This page is intended for '''players''' looking to create a '''Player Character (PC)'''.
For all of the reasons cited above, party sizes over 4 are not recommended at all, out of practicality concerns.
= The Character concept =
When thinking about creating a character you intend to play as, it helps to already have an idea of what that character will be like. Their appearance, their personality, their likes and dislikes, fighting style, background... All of these details are things you can think about to help you find out who you wish to play as.
As explained in the previous ''Getting started'' pages, MazeWorld is combat-centered, so it lends itself more easily to characters that would have combat experience or weapon knowledge of some kind, and though it is entirely possible to play pacifists or weapon-shy characters, it is considered to be much harder than not, as you may need to spend time and resources during your sessions to improve your combat skills, and you may need to work with an accomodating GM to build a campaign that can be played by characters with little to no combat experience.
The sections that follow will give you pointers on how to build and adapt your initial idea ideas into a proper character, and how to go from having an idea to being ready to play.
= Where did he come from, where does he goNative or otherworlder? =
Your character may be native to the Mazes, or may be what the locals call an ''otherworlder''; a non-native of the Mazes who found themselves transported to the Mazes through means unknown. Otherworlders are uncommon, but not unheard of, and generally appear in the confines of the Uncivilized Area. Generally, they appear without any belongings, clothing or equipment, and as a result, end up killed as they were defenseless to the dangers of the UA. Those that survive may eke a living out like any other native, finding shelter and employment in one of the dozens of towns and communities of the Mazes, virtually impossible to distinguish from Mazes-born people.
=== Squamata halflings ===
Squamata halflings (''Homo sapiens ex squamata'') are known for their "snake eyes", their lack of visible ears, a long snake- or lizard-like tail, and the almost complete absence of hair, save for the head - which takes longer to grow than in average humans. The bodies of squamata halflings are famous for developing soft scales instead of bodily hair, though they are largely useless for protection; they are not hard or thick enough to block much more than light scratches. This, in conjunction to having, on average, a less well-developed muscular structure than humans, contributes to their low pain tolerance relative weakness - they are simply not capable ot taking as much damage as regular humans. What they do possess in turn, are long, thin, foldable upper fangs, as well as venom sacs. When these fangs are deployed and used to bite something, an involuntary reflex causes them to release a bit of that venom - resulting in the so-called "snakebite" attack. Perhaps ironically, however, Squamata halflings do not have poison resistance, not even to their own poison; as such their snakebite attack is used to kill or hurt opponents rather than for hunting and subsistence. Squamata halflings have a strong preference for meat, and because of the particularities regarding their hair, a squamata halfling with long hair is often seen as a synonym of age and wisdom. They are often stereotyped as intelligent and cunning, but also deceitful and manipulative.
