Character Creation Guide

This page is where you'll find all the needed information to create a usable character for Royal Divinity. Each player is allowed up to 5 Main Characters and 5 NPCs. You may only create another Main Character if your previous one has reached level 40 and has completed at least 5 Rift Summons. NPCs may be of any race/gender/etc. however they may only be up to level 50. If the NPC is expected to be used frequently in combat for story purpose, please put in stats for the character. If the NPC is not expected to be used frequently in combat for story purpose, you do not need to put in any stats.

Step One: Choosing a Race
Some characters are considered Full-Breed and some are considered Half-Breed.

Full-Breed characters are not as diverse as a Half-Breed character may be, but they gain special bonuses that half-breeds do not get.

Half-Breed characters are more diverse than a Full-Breed character, gaining abilities from 2 races rather than 1. They also have access to any transformations that the parent races do, with the exception of any Full-Breed specific transformations. You may only create a Half-Breed by way of Child Characters.

Child Characters
Characters may have child characters at any time, as long as they follow of the below mentioned processes. Please note that any Child Character that is created will count towards your Main Character total.
 * Wedding Ring: If two characters of the opposite gender both possess a Wedding Ring, available from the Shop Terminal, they are able to create a child character, if they so choose. The child character will be a Half-Breed of the two parent races, and will inherit 1 Active and 1 Passive ability from the parents. The parents get to choose the child's abilities, as well as its RP characteristics. Once created, the parents must decide if it will be controlled by one of the two parent players, or if they will both have control over the child character. If both parent players have control over the child character, the child will be controlled each week by a different parent.
 * Adoption Form: If a character wishes to adopt a child, they can purchase an Adoption Form from the Shop Terminal. The parent(s) will then be allowed to adopt a child of any breed they want; however, if they choose to adopt a Half-Breed, then the adopted character's secondary race will be chosen at random. Adopted children have randomized Secondary Race and Abilities.

Legendary Characters
Once your character has been successfully created, contact an administrator and you will have a chance to be a Legendary Character.

Legendary Characters possess extra powers that must be obtained through a specific type of Rift Summon after gaining the right to attempt it. They normally come with one unique item and unique stat boost, depending and differing from each race. You have a 1 in 15 chance of earning a Legendary Character. Using https://www.random.org/integers/ an Administrator will randomize a number between 1 and 15, and should the number equal 1, your character will become a Legendary Character.
