Part 89: Creating the Avatar and molding its stats

Creating your Avatar

After selecting your difficulty and game mode, the game introduces the ability to create an Avatar. This character's death will result in a game over, but luckily our custom character comes with great advantages that will be explained in the next chapter.



The first choice is deciding the gender. Besides having different appearance options, gender heavily affects how different support conversations are (and spouse options way down the line).



The Avatar has 5 build options with each option having 5 different choices themselves (Hair has 20 so anything short of multi-color is covered), ranging from normal to bandaged to an eyepatch.

Voices are related to what builds they are, so if you wanted a small guy with a very deep voice...well there you go.

To prevent a long and confusing voting system, I'll show 6 builds of Default, aesthetic, and wacky that you can vote on at the end of this update.

Female from left to right (Normal, Young, Older)




Male from left to right (Normal, Young, Older)






Next comes naming your Avatar. There's a 9 letter limit. We'll be sticking with the default Robin.



Birthday is only for getting random items on that date. Not much use otherwise for the game.

Asset/Flaw determines how your Avatar grows better in and how much that stat increases/decreases that stat cap. In short, whether a character is strong in Magic, Physical, or a tank starts here. Here's a chart that shows choosing a stat as an Asset or a Flaw:



The numbers in black show which horizontal stats increase when choosing one of the vertical stats as an asset/flaw. For example, an Asset HP gives +1 Str/Mag and +2 Lck/Def/Res to your cap. The growth of this Avatar will be slightly stronger in attacks while being more lucky and tanky. Here's a picture to explain:



It will result in our Avatar having less attack power, but more Skill and much more Speed. This LP will use +Magic -Def to augment our long-range magic attacks while still giving us a good boost in Speed. The lack of defense won't be a problem.

So here's where you vote. You can choose the gender, body type, hair color, and style. So the examples of a vote is:

Older Female, light red hair, default
Normal Male, dark green hair, aesthetic
Older Male, purple hair, wacky

Each vote counts as a category, so potentially the thread can make a monster (But isn't that half the fun?) Voting will end in about two days or so.
