Chapter 2 - Character Creation

(author: from here on out mostly everything will be in the third person.

PS. It might switch back to first so be warned)

As soon as Issac put on the headset his vision turned black. It was like someone flipped as the switch inside his vision and just turned it off. A few seconds later a cut scene appears, it was the same screen as the final one released from Silver Incorporated about the creation of the world, but this time it continued.

"When I created the 81 planes of existence, I made some mistakes and some small galaxies appeared outside of these planes. I call these fractures. Fractures are the only places in the universe where magic cannot work. Earth is one of these many fractures in the universe, but now I have given you the chance to explore these planes of existence with your friends and family. Now go enter LIFE!"

The cutscene ended and the world again went blank and a robotic voice said, "Welcome to LIFE Issac, if you have any family or friends who are also playing life please say their names now."

"Athena and Lance Gray," Issac said

"fantastic, they will be transported into the same character creation realm in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."

A white light spread throughout the realm and instantly Athena and Lance appeared beside Issac. Once they were transported into the realm the voice spoke again.

"Hello, Athena and Lance, welcome to the character creation realm. All three of you will now have an opportunity to make your characters for LIFE. This will be you're only opportunity to make a character for as long as you play LIFE, no restarts, no do-overs, so think carefully. LIFE will start in six hours, I will warn you when you have ten munites left."

After the voice stopped talking a translucent screen appeared in front of them saying

Please choose a

Name

Race

Class

Sub-Class

Attributes

Innate-Talents

Going off the screen they had, Issac, Athena, and Lance began to talk about roles of the game. At the end of the discussion, it was decided that Issac would be a ranged/magic damage dealer, Athena as healer and support, and Lance as the tank. Once these roles were decided they individually started to create their characters.

Issac tapped on the name box of the screen and imputed Kron, named after Kronos from Greek mythology. He then went onto the race category. About a thousand races appeared in front of him ranging from human to ruk-man (a four-armed race) to trolls and skeletons. He instantly sees the filter bar at the top of the selection screen and began to filter the list of races based on magical ability. At the top of the list was Elves, a race praised for their magic ability thought all fantasy settings thought history. As Issac scrolled down the list he saw a rather interesting race, the Idan. the Idan was a tiny race in the planes known for their innate talent with magic and their crafting ability. There are some of the smartest beings in the hole universe but are very quirky. They have the ears of an elve but the high of a dwarf. They looked like a squished down Elves, but their defining characteristic was their eyes and hair. Their hair was always pure white from the birth till death and their eyes were like green emeralds. Issac decided that it was the perfect race for him because it suited what he wanted to do in the game. Technomancy.

After Issac picked his race his race he got to customize its appearance. Issac gave Kron what you would call a handsome face. Issac also made Kron about 4'5" the tallest the Idan can be. Issac then got to pick his class but unlike the race selection, there were only a few options. Mage, Warrior, and crafter. Issac suspected that Mage was any class that related to magic and anyway and Warrior was any class without magic, but Issac also suspected that there were going to be some sort of martial techniques available to the warriors. Crafter was rather self-explanatory, it was anyone who wanted their name focus to be crafting stuff. The subclass had many more options. Issac ended up choosing design engineer for his subclass. This subclass was focused around designing things and then crafting them

After picking his classes Issac was then told to distribute his stat points he got into

Vitality (Vit) - increases your vitality

Strength (Str) - increases your strength

Agility (Agi) - increases your agility

Dexterity (Dex) - increases your dexterity

Wisdom (Wis) - increases your wisdom

Intelligence (Int) - increases your intelligence

Charisma (Cha) - increases your charisma

You have 45 stat points: 20 to assign anywhere, 10 to assign to Agi, Dec, Wis, or Int (from race), 10 to assign to Dex, Wis, or Int (from class), 5 to assign to Dex or Wis (from sub-class).

Each attribute starts at 5, the regular for a normal 18-year-old.

Issac ended up with stats like this:

Vit 7

Str 5

Agi 10

Dex 14

Wis 20

Int 18

Cha 6

Issac figured out that with the stat options that his race, class, and sub-class gave him it was a smart idea to go for a stat distribution based on the values they gave as bonuses. Issac added some to Cha and Vit because having people like you and not dying were both good ideas.

After Issac finished his past selections his screen disappeared except for innate talents. A list popped up saying, "Issac Gray, based on your intellect in the real world and accomplishments there you have been giving the innate ability to see magic. With your discovery of the fourth dimension in the real world, LIFE has given you this ability to help you in your journey. Now time is almost up!"

After Issac read the message he was stunned. He never gave out the information that gravity was the fourth dimension just the equations that he created to quantify he, but Issac had other things to worry about.

At about the same time both Athena and Lance were done with the character creation.

Athena chose the race Pari, a race known for their healing ability and their link to the life element. She named herself Iaso. Like Issac, she chose the Mage class, but for her subclass she chose, magical healer, solidifying her role as the healer of the party. She also got the innate ability of healing sense, giving her the ability to sense what is wrong with someone and the best way to heal them.

Lance chose the Logam race, the Logam race is a race of metal people, their characteristics are based on the type of metal they are made of, Lance chose to be made of Quicksilver, giving him bost speed and defense. He named himself, Kin. He chose warrior for his class and blacksmith for his subclass. He chose warrior for his class and blacksmith for his subclass. Lance was given the innate ablility of split body. Lance could split his body and run them at the same time.

After they all shared their charecter selections the time ran out and it was time to start LIFE.
