Character Creation Guide

The following caps are in effect per player:
One character born with The Vice*
One character from off-island**

When creating a character, the best approach is to read the available lore and think about what slot(s) you might like to fill on the list of jobs. Ideally, every played character in the setting has a job and/or a reason for being here-- the town’s resources are simply too scant to allow for too many wanderers and layabouts.

If you’re unsure of your availability or are self-professed Known To Be Slow, you may want to consider playing a farmer, traveling merchant, or someone else who might feasibly be outside the town walls if/when events occur that you might miss. Not a requirement, just a suggestion!

If you really want to play but are low on ideas, or if you have an idea but aren’t sure, hit us up and we can help you think of something! Making each character an inextricable part of the game’s story and atmosphere is part of the fun.

If you make someone over 40 who’s been here their whole life or most of it, we have some extra details for you!

If you're ready to jump in, head on over here!

*The Vice is a naturally-occurring trait that, if not carefully suppressed, can lead to usage of magic and therefore heresy. Demonstrating one’s Vice is a crime punishable by anything from temporary imprisonment to public execution.
People known to practice it are known as the Profane, and they don’t tend to last very long once their status is known.

**The vast majority of Northcliff Pass’ citizens are from the region, and it would be great if this is reflected in player demographics; basically, try to be from somewhere on the island, if not from Cliffside/Northcliff Pass itself.
Pilgrims and merchants can be exceptions to this trend, but the latter would need good reasons for coming here to stay.
Information on the rest of the island can be found here.
