Identities

The core mechanic of this RP!

Identities are both your Character's name in the story as well as their Class.

Every creature in the land of Phantasy is known by an Identity. This Identity is the most important portion of someone' Name. Here are some as examples!
 * Brave Archer
 * Needy Blacksmith
 * Backstabbing Knight

As you can see, there are two portions to each Name. A Name consists of an Identity and Descriptor. The Identity portion defines that character's role in the world, what skills they are able to use, and their stat distribution!

Identity can change over time. For example, if you start to like basket weaving, your Identity may change from Peddler to Basket Weaver if it becomes "core" to your character. Other times, Identities just happen to change without explanation! This happens with the Adventurer and Hero Identities, which seem rather arbitrary and are assigned when certain conditions are met.

What is special about the Player Characters?

Well, Player Characters have both their initial Identity, which is a Civilian Identity, and the Identity of Adventurer. Adventurer progresses into a Combat Class. Thus, by the end of the story, you have a character who begins as "Embalmer" but eventually becomes "Friendly Ensepulcher Paladin" if you became a Squire, Knight, Crusader, and Paladin.

Why don't people just name each other like we do? "But IC, wouldn't it make soooo much more sense to give people individual names?"

Don't be ridiculous. With magic, anything is possible.
