Who Are You, Player?

The character you create will be your avatar in Utopia. This character will follow along the journey you take them, enacting your will down to what steps they take.

Throughout your adventuring career, you will gain Talents that allow you to acquire new capabilities and features. Over your time of playing, you will obtain these via talent trees that grant you access to new abilities, making your character unique in both style and practicality. These talents together affect your character's Body, Mind, and Soul.

Your character will have multiple variables used to assess their overall capabilities. They will have trait scores, which express your character's abilities to do certain tasks. These are further broken down into subtrait scores, which are more refined levels of capability.

Your character will also be one of the many, often humanoid, species that inhabit the world of Utopia. This selection will have the strongest impact on your character, and is difficult to change in the future once decided. Each species has several characteristics that will alter your play: the rate at which your pool of health and stamina scales, small talent trees specific to that species, and some trait and subtrait bonuses. Moreover, each species has a unique heritage that will affect their social status, influence their style of decision making, and produce unique interactions in the way of your campaign's dedicated lore.
