MEDIEVAL Character Creation Rules



Character creation is simple and story-driven. You're not building stats — you're creating someone who can act, struggle, and grow in the world.

Below is the 3 prime races in the world of MEDIEVAL, others exist but they are often veiled in legend and are extremely rare if not extinct already. This world is a human's world, so be wary of what you create as they may be persecuted or even hunted until they are destroyed. Certain imported characters of unique or contradicting race may require staff approval if they do not fit with the setting of MEDIEVAL, this isn't your high fantasy LotR adventure after all.

🔹 Core Rules
  • Your character is not all powerful, nor are you the King of the World or a Living God.
  • Your character cannot control other characters, this includes auto-hitting and godmodding their surroundings.
  • Do not portray child sexualisation (under the age of 18). Violators will be banned and reported.
  • Define strengths and weaknesses (must be equal)
  • Start small, your character cannot start as a ruler of a vast kingdom unless you are a major faction owner.
  • Equipment should be reasonable to your background
  • Aether exposure is optional
  • Make a Character Account!: It's a cruel medieval world out there, you'll need a character of your own to experience its wonders and its terrors on your own or with a friend. The account you've created upon joining the site is your WRITER account, essentially your main hub for your characters. This can be used as a character account if you like but if you want to make more, we suggest creating SUBACCOUNTS.
👉 Progress comes from completed threads and story, not grinding.
  • Write in a way others can respond to.
  • Focus on telling a good story, not winning.

🔥 Final Note
You are not starting at your peak.

You are starting at the moment your story becomes worth telling.

You can be anything from a peasant to a powerful lord of your own land, or find your place in one of our many FACTIONS. Don't feel pressured to get all political, the world is a big place and there are many roles that can fill the bucket. From mercenary to barkeep, whatever fills your muse, embrace it! Simply copy the template, feel free to modify it for more if you'd like, and create a character thread! Once you've created your character, you are good to go, there is no wait lines or approval process. As long as you abide by the creation rules you can hop right into the action and begin writing.

(Optional) Religions of Medieval



These are optional background religions that are canonical to our world, you are welcome to submit your own religion, cult, or creed inside the Annals for reviewal and approval. Or, if you opt out entirely, you are welcome to write a character without any inclusion of religion.
