Characters
Creating a character
To create a character, do /create and finish the menu that opens. You need to fill out every section, then press the egg that says "Finalize." The lore on that egg will show you any field you're missing.
Deleting your character
To delete your character, do /delete. There is a 30-day cooldown to deleting your character.
Rolling for subelements
When you create a character, you are randomly assigned subelements (or affinities), such as healing or metalbending, based on the element you've chosen. Subelements have unequal chances of assignment:
| Subelement | Assignment chance |
|---|---|
| Icebending | 100% |
| Plantbending | 50% |
| Healing | 45% |
| Bloodbending | 5% |
| Sandbending | 100% |
| Glassbending | 60% |
| Metalbending | 40% |
| Lavabending | 5% |
| Lightningbending | 35% |
| Combustionbending | 5% |
| Spiritual affinity | 20% |
| Soundbending | 20% |
Some subelements and unique skills——blue fire, flight, daytime bloodbending, and combustion——can be unlocked only after completing a successful application to the Roleplay Council for these skills.

Rerolling
You may find that you don't like the subelements your character has been given. The good news is that new characters have 1 free reroll, with which they can try again for different subelements by using /reroll. And to see how many rerolls you have left, use /rerolls. Once you run out of these, if you want to reroll you will have to purchase a $3 reroll or the $20 Patron rank for infinite rerolls forever.
Character death
Ways to die:
Murdered
Your character can be murdered if you're successfully hunted. Click here to read more about hunts.
Executed
Your character can be executed using an item called the Executioner's Axe. This is in special circumstances when the Rules of War dictate someone's execution during a forced victory. Only admins may spawn the Executioner's Axe.
Slain in battle
Your character can be slain in battle. If you get knocked out in battle, someone will have 60 seconds to punch your body and choose to land the final blow (deleting your character) or spare you. Once 30 seconds of that time are up, you will be free to leave the battlefield with /battle leave or quit the game. Be warned, though: if you log off before those 30 seconds are done, your character will be killed automatically. You can read more about battles here.
Duel to the Death
Duels to the Death (DttDs) are a special type of duel. When you get knocked out in a DttD, the winner of the duel will have the option to land the final blow or spare you. Read more about DttDs here.
