Welcome to Character Creation!

The first step of getting started on New Dawn is to create a character to play! Here we'll go through the steps to make it as simple as possible.

Firstly, lets decide on a Heritage to get started!

Click on the button to get to the available races we offer.

Heritages

Your heritage is the foundation of your character, they decide your appearance and Heritage Trait.

In New Dawn, everything takes place within the Ulrisin Empire, meaning that your heritage doesn't dictate the culture you follow. So while each heritage features cultures which they may primarily follow, you are free to customize your origins!

Still, you must have your character be from the Ulrisin Empire. This is where our story takes place! You're part of it!

Traits

Traits are features of your character that give them mechanical abilities. For example, if you want to play a bookworm-Esq character, you can take the Educated trait! If your character is large and bulky, you may emphasize that with the Strong trait.

You can start with at least 2 unique traits from the trait list. Humans start with 3. This is because every race other than human gets a special Heritage Trait that gives them unique abilities.

Appearances

In New Dawn, we always want to encourage creativity and ideas when it comes to your characters. Most races have a large bounding box on what you can do with your character. Have fun with it! If an appearance doesn't match with the description of the race, the Admin team will work with you to find a compromise.

There is still a limit to what you can and can't realistically do. But we know that Minecraft as a medium tends to not be the most inclusive of details when it comes to your skins! That's why we have the mod More Player Models required to play on the server.

More Player Models lets you add larger skins than 64x64, giving players the avenue for more detailed skins and models. It also allows you to add a variety of 3D features to your skin. Currently, we do not formally support Figura, this may change.

To download the 1.19.4 version of MPM, you can find it Here! There's also a highly recommended addon pack Here.

Character Growth

In the TinyD6 system, character growth is not dictated by levels, but rather milestones that are hit by gaining exp.

6 Experience = a permanent increase to your HP of 1
8 Experience = a new Proficiency or Mastered Weapon
10 Experience = 1st new Trait
Every new trait after 1st = +5 (You'll need 15, 20, 25, etc)

You can have a total of 8 traits, including your Heritage trait.

Backstory

One of the most important founding features of your character is your backstory! It's where they come from and where they've been. To make your backstory, you must learn about the most recent history of the Empire! Or, well, what's left of it. You can read all about it here:

The Empire

The whitelist application requires at LEAST 2 paragraphs to be accepted into the server. If you need help with your backstory, you can reach out to staff on the Discord Server! You can also look at our In-Depth Lore forums on the discord to get a better idea of history in the world.

There are also tons of other features of our world that you can read and learn about like the planes of existence that surround our realm, and the gods that inhabit them! For more information or if you are ever confused about things, you can ask questions in the Help Chat in Discord as well.
