Character Creation

Rabocha is a Victorian style world where tech includes things such as trains and phones. Each city is surrounded by massive walls and connected by underground trains. The rest of the world is entirely overrun by monsters of all sorts most bigger and tougher than their former equivalents. The main races are undivided when the fall happened and monsters started bursting forth. Humans united them, dwarves built tunnels and the walls that keep the cities safe. Elves were able to grow gardens to sustain the population. Gnomes created the trains that travel from one city to the next.

Half-breeds are also incredibly common in this world. Tieflings and Aasimar, if discovered, are immediately exiled and left to die. Orcs and other monstrous breeds were also left to fend for themselves.

Only 5 cities remain. Others like them have existed but have fallen and the tunnels to those cities have been closed. Once such city is named Ogma Dinn, after the god of Order, Ogma. This city is known for being hyper-religious and does not even accept those with deformities and mutations, which have become common place in Rabocha in all races aside from the Dwarves. Those with such deformities are either seen as second-class citizens or entirely exiled should they become too big of a problem.

Note: Ogma Dinn and other cities are reminiscent to 40k hive cities but with a less futuristic approach and yes, the image above is a depiction of a hive city.

Allowed Races:

Dwarf
Elf
Gnome
Half-Elf
Halfling
Half-orc*
Human
Tiefling*
Goliath
Aasimar*
Changeling*
Kalashtar*
Warforged*

The races with * within them either need to hide their traits to be as humanoid as possible or are treated as second-class citizens. If Tiefling, Aasimar, Changeling, or Kalashtar are discovered they are immediately exiled. Warforged are seen as servants and Half-orcs are seen as savage and often wind up doing a lot of physical labor.

Additionally, Half-orcs have fairly distant bloodline to their orc relatives and are often more like quarter orcs and beyond at this point. Many still view these bloodlines as tainted, though they haven't died out since many of the lower class do not view it as much of a big deal.

To start the game you will create a character of one of these races and can choose whichever class you like and start at level 1 with point buy for stats.

Additionally, I will need some basic background information:

-What sort of upbringing did you have in Ogma Dinn?
-What do you currently do for money in the city?
-Do you have any mutations? (If yes then the GM will choose at random what it is. Some may be boons, some may be negatives. All will need to be hidden if you want to be seen as normal in the city)

A note for Clerics, Paladins, and the Religiously Inclined, the gods of this world are:

Taika Goddess of Magic Domains: Arcana, Knowledge

Fiore God of War Domains: War, Twilight

Urdra Goddess of Chaos Domains: Tempest, Trickery

Ogma God of Order Domains: Peace, Order

Khaine God of Hope Domains: Life, Nature

Therian Goddess of Death Domains: Death, Grave
