Let's make an Advanced Dungeon doggos character!
Alabaster grins at you as you approach the table. "To join the game, you'll need a character! I'll walk you through how to make your very own Advanced Dungeon Doggos character!!" He hands you a sheet of paper and a pencil, "Now there's a few things you'll need to know, but don't worry!"

Puppillar name
Your Character's name! For this quest, you may use an exisiting character, or you may use one of the NPCs to base a character on,. You may change the name slightly to fit the fantasy theme, such as "Pembroke the Wise".
Class
There are four classes you can choose for Advanced Dungeon Doggos:
- Fighter - A powerful and tough character who loves to fight!
- Theif - A quick and sneaky character who loves treasures!
- Mage - A clever magic user who loves learning new things!
- Healer - A caring character who loves to help their friends!
The class you choose won't effect too much in the game, but replying to the story with your character choices in mind is part of the fun! Pick a class that suits your character, or one they will have fun playing!
Teeth, Paws, nose, and Tail
These are your characters stats! Here's what they each represent:
- Teeth represents strength and tenacity
- Paws represents dexterity and speed
- Nose represents perception and investigation
- Tail represents charisma and friendliness
For the stats, you must choose from a "standard array", which means you must assign one of each of the following numbers to your stats: +5, +3, +0, -3. This way, every character will have some strengths and flaws, but there won't be anything that puts anyone at a huge advantage or disadvantage. Think about what stat(s) your character would excel in, and what they might not be the best at.
weapon of choice
Dungeon crawlers always need a trusty weapon! You may choose any sort of weapon for your character, and it will have no bearing on the story, but once again will give you a character choice to use and utilize!
Alignment
Is your character good or evil? Chaotic or Lawful? Choose an alignment for your character that will give you oppurtunity to roleplay within the story.
Portrait
Draw a picture of your Puppillar in character here! And yes, you can submit this character sheet for Treats as well!
Ideal and Flaw
More character info, these are pretty open ended, but can help nail down a character for you to use during the story! Having one "positive" trait in the form of an ideal and one "negative" trait in the form of a flaw can help build a balanced character!
