Character creation (also known as character generation or character design) is the process of defining a player character in a role-playing game. The result of character creation is a direct characterization that is recorded on a character sheet. This may include a representation of the character's physical, mental, psychological, and social attributes and skills in terms of the specific game's mechanics. It may also include informal descriptions of the character's physical appearance, personality, personal back-story ("background"), and possessions. Games with a fantasy setting often include traits such as race, class, or species. Character creation is typically the first step taken by the players (as opposed to a gamemaster) before a game starts.
