Welcome to the Novymirn character creator V1!
Please take your time to read everything and think through your character, there is no rush!
At the end you will have to copy the format for your character and paste it in a doc for saving as it wont do so online!
[[Pick your origin]]
In the world of Novymirn there are two main origins you can pick from:
Click on the origin name to select!
(link: "(text-colour:green)[''Zvernarod'']")[
(set: $origin to "zvernarod")
(goto: "Zvernarod1")
]
The Zvernarod is the name given to all local beast-folk in the world of Novymirn, they are anthro/human animals.
They each have species-dependant abilities, sizes, shapes and traits aswell as a natural affinity towards the use of catalyzers (Magic) in most cases.
(link: "(text-colour:red)[''Soviet'']")[
(set: $origin to "soviet")
(goto: "Soviet1")
]
The Soviets or KSEV are the invaders of Novymirn, although their presence is no longer what it used to be, there is still plenty as conflict is on the daily, but now mainly only defensive of their lands.
The Soviet origin is for normal humans, but they have access to powerful military equipment, though still are mainly glass cannons.
[[Soviet1]]
[[Zvernarod1]](text-colour:red)[Privyet Comrade!]
//Before you lock in your decision with the Soviets, let me tell you some more about them, you can always go back with the arrow on the top left.//
In summary, the KSEV stands for "Committee of Soviet Expeditionary Forces" as they were formed with the sudden mysterious appearence of a portal in siberia during the 1980, at which time the Soviet Union and the cold war was at its full swing. The military was poured in to conquer the new lands, be it for communism or for their resources, they captured vast lands and set up countless infrastructure in Novymirn as their supplies and reinforcements from the motherland were practically endless.
Until early 90s, the portal suddenly closes and cuts all connection with the KSEV and the rest of the Soviet Union, and in the following 10 years they experience overwhelming defeats that make them retreat to their capital-fortress, where they have now taken a defensive stance and no longer have the capability or need to expand, yet the Zvernarod or locals, arent still happy with their presence yet also lack the capability to wipe their last stronghold, so at the current time there is a cold war between the two, neither of them are very keen to one another.
If you'd still like to be a Soviet, you can now continue to with your character;
[[Pick your Soviet Origin]]
The Zvernarod are a very diverse cast of folk, each have their own ways of living, abilities and interactions, so lets begin by selecting which Zvernarod animal your character is based off;
Mind you, this are the main premade species available, custom ones are available but must follow the same structures.
(link: "(text-colour:green)[''Ashlight'']")[
(set: $zspecies to "ashlight")
(goto: "zclass")
]
<img src="test/test.png">
The ashlights are badge-skunk species of subterranean predators that have a strong scale-underskin, they have a chlorine toxic bite and can poop out lightpods to illuminate caves and are a main source of light there, though given their complicated biology, they tend to be volatile if killed in certain ways.
Character height for this species is around 1.5 meters tall, relatively short.
(link: "(text-colour:green)[''Bonewolf'']")[
(set: $zspecies to "bonewolf")
(goto: "zclass")
]
The bonewolfs are hyena-lizard species of predators with thick fur coats and strong teeth and a acidic saliva, that allows them to dissolve bones into a paste that they can then use to create armor on their body or small items.
Character height for this species depends on gender, males being around 1.7 meters tall and females being 2 to 3 meters tall.
[[zclass]]
(link: "(text-colour:red)[''KSEV Soldier'']")[
(set: $sorigin to "soldier")
(goto: "Soldier1")
]
The KSEV soldier is the main cog in the large remant war machine, from menial tasks like patroling the streets to going deep into Novymirn territory to retrieve components, with various military roles and equipments to pick from.
(link: "(text-colour:red)[''KSEV Civilian'']")[
(set: $sorigin to "civilian")
(goto: "Civilian1")
]
The KSEV civilian, living either in the capital or the surroundings working for the survival effort of your whole kind. Miscellaneous assortment of equipment, mainly tools and access to some weapons.
(link: "(text-colour:red)[''Deserter'']")[
(set: $sorigin to "deserter")
(goto: "Deserter1")
]
The deserter, someone that for whatever reason has left their comrades behind and moved on to live somewhere in Novymirn, could had been either soldier or civilian, be it alone or with a small group of other deserters, struggling their way of survival in this inhospitable world. Mix between military equipment and civilian.

Great comrade, so you have decided to become $ssrole, so how about you think of a name and story for your character. For example you could have been born back in the Soviet Union and crossed the portal (mind you that was 20 years ago!) or were born already in Novymirn in the KSEV capital, up to you! If you need any help, feel free to message me.

Now copy paste this into notepad, word or any other to save it!So lets explain some more about said Zvernarod... people.
In summary, zvernarod are the result of genetic evolution that has been, quite literally, corrupted with human dna, meaning that it took a Tvari (feral animal) of Novymirn and evolved them into anthro-humanoids that resemblence them. There is a broad range of zvernarod that go from the most contaminated, akin to a regular human but with ears and tail, to the least contaminated, fur skin, snouts, paws, etc, more beast like, and the latter retain the most characteristics including abilities of the tvari.
