Character Creator Guide

Using this guide, you should have no trouble creating a dynamic character that exists within the world
First choose a Race from Playable Races, and if you decide to play a human character choose an ethnicity from Human Ethnicities of Fodlan
Next choose where your character is from. Nation Guide. The main nations of the campaign will be Faerghus, Adrestia, and the Leicester Alliance. There may be opportunities to interact with the other nations, but they will not be the focal point.
Finally choose a class using Playable Classes If you have an idea for a character that isn't on this list. Just talk to me and we can probably work something out.
Once all that is done choose a background from the any of the D&D Sourcebooks.
Remember to fill in your Personality Traits, Bonds, Flaws, and Ideals.

Determining Alignment:

Remember your actions define your alignment not the other way around. The questions below will help educate you on what alignment fits best.

• How do your character feel about the general rules and formalities of society.
• Is your character intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated?
• Finally do their motivations stem primarily from a need to help themselves or help others?

Backstory

For backstory I would prefer one paragraph to two pages of backstory. The more you write the more I can incorporate into the world. I have a general outline for the world, so let me know if you need more guidance and we can set something up.

Consider the following

• What was life growing up?
• Who are your parents and siblings?
• Any important relationships from your past? Friends, Foes, lovers?
• What does your character want out of life? To survive? To make a change? To amass power and wealth?
• Did a life of adventure come to them or did they go to it?

Campaign Beginning

At the start of the adventure the party will meet in pursuit of a mythical wish. What happened in your characters life that makes them want this wish? If they had a wish, what would they do with it?

More Important Questions:

How does your character feel about the Church of Seiros, the only major religion and one of the most powerful political forces in Fódlan?
How does your character feel about each of the major nations(The Empire, Kingdom, and Alliance)?
There is a prominent hierachy based on lineage and crest in Fódlan, does your character subscribe to the belief that crest-bearers are important?
