Persona Creation

How to make your very own character!

Did you come here from another world or did you find yourself here with a memory lost to the restart? What are your motivations and interests? Who do you want to become?

Your story is yours to tell or if you wish to leave the past behind, you are free to make yourself anew and travel to a new world.

Do you seek safety? A chosen family? Or do you desire to become a hero on an epic journey of self-discovery and adventure. However you wish to recreate yourself, you’ll always start here.

1st

Choose your Family Courts to determine your looks and physical Abilities. Your Persona can be human-like or not - it is up to you. They can also have multiple forms that are mixtures of your Family Courts. Here at Yazzvai, we are all about creative freedom. Your family does not have to look like you, because each life chooses their form based on their desires for their life. Cultures are based on location and community.

2nd

Choose your Life Path. Who do you want to be? What is your desire for your life? Choosing your Life Path will give you special bonuses, items and gifts as well as a choice of Skills. Create your Persona’s Path and mold them into the being you wish. You can also create your own Life Path using our template.

3rd

Choose your Aemai & Focus. What magics do you desire to wield? What colors light up your Heart and Eyes? Your Aemai is the types of magics you wield and your Focus is how you wield them. Will your Focus also be a Skill you chose from your Life Path so you can layer your magical strength?

4th

Assign your Aspect Dice. There are four Aspects of Self: Heart, Soul, Mind, Body. Assign the pool of dice to each one according to where you want your strengths to lie most. Do you want your Aemai and relational actions to be strongest? Then, assign the D20. Are you okay with having a weaker Body? Then, assign the D8.

5th

Be gifted your choice of gear from the shops within Shumairae, or work with them to create your own masterpieces. (coming soon…)

6th

Create your companion(s). Work side by side with a companion through all your journeys. Follow the same steps you did to create your own Persona to create your companion. Companions are forever partners in life, similar to familiars. They live as long as you do, connecting through an eternal promise, a sacred oath, made to each other.

Join a Quest, and you are ready to play!
