Origins

This page serves as an out of character resource to detail Origins effects by species.

These origins are custom made (thank you Cristi) and are meant to be relatively low-impact while also providing small gameplay perks for characters of different species.

You should not choose to play a species purely for the gameplay bonus. We aim to simply make the origins reflect the writing that's been done for the species, rather than make them especially influential to gameplay. This is the reason species origins were not released until after the Lobby has been opened.

When selecting an origin, please pick the correct origin for your character's species.
