Creating a New Character
A Non-Member Page

Before creating a new character, be sure to know the character first.

There are two basic ways to create a new character. The first is to create a character for normal game play, and then create your role play around the character's race, class, and alignment. The other is to create a role play history, or personality for your character and then choose your race and class to fit that.

What follow are the traits that make a character:

Gender

It is of course easiest to role play a character of the same gender as you. However, it may be more interesting to create a totally new persona, independant even of your gender. However, be careful if you choose to play the opposite gender, not to overdo it. Observe others and follow their lead.

Please note that WR does not support the gender "neutral" or "it."

My character is

Race

Choose a race for your character. Below is the help race from WR:


+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|     WestLander     Elf      Dwarf   Giant       Quickling   DarkElf    |
|     Eastlander   Vampire    Ogre    Golem        Gnome                 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Note that most races have certain mythologies, history, physical characteristics, languages, or other traits that go with them. Click one each link for the help file and other information on each race. Some links also include name generators, so that your name is fitting to the race you select.
Knowing as much as you can about your race can help you role play your character realistically, and in a way that other people can relate to because they will pick up on your roleplay more easily.

My race is:

My Character's Name and Last Name are:

Class

Next order of business is finding a class that fits your race. Below is help class from WR:


+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|    Wizard       Cleric       Thief      Warrior      Druid             |
|    Ranger       Paladin      Knight     Witch     Necromancer          |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Note that certain races and classes do not mix well. This is because some races have a natural tendancy to use, or distrust, in magic. Some are inherently evil, while some are good. These mismatches can be used if you intend to explain it in a convincing fashion, but make sure that you've thought that through, and possibly consulted with another roleplayer about it, before you attempt it. For a table of classes and races that do or do not mix, click here.

Alignment

Check out this site for a quiz to help you choose an alignment. Remember to answer the questions as your character would, not as you would.

Behavior

For quick and general ideas on character behavior, click here. Choose a large number in the first box, and then "RPG: Dungeons and Dragons" in the second box. Hit generate, and see if you find any of the suggestions interesting. These one line descriptions will not make your character, but they are a great place to start. As you being to rp with other people, your character will develop over time.
Another option, for those who want to create a truly rich character from the start, is to pick out your own traits and habits. To skip this step, click here.

The following checklist is suggestions for personality traits. This means the characteristics of how your character behaves.
Check the boxes by each trait that your character will have. Things that must be specified have a text box which you may fill out. To not have anything in that field, leave it blank.
