Create character

[Darx]

Can you create a character in this game? or will you always get a random group of people as the next successor to you and you can select?

As the trailer suggests, you make your first character, at least in the name.

Given the game's premise tho, the first character is - I guess - meant to die, so there's no point in putting in any effort into their creation, which is a bummer...

You select the gender and name of your final emperor. There is no character creation and you’ll be using the in game characters to select as your emperors in the meantime.

You can't put effort into creation in the first place, other than name and gender. Neither is the one you make at the start the one you start with, it's your final one way later down the line.
