Character creation in Kenshi is more about aesthetics and starting conditions than traditional RPG classes. Your initial race choice (Human, Shek, Scorchlander, Hive) affects starting stats and resistances. The 'Wanderer' start is the most common and balanced, offering a single character with basic gear. Other starts provide different challenges and advantages, such as a small squad or unique equipment. Consider your playstyle: do you want to be a lone wolf, a trader, or build a settlement?
