Character Creation

Create your character in Onirism: customize appearance, choose an archetype (Warrior, Mage, Rogue), and set starting stats.

Begin your epic adventure in Onirism by crafting your unique character. The character creation system allows you to customize your appearance, choose your starting archetype, and set the foundation for your journey through a world shaped by dreams and nightmares.

The character creation process in Onirism is your first opportunity to define your presence in the game world. It's a crucial step that influences not only your character's appearance but also their initial capabilities and playstyle. The system is designed to be both intuitive for new players and offer enough depth for those seeking specific character concepts.

Appearance Customization: Onirism offers a robust suite of visual customization options. You can typically adjust:

• Body Type: Select from a range of body shapes and sizes.
• Facial Features: Customize the shape of the face, eyes, nose, mouth, and jawline.
• Hair: Choose from several hairstyles, colors, and lengths.
• Skin Tone: Select from a diverse palette of skin colors.
• Markings: Add tattoos, scars, or other unique facial and body markings.

While the focus is on creating a visually distinct character, these options are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay mechanics.

Archetype Selection: This is the most impactful choice during character creation. As detailed in the 'Character Archetypes' section, you will select from the Warrior, Mage, or Rogue. This choice determines your starting stats, your initial set of abilities, and your recommended gear focus. For example, selecting the Warrior will grant you higher Strength and Constitution, along with a basic melee attack and a defensive skill.

Starting Stats: Based on your chosen archetype, your character will begin with a predetermined distribution of core stats such as Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. These stats influence your character's effectiveness in combat, spellcasting, and other in-game mechanics. You will have opportunities to further allocate stat points as you level up.

Naming Your Character: Choose a name that resonates with you and your character's identity. The game may have restrictions on certain names or profanity.

Initial Gear: Upon finalizing character creation, you will be equipped with basic starting gear appropriate to your chosen archetype. This gear is functional but will be quickly outgrown as you progress through the early stages of the game.

Take your time during character creation. While you can respec certain aspects of your build later in the game, your archetype choice is permanent. Consider the playstyle you envision for yourself and select the archetype that best als with it.