Given the zvernarod are the natives of Novymirn, they have a easier time and affinity towards using catalyzers (magic), though it is considered taboo and against zvernarod kin to use soviet weapons, yet they still have the capabilities to forge and blacksmith impressive equipment.
[[Continue->Zvernarod2]] Now that you have selected $zpecies as yor species, now we need to determine which Zvernarod class is your character.
This is basically if your character physiology/biology leans more to being a human or a tvari (feral animal), as explained before, the more contaminated the more human the least contaminated the more animal.
(link: "(text-colour:green)[''Class 1'']")[
(set: $zclass to "class 1")
(goto: "zdescription")
]
- Mostly-furry like with alot of resemblance to the animal but maintaining a somewhat anthro body.
- More access to the animal abilities.
(link: "(text-colour:green)[''Class 2'']")[
(set: $zclass to "class 2")
(goto: "zdescription")
]
- Mix between furry/human design. Face structure resembles more of a human but influenced more by animal traits.
- Limited access to the animal abilities.
(link: "(text-colour:green)[''Class 3'']")[
(set: $zclass to "class 3")
(goto: "zdescription")
]
- Mostly-human like with some physical traits to the animal.
-Less access to animal abilities, mostly looks.
[[zdescription]]So based on your $zspecies species and $zclass, a overal view of your body would be:
(if: $zclass is "class 1" and $zspecies is "bonewolf")[
Your body is completely furred, with paws, ears and tail, you have a bonewolf lizardlike snout and produce acidic saliva that lets you dissolve bone and use it as building blocks for whatever you want, including sticking it to your fur as makeshift armor or decoration. You can either be plantigrade or digitigrade.
]
(if: $zclass is "class 2" and $zspecies is "bonewolf")[
Your body is completely furred, with paws, ears and tail, your face still resemble that of a human yet you have have a small snout and produce acidic saliva yet is not powerful enough to dissolve bone, but can do flesh and could be used to coat weapons for painful effects.
]
(if: $zclass is "class 3" and $zspecies is "bonewolf")[
Your body resemblence that of a regular human, the main difference is that you maintain the bonewolf size, ears and tail, and you dont posses any other bonewolf ability.
]
(if: $zclass is "class 1" and $zspecies is "ashlight")[
Your body is completely furred, with paws, ears, tail and snout, also are capable of eating ash to produce lightpods as chlorine gas to fill a whole room. You can either be plantigrade or digitigrade. Also volatile.
]
(if: $zclass is "class 2" and $zspecies is "ashlight")[
Your body is completely furred, with paws, ears and tail, your face still resemble that of a human yet you have have a small snout and produce chlorine gas that can be used to fill a whole room.
]
(if: $zclass is "class 3" and $zspecies is "ashlight")[
Your body resemblence that of a regular human, the main difference is that you maintain the ashlight size, ears and tail, and you dont posses any other ashlight ability.
]
Now given the class-based description, you can specify more about your character, their name, personality, haircut/color, scars, gender, body, height, etc
(input-box: bind $name, "Type your character name here!")
(input-box: bind $description, "Type your character description here!")
[[Continue->zbackstory]]
Now your backstory, this one is rather up to you to decide, just take into consideration the main points of the world of Novymirn.
Soviet-Novymirn war has been going for the past 20 years, yet is not as active anymore.
Most Zvernarod settlements are independent towns to one another, and usually you live amongst your people.
Any other question or help needed please ask me.
(input-box: bind $backstory, "Type your backstory here!")
After you are done with your backstory, now we have to figure out your equipment!
[[Continue->zequipment1]]
The first and most important item at your disposal is your catalyzer, which is the way your character makes magic, technically its optional since you can be a melee fighter yet you still need it to use melee related magic too.
Its free for you to choose the effect of your magic, just know you only have one at the beginning and can get more later, catalyzer are most commonly items that as long as you use them you can use their effect, which can be from simple stuff as fireball, healing or strenght, to more creative uses, such as a steaming hot water shot, slowness on targets, etc. Can be a status effect, a projectile, a bonus, a passive, a support, it will be subject to balancing and approval ofcourse, so stuff like teleportation or insta kills or god-like stuff will be prohibited or heavily nerfed with caviats.
(input-box: bind $catalyzer, "Tell us what your catalyzer can do!")
[[Continue->zequipmen2]] Now for the rest of your equipment/gear that you character is carrying, this will consist of weapons, tools, clothes, armour, trinkets, survival equipment, etc. Do try to be realistic with what you are carrying and that it could make sense based off your backstory and character, cannot also be carrying a ship anchor when you are a 1.5m midget!
(input-box: bind $equipment, "Tell us what you have with you!")
And thats about it for your character! Now lets give em a check shall we!'
