Players may have up to three active characters at any one time.
 
Each character is treated as an entirely separate individual within the world.
 
Characters do not share:
 
* Experience
* Reputation
* Coin
* Items
* Treasures
* Story Progression
 
<div class="wizlords-collapsible-section-subheading">Creating Additional Characters</div>
When creating a second or third character, that character begins as a brand new resident of Tanyth.
 
New characters start with:
 
* 0 Experience
* 0 Reputation
* 0 Coin
* No Items or Treasures
 
Your existing characters retain all of their own progression separately.

<div class="wizlords-collapsible-section-subheading">Choosing a Character to Play</div>
 
Before each game session, players must nominate which of their characters they will be playing.
 
Only one character may be played during a game session.
 
For full-day events, weekend events, campaigns, and other long-form adventures, players must select a single character for the entire duration of the event.
 
<div class="wizlords-collapsible-section-divider"></div>
 
<div class="wizlords-collapsible-section-subheading">Character Retirement and Consolidation</div>
 
Players may retire or delete characters that they no longer wish to play.
 
Once every six months, players may request a character consolidation.
 
During consolidation, one character is selected to receive the Experience earned by another retired character.
 
<div class="wizlords-collapsible-section-subsubheading">What Transfers?</div>
The following transfers to the chosen character:
 
* Experience
 
<div class="wizlords-collapsible-section-subsubheading">What Is Lost?</div>
The following are not transferred during consolidation:
 
* Reputation
* Coin
* Items
* Treasures
* Story Rewards
 
These are lost when the character is retired.
 
This system allows players to experiment with different character concepts while ensuring progression remains meaningful and manageable.

All newly created characters begin as Mercenaries of Tanyth.
All newly created characters begin as a mercenary of Tanyth.


Being a Mercenary is not a class or faction. It simply means your character is an independent adventurer seeking their place within the city. Characters may remain Mercenaries for as long as they wish and are not required to join a Company.

If you have already been invited before creating your character, you may indicate which Company you intend to join on your character creation form. Otherwise, your character begins as a Mercenary and may join a Company later if invited.
