FILLER CHARACTER – if you like the setting and want to create a filler (non-essential, not involved in any quests) character, you can submit a background story (who your character is and how he/she fits into the world) and suggested dialogue with the player character. Then we’ll work with you, developing this character further and modifying the dialogues as necessary.
The main goal here is to provide different and believable personal stories and points of view (how your character sees the world, etc) that are consistent with what’s been presented in the demo. In other words, no wacky shit. The world is rich and has room for plenty of different characters if you feel creative – traders, prospectors, farmers, religious fanatics and true believers, veteran soldiers, beggars, raiders, loremasters, minor nobility, refugees fleeing failed settlements, people who did time in the mines, assassins, thieves, etc.
Kind of like talking to the raiders in Fallout. More involved if you feel like it. You’re limited to one conversation (the player character with your character), but you can make it as involved and deep as you please. Feel free to use skill, stat, reputation checks.
To ease some concerns. We aren’t planning to turn the gameworld into a zoo. I will check all submissions myself, veto everything that doesn’t fit, AND work with people to guide and shape their ideas and make them a good fit. These submissions won’t affect the setting, story, quests, but if done right, will enrich the gameworld. Needless to say, we reserve the right to insist on any changes that might be necessary, reject characters, and even refund your donation in some cases..
