Character Creation

Residents of the Mire come in all kinds. Taking inspiration from Brian Jacques's Redwall, all characters within are anthropomorphized animals with their own free will, place in society, and belief (or disbelief) in religions. Most of them can be sorted into categories, as you will see below.

In Miredawn, all characters must have their own creed, which you can read about on their respective page. There is an element of randomization to character creation here; you can either pick your creed, or pick your species category. The one you do not choose will be randomly dice-rolled for you and assigned to your character. We encourage you to make the most of your combination and try playing tropes or characters you're not used to. If you want a guaranteed species + creed combination, it is suggested you pick the species category you want and then change your character's randomized creed with the provided prompt.

Upon your first character's acceptance, members are granted an extra two free slots for a total of three (3) starting characters. However we do suggest you only focus on one at a time if you intended to heavily take part in the roleplay aspect of the game.
