Character Creation

Stargate Worlds is in the Production Phase. Therefore, any information on this wiki (including the information in the developer quotes) cannot be taken as concrete facts, and may still change. |
The character creation process in Stargate Worlds will contain a few twists that will set it apart from other MMOs[1] At the creation of a character a player will be able to choose their archetype and faction as well as determine the look of their character. Archetypes or factions cannot be changed later. Later in the game players will specialize themselves, and those can be 'respecced'.[2] Players will not assign statistics at the creation of their character, these will be preset. Players will build the look of their character through modular construction picking different preset faces, hairstyles, tattoos, scars, facial hair, skin tones and other details.[3][4] Much of the character customization, in terms of play-style, will occur as players advance through the game. Also, while variation in character creation is a value to CME, they also have certain boundaries to it. For example, all humans are part of a military organization, and that reflects in human character creation.[5]
Players will probably also be able to write a character biography in their own field, which is inspectable by other players.[6]
The names of the iconic characters of the show will obviously be off-limits when a player chooses theirs, although this will be difficult.[7] Other than this, little is known about how players will be allowed to name their characters.

Each archetype will have their own starting location. The opening minutes of the game will be a guided solo experience to acquaint players with their archetype and the storyline. This will be particularly important for those who are unfamiliar with the television series.[8]
The starting locations are:
