(Well,thats quite a bit of information...anyways,lets get started with the character creation..)
Eldrith - Male
[Change to 1st person narrative]
As I start to think,an illusory image of a neither skinny nor fat 1,8 m tall 18 yo human appears before me,soon followed by short brown hair and grayish blue eyes popping into existence.Next,I imagine a full leather body armour with regular clothes undernath,as well as a short spear with an iron tip.As soon as everything is done,the creation assistant’s voice rings in my mind:
Obviously,I answer yes.
The scenery rapidly changes as I’m transferred into the air above what looks to be an immensely vast landmass surrounded by an ocean.In the center of what I’ll call the continent lie a few dozen or so huge lakes surounded by even larger plains,to the North of which i can see mountains.The East and West of the continent consists mainly of forests,while to the south there’s a an enormous desert.

The voice in my head appears again:
After a short pause,the voice continues:
2.Create a working food supply system
3.Eliminate or assimilate nearby groups of other races
4.Grow your secure zone into a settlement
5.Establish a governement and belief system
All your choices during the tutorial will become the foundation of your future civilization and carry on to the main game.To ensure the fairness of the tutorial,for the period of it,you and your group shall enter a separate,single-player zone.>
With the sound fading,I am transported back into the void,this time alone and with 5 glowing doors before me.As i focus on each of them information windows pop into existence:
