This guide outlines the official character creation process for Volaire.

----
===== Step 1: Choose a Race =====

Your first step is to choose your character’s race.

A full list of playable races is available later in the rulebook. Some races are **Restricted** or **Limited**, meaning they require approval or are not commonly available.

See:  
[[operations:public:interactive_rulebook:core:races|Races of Volaire]]

----
===== Step 2: Choose a Class =====

Next, select your character’s class. A class determines what kind of skills your character is trained in.

Available classes include:
  * Fighter
  * Rogue
  * BattleMage
  * Mage
  * Ranger (Restricted)
  * Knight (Restricted)

Some classes are marked **Restricted**, meaning they may not be available at character creation and require in-play steps to obtain.

See:  
[[operations:public:interactive_rulebook:core:classes|Classes]]

----
===== Step 3: Spend Your Starting Experience Points =====

New characters start at **Level 5**, with **500 Experience Points** to spend on skills.

The Experience Point cost for each skill depends on your class. You will finalize your character sheet with staff during check-in at your first event.

----
===== Step 4: Meet with Logistics =====

At your first event:
  * You will check in and pay your event fee
  * You will meet with staff to complete your character sheet
  * You will receive skill tags, a spell sheet (if applicable), and any additional materials

You must complete this process before entering play.

----
===== Step 5: Submit a Character History (Optional) =====

Players are encouraged to submit a written character history to help staff integrate your character into the world.

Guidelines:
  * Histories must be submitted by the start of your third event to be considered for plot integration
  * You may not claim to be nobility, undead, or possess a restricted class in your backstory

Staff may reward exceptional backstories with roleplay opportunities or small in-game surprises.

----
===== Additional Notes =====

  * Characters begin at Level 5
  * Restricted classes and races require approval
  * You must be checked in and approved by staff before entering play
