Creating your Character


So you are ready to create a new character to join the Freedomverse. That’s great! We have some simple steps for you to follow to get your character squared away and in line with our house rules and expectations.

  • Step 1 – Conceive your Character: Think about what they can do and who they are. if you have any questions about how to do something or how the rules work, please feel free to ask in our #Hero-High channel.

  • Step 2 – Build your Character: Ok now you have a handle on how everything is going to work, its time to build the first draft of your character. Once that’s done toss a complete build of them up in our #Heroic-Builds channel. Here you can get feedback and experienced advice from our community. They can help make sure your character is following our guidelines and house rules. It often takes a few passes to get everything right.

Don’t be afraid to revisit and rebuild your ideas until they work for you.

  • Step 3 – Submit your Character: Before a character can be played in Freedomverse games they have to be approved by our GM team. Once you have your build all hammered out, there a couple things to do. First, fill out the “New character Submission Form” that is pinned in the #heroic-Builds channel in the Freedomverse server. This will alert the team to your request for vetting. The vetting process can take up to 2 weeks and is handled by at least two GMs directly, with a final overview by the whole team.

You can check the status of your submission, along with any feedback and recommendations for changes on the “Freedomverse Vetting Status” page which is also linked in #Heroic-Builds. Once you have been given some feedback and you have then either applied it or have questions on how to proceed, you can resubmit it for review on the vetting form.

  • Step 4 – Upload your Character: Now that you are all approved it time to upload the final draft of your character here onto the Freedomverse Wiki.

Playing Your Character


Once you have a Vetted character you are all set to join other Heroes and Villains in Freedom City. Games will be posted in the Looking For Heroes channels on Discord. There are channels for Roll20, Play by Post, and the Roleplay channels. Simply watch for a posting that fits your schedule and apply at the included Roll20 link. Most every game will start through Roll20, even Play by Posts, to make things more manageable.

Reminder: Please be sure to take note of any Trigger Warnings included with any game.

When posting to Roll20 please include the following:

  • A link to your character sheet
  • Discord handle
  • A short explanation of why your character is involved in this game.
  • Supply any info requested by the GM. i.e. Closest loved ones? Biggest fear? Where are your parents?


If you are selected for a game the GM will usually notify everyone through Discord. So, please remember to include a Discord handle. You will also receive a notification from Roll20 that you have been invited. Games tend to run about three(3) hours. Please try to show up at least five(5) minutes early and expect the game may not start until fifteen(15) minutes past the listed time due to delays.
