Character Creation refers to characters created by players themselves, rather than developers.
A character who is destined to save or destroy the world. Often seen in RPGs.
Some games let players customize their character (or characters). Degree of customization may vary, with some games simply allowing to choose between different types of clothes, while others provide more detailed tinkering of features such as the distance between a character's eyes or hair color.
Customization in games that allow users to change various parts of their equipment or moves to fit their gaming style.
Either specialized dragon killers or a honorary title bestowed upon those who have managed to slay a dragon.
The concept of using two weapons at once, often for more damage at the cost of accuracy, the use of a shield, grenades, or other similar accessories.
Picking the gender of your character can help immerse you in the game world. Sometimes this leads to different abilities in-game, sometimes it means nothing at all.
This tag is for all games and characters that deal in the concept of gods, demigods, half-gods and the like.
When a character or group of characters does something extremely brave on behalf of another character or group of characters, knowing that they will get killed or seriously injured in the process.
A heavily armored soldier in the service of a lord or cause. Typically a champion of good and a defender of the innocent.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Any character you can control in a game is a Player Character (PC), as opposed to a non-player character (NPC), which is a character that can only be controlled by the game.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
Any practitioner of magic (wizard, sorcerer, mage, necromancer, etc.) who casts spells. Even unlearned scholars can throw a mean magic missile every now and then.
The act of taking one's own life.
A tragic hero is a protagonist who makes several mistakes to fall from glory, or is affected by tragedy and seeks revenge or redemption.
An individual who specializes in armed combat.
Being learned scholars and masters of the arcane arts, wizards wield great power by manipulating magical energy for the forces of good and evil.
