STEP ONE: CHOOSE YOUR ANCESTRY
If you can phys rep it, you can play it. The world that we are playing in allows for any fantastical race you wish to play with very few caveats.
Your Ancestry Is Not Unique - Your ancestry cannot be the Only Version of that type in the world. Should you wish to play an Orc, you have full reign on what the Orcs are like from your slice of the world, but that doesn’t determine what all Orcs in the world are. You can believe all Orcs came from a Giant Crystal in the sky, but that may not be a universal truth for all Orcs. For creatures that are not an Ancestry but rather a creation (such as Liches, Vampires, Werewolves etc) these require approval from the Game Team to play.
You Are Not Alone - You should not try to be the Last of your Kind or similar, or any theme that could restrict other players from choosing the same race. You can be the Last of your Kind that you are aware of, and it can be exciting to finally meet someone like you from a different part of the world.
Low Tech, High Fantasy - We would prefer to keep things fantastical for this setting and edge away from Robots, Aliens, or similar vibes.
Do Not Assume Your Legendary Attribute! - It’s easy to plan ahead and assume that just because you’ve chosen a certain fantasy race, you’ll receive a certain kind of Legendary Attribute to go with it. However, this is not the case, as we are trying to create a system where all Legendary Attributes are unique. For example, in the case of werecreatures-type characters, it is more likely that we will re-flavour these choices so we have a lot of people with the ability to transform into beasts at will (akin to ‘shifters’), and only one person will have ‘the were curse’ where they cannot control their transformation under specific conditions. With that in mind, please write your character and background around the personality and history of the character rather than the skills they possess, unless you are willing to potentially re-write after receiving your Legendary Attribute.
