Character Creation; Domesticated

Instead of a Sleeper, you may wish to play as one of the Domesticated; a Winged, Red Blood, Cold Blood, Piscan or Citizen of Dust close to Sleepers, with goals to help their Sleeper friends escape, while aiding their home Realm.

As a Domesticated, you are not a Sleeper, and thus not the game's focus. This option is so you and a friend can play a joint concept without swapping Sleeper identities; Domesticated are relatively simple, straightforward builds.

Sleeper Creation can be found here.

1) Choose a Concept

Pick;
