Character Creation (Eldrahn Online)

The following outlines the unified process for bringing both native Eldrahnians and Outlander arrivals into *The System* via the Etheric Matrix. It details step-by-step allocation of Attributes, Skills, Titles, and Classes from first concept through Level 0 (natives) or Arrival Level 1–5 (Outlanders).

1. Character Lineages

Native Eldrahnians

 – Born within the Conjuring Cycle; begin at Level 0 with full point-buy pools.

Outlanders

 – Breach into Eldrahn from other realms; arrive at a predetermined Level 1–5 package based on their prior experience.

2. Creation Steps

2.1 Native Eldrahnian (Level 0)

Allocate **25 points** among six Mortal Attributes.
Allocate **10 points** among six Etheric Attributes.
Spend **15 Skill ranks** under any Mortal or Etheric Attributes.
Record **3 empty Title slots**.
Choose a **Name**, **Homeland**, and brief **Background**.
At **Level 1**, select your **Class** to gain +1 Title slot and Class features.

2.2 Outlander Arrival (Level 1–5)

The System assigns an **Arrival Level N** (1 ≤ N ≤ 5).
Grant the **base package** (25 Mortal, 10 Etheric, 15 Skills, 3 slots) + **5×(N–1) Matrix Points**, all **pre-spent** by Background.
Record **2 base Title slots** (–1 slot vs. natives) plus Class slot at Level 1; +1 more at Level 5 milestone.
At **Level 1**, choose an **Origin Class** (e.g. Aeromancer, Arcane Tinkerer) to gain +1 Title slot and its level-1 features.
From **Level 2+**, advance like a native (see § 4).

3. Allocation Details

3.1 Mortal Attributes (0–10)

Brawn, Agility, Vigor, Lore, Will, Presence — total **25** points at Level 0.

3.2 Etheric Attributes (0–10)

Awareness, Flux, Conduction, Resonance, Communion, Equilibrium — total **10** points at Level 0.

3.3 Skills

Each Skill ranks under one parent Attribute.

Cost: 1 Attribute point → 1 Skill rank.
Natives: start with **15 ranks**.
Outlanders: base 15 + pre-spent Matrix Points into Skills.

3.4 Titles & Title Slots

Base Slots: 3 (Natives) or 2 (Outlanders) at creation.
Class Slot: +1 at Level 1.
Milestone Slots: +1 at Levels 5, 9, 13…
Bound Titles: Occupy a slot until Conditions are met.
Non-Bound Titles: Grant a passive bonus and one **Etheric Boon** per downtime.

4. Post-Creation Progression

From Level 1 onward (Outlanders already at ≥1; natives begin advancing at 1):

Gain 5 Matrix Points per level to spend on:

 – +1 Mortal Attribute (cap 10)  
 – +1 Etheric Attribute (cap 10)  
 – +1 Skill rank

Unlock +1 Title slot at milestone levels (5, 9, 13…).
Choose new Class features or multiclass after Level 2.
Outlanders and natives share identical mechanics for checks, Muddy Skills, and Ether Burn.
