Generating the Player Character

To be able to fight Chaos, you will have to create a fictional character, often called the player character (or PC). This character will be chosen from one of the intelligent races of Ancardia, will undergo long and hard hours of training to learn a profession and many skills enhancing his chance to defeat evil and finally save the world.

All these concepts are explained in detail in the sections below.

Specifically the following choices will have to be made to create a new player character (but note that in some easier game modes the game might choose for you in some cases):

Star Sign (see the horoscope of Ancardia)
Gender
Race
Profession
Talents

Additionally various other items will be derived from your choices above:

Attributes
Alignment
Skills
Spells
Initial Equipment
