Character Creation Guide

Character Creation Guide!

So you're ready to join our world? That's great! We're so excited to have you in the community! The character creation guide is where we're going to walk you through step by step to getting on your way with creating your character and submitting to our group! If you are still confused about ANYTHING after reading through this guide, please don't hesitate to contact one of us for some help!

1.

SELECT YOUR FACTION

What you want to do is you want to pop right on over to THE FACTIONS tab and begin your reading there! World Of Terra is A TON of reading, but with this handy guide we think we'll be able to help you narrow down to what it is you want to be reading first! When you get to a Faction that might interest you, there will be the history of that Faction available for you to read so you can understand the history behind the beginnings, past events, and current events and culture of that Faction you're placing your character into.

The Divine Faction

The Mage Faction

The Knight Order Faction

The Healers Faction

The Spiritualists Faction

The Commoner Faction

The Elven & Clan Faction

The Seekers Faction

Now that you've picked which Faction you'd like your character to be in it's time to pick a job from that Faction your character can do. You will note that each Faction may call them something different like a Profession, Job, Specialty, Position, Title etc. These all mean the same things! This is what your character will be doing with themselves, will they be a Trader if they're a Commoner? Perhaps you want your character to be a working Noble, and the Royal Council sounds like a good fit for them.

2.

Pick Your Character's Nation

It's time to pick where you'd like your character to live! World of Terra has a variety of places that are vastly different from each other where your character can live. Think you might want to be in a tropical paradise all of the time? Consider The Coven! Maybe a whole different world within a world sounds like it might peak your interest? Check out the Orabellan Tribe's ground where bioluminescent life thrives in the night and the oceans glow! Want a little more stricter life? Head on over to WhiteStone a Kingdom ruled with an iron fist! But it's harsh rules do not stop the daily chaos inside those walls.. Each different Nation has their own personal history that might correlate with things you have read about your Faction in the Factions tab and will also play a part in the other kinds of equine your character may or may not associate with if the Nation you're living in has beef with a different Nation.

3.

Pick Your Character's Species

The group offers 4 different species that you may pick from for your character. Each species has their own pluses and minuses about them for as much as a diverse world as possible so choose wisely! Once you've chosen your specific species it cannot be undone! A certain species allows for some creative outside of the box thinking, perhaps your character did not ask for the species they were born as and because they may be Adameic for instance, and wants nothing to do with the likes of Adam unlike his/her parents, they would rather have been born a different species like Elven or Creatio and lets say... Tries to hide it? There are so many different scenarios we're sure our members will bring to the table with their character's and we're excited to see them!

The Creatio were the first species created in Terra by the Goddess Epona herself, then along came Common Equine, equines created simply to be ruled by the Gods and Goddesses during their reigning years, the Elven mysteriously came to the world by unknown means.. And then there's the Adameic the land knows and fears with a twisted and sad history. What will you choose? Visit the Species tab and read through each species page before you make your choice! Each page has their history, beliefs, and everything else you would need to know about the species!

Basic Creation Rules

Your starter character cannot be Celestic species, unless you have a starter slot!
Your character may only be Adameic, Elven, Celestic, Creatio, or a mix of any of those species, the Pegasus, and Unicorn are not open to members yet. We are aware that the Kirin, Sleipnir, and Hippocampus exist, but at this time they do not exist in our world as playable characters.
You cannot start the game with more than one character, you will be able to have another character after you character has reached level 3. Every 3 levels you can keep creating a new character, there is no limit to how many characters you can have but please try to have a new character in a different Faction each time you make one!
All characters on Terra do not have to be naturally colored you want those blue zebra stripes and leopard spots on your character? You go right ahead! You are also allowed to have any colored eyes you would like plus bi colored eyes is allowed. This does not include Elven.
Your character can be based off of any real horse breed today or a mixture! Any character will fly with us if it’s a Zebra, a Mule, Donkey, anything equine related you can make it!
We offer a human! cannon world when RPing and creating art as well. You do not have to have your character available for human RP you never have to do it at all if you don’t want to, just make sure you let other members know!
Joe Shmo and Sally Rottens characters are not allowed. Please be sure that you’re putting time and effort into creating your characters background details and personality! Also try to make sure you have negative and positive traits about them. No one is too good or too bad!
If you plan on your character being Elven, your character must have an Elf name. Elven can only be created with coats such as white, black, grey, brown, chestnut, shades of blue, shades of green, roans and duns. Manes and tails can be any color you’d like it to be.
