The Winter's Oasis Wiki

To create a character, you can use the 'request' command when connected as a guest to get your character. Enter the Out of Character Nexus with 'nexus' and go into the the Character Generation room. Then type '+chargen' to begin the process. The information on this page should give you an overview of what you need to know to design your character.

The Grand Castrum of Loka, the center of the game's civilization, is home to a massive library filled with ancient books and multimedia materials about the world the way it was before the Cataclysm. Therefore, potential parents have access to a treasure trove of suitable names for their children, many of them from old stories and tales. However, the naming convention tends to hinge on proximity to urban centers. The closer to urban civilization a family is, the more likely they are to utilize names found in historical texts, such as "Tom" or "Charles" or "David". In outlying areas where the Pasu-Abhasa tend to speak in regional and tribal languages, even human children are labeled with intricate monikers like "Ajna", which means 'thought that is will', or "Bala", which means 'strength'.

Choosing whether your character is Human, Pasu, or one of the more restricted types is going to have a fundamental effect on your character's design. Pasu and Humans have varying degrees of relationships with each other, with the occasional dash of racism found on both sides. How your character interacts with members of its own race and the races of others is important to who they are. You can read more about the types of races available on the Races page.

While we don't expect players to have fully fleshed out everything in their character's history (especially considering Loka is a deep and rich world and many things are being written into the universe by players day by day), we do expect a very basic concept and background for the character. Backgrounds can be as long or terse as you wish, but must contain some idea of what sort of person your character is, and what his goals are (assuming he has some), and where he came from. Assuming your character is not nomadic, you should decide on a place he originated from. Humans will find the major cities to be Helio, Gilead, Muon, Noria, Serendipity, and Acre. Pasu may also find these cities interesting, but should also check their tribes for any explicit declaration of where their tribe is, and check the smaller locations. All information pertaining to this can be found on theWorld Page.
