allowed with a limited amount of slots. They must have a full race block, including at least two racial alternatives. Races must be built for generalized play and not min/maxing.
Half-races are allowed for cosmetic/role-play purpose. Choose the primary race for stats and what your PC qualifies for and then choose a secondary race. Your racial appearance should be noticeably different, but you will not qualify for any feats your secondary race may be allowed to take normally or qualify as the secondary race for magic and supernatural effects.

## **Character Background**

A brief character background must be present on your character sheet describing where they come from, how they grew up, and what led them to become an adventurer if applicable. This is not mandatory during character approval, but is expected to be completed eventually. This background can be further elaborated on a character page located on this wiki to be canon after submitted for approval.

## **Character Slots**

Players are restricted to two PC slots and an NPC slot. The second PC slot unlocks after reaching level 5 or after actively Role-Playing for two weeks. Which ever occurs first.

NPC Slots: Players may create an NPC, but are obligated to use this NPC in the event they are of importance. Players will receive RP points(RPP) for actively participating in the game outside of just their own PCs. NPCs have limited power set by a GM or DM when discussing with the player playing the NPC. The NPC cannot directly benefit players outside of side-quests and storylines.
