Getting Started

Whether you are simply new to Destria or completely new to Larping, we try to make getting into the game easy.

Step One: Learn the Basics
The two primary sets of information you should look at to understand the game are the in-play descriptions of the world and the out-of-play mechanics of the game system. You should look at the overviews for each Study, Favored Skills, and Race to see how those choices will affect what abilities your character could have access to. Also, read through the Common Knowledge section to learn about the various societies and get an idea of what place you would like your character to fill within Destria. *For any questions about game terminology, please check the Dictionary.

Step Two: Begin Character Creation
Once you have decided on the basics like what Race, Studies, and Favored Skills you are interested in, you should take a look at the Character Creation page for an explanation on how to purchase the various Skills and Feats your character will need. Once you have an idea of how you want to spend your experience points, you can then begin creating your character online through the character engine.

Step Three: Finalize Your Character Concept
Looking beyond the statistics, you now need to turn your character into a 3D person. Your character will need to interact with the other characters of the world so he/she needs a personal history, a personal style and a personality. To add definition to your character concept you should create a character background and put together a costume. Upon approval of your submitted background, you will gain access to the Lore tied to your home region.
