(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:

Somewhere in the Falcon Plains, a hare is born. He opens his little eyes for the first time, eager to see the world. But to his surprise, he’s not with his brothers and sisters in a litter. No, he’s flying! Flying! Imagine the wonder of that little hare; his first moments were spent in the air! The wind rushing through his fur, lesser birds beneath his paws. It was...magical! Then he looks up and sees the sky. The sky! What a mystical thing! And then he sees the monstrous brute that’s carrying him and similar things drawing closer. “Yo! That boy hare lookin’ real fine!” “Hey, you, Brutus! Don’t ya wanna share?” Thus begins the story of a very special hare. { Credit for Cover Art goes to Daicelf, on Deviant Art}

Antithetic: Spire of Wonder
The world was never a fulfilling place for April Fallow, and she soon came to resent the fact that, like everyone else, she had just been going along with how society dictates lives should be lead. So, despite her adeptness in educational and social pursuits, April drops out of high school in search of an adventure to call her own—she comes up with the plan that she will travel across the country… Or so she thinks. On the day of her adventure, April finds herself awakened inside another world without the ability to recall how she got there. Confusion and disorientation quickly convert to excitement and ambition as April steps forth with the goal of exploring and truly living within a new world. Her target: to sufficiently conquer a mountain of wonders and natural phenomenon that’s known as one of the world’s biggest mysteries. This mountain—this Spire of Wonder—is recognized as a great, but relatively harmless, dungeon called Shelter Spire that has its completion parameters still unknown. Far reaching temperate forests. Beautiful cliff faces. A complex system of crystal-lit caves and puzzle-like ruins. April soon finds herself taking off on an adventure within one of the most awe inspiring landmarks of another world.NOTE: Amazing Cover Art Done By @Transflames on Twitter, Go Check Them Out.
