Roughly thirty years ago, the Great Change happened. The Apocolypse. The End.
The Rebirth.
Thirty years ago, though most of the worlds citizens arent yet aware of it, everything came to a halt. Literally. The universe was under new management, one could say, and everything was swallowed up in a Time Bubble, a field created by The System to stop time, obviously, for the purpose of creating an easier transition for the world and its peoples to adapt to its changes.
Then, The System randomly selected one singular individual to become The First Apprentice. This person was sent to a world which had fully adapted and matured under the rules of The System, and would certainly have much to teach. And ten years later, The System would select a grouping of people, friends, to embark on a journey of their own, where they would be guided by The First Apprentice. And once they had all chosen their Class, they would all be sent back to Earth to face their new destiny.
But Earth did not meerly return to normal. No, that just wouldnt be right. Instead, to fascilitate, neigh, *force* adaptation, pieces of the world were taken and swapped around to create a whole new geography. Monsters were summoned all across the surface, but were also stopped by the time bubble, to reek havok when the time was right.
And our mythical heros, the chosen saviors, the seeds of a new humanity...were dropped into one monster free area, given a small population of humanity to coordinate, and instructed to create the worlds first Village. They did so, and more. And as the system challenged them, their area of influence grew, pushing back the walls of the time bubble for new people and resources.
But there are always monsters. Some, you will never see coming.
And you?
You are the child of The First Apprentice, who by now had made such a name a thing of the past. She is now a [Great Warrior-Philosopher], but what will you become?
--------
Just to shorten character creation, lets do by plan
I say that we are a girl, but what will you add?
Choose a personality
[] Personality A: Peppy, bright, enthusiastic! Your life is great, most of the time, and you think the system is , generally, really cool. You think your mom and the Big 5 are awesome for helping to rebuild humanity and fight monsters!
[] Personality B: You grew up hearing about both the wonders and the tragedies of this new world. You think The System is an improvement over the capitalism dystopia your mother would tell you about, but you think its too harsh. Youre very aware the world is dangerous, so you intend to be thoughtful and cautious. Your eyes always seem to wander over to the horizon.
[] Personality C: The world as it was before doesnt really matter anymore. The last remnants of it were either trapped in a ticking timebomb of a hellscape, or were busy leading everyone to learn how to survive what The System has given you. You're the very pragmatic type that has decided to learn how the world works now, and help everyone prosper the best you can
[] Personality D: The world before the rebirth was such a strange place, but at the same time wonderful. The place you live now only seems to have minimum wildlife, but the nature books your mom would show you were full of creatures of endless types. It had no magic, yet everyones class now seems to be based off of old legends and things called movies and anime. The dichotomy has always fascinated you, and youre starting to believe that humanity can reach its potential by fusing together its past and present.
[] Personality E: You like to fight. You like to tease others and get in trouble. Despite your mothers best efforts, she does infact lead all of humanity (even though its only a couple of small villages) and doesnt spend as much time with you as either of you would like. You're a little bit out of control, but thats fine. Really. Just as long as it doesnt start to effect your Corruption Rating.
Who do you look up to?
[] Hero 1: Your mom. Your mom is very talented. She cooks, cleans, fights, philosophizes, runs the village, and even trains you occassionally. She's a real hero, you cant help but look up to her.
[] Hero 2: William, the [Monster Sculpter] : This is a man who can create items and weaponry out of monster parts. He is a deadly front line fighter, and clever craftsman. He doesnt say a lot, but you know what they say, actions speak louder than words. And you admire what you see.
[] Hero 3: Lily, the [Siren Arachne] : This is the second in command in terms of running the village. She can turn into a spider lady, or summon spiders, and lure monsters, animals, and even people into her webs. Luckily, she spends her time running the local spinster shop instead, and with her husband, William, keeps track of the supplies coming into town.
[] Hero 4 : Jack, the [Light Swordsman] : Not what you think, Jack fights with swords made of light, and his armor flashes and blinds his opponents. Strong fighter, very knight-like. Often teams up with William or Nicholas. He is the Big 5 that most children look up to.
[] Hero 5: Amelia the [Mystic Ninja] : She uses magic, and stealth attacks, and uses magic to enhance her stealth attacks. You have read a lot of books about this place called japan, and she embodies everything ninja! How cool is that?!
[] Hero 5 : Nicholas [REDACTED] : ...no one knows what his class is. He hasn't told anyone, and your mom has given up trying to get him to register in the village ledger. He's pretty cool though, always snarky, always ontop of things, always ready to take on The Raids.
[] Hero 6 : Your brother! He is a [Water Mage] and is out in the greater world, exploring and testing the limits the the Time Bubble so that he can take down monsters early on and report when something has opened up
[] Hero ...someone else!

Where do you live? Where did your mother settle?
[] Start: New Garden : A mango plantation on the edge of the tropical jungle. Obviously, you grow a lot of mangos. But you also hunt wild pigs and jungle fowl and grow a variety of berries and healing herbs. New Garden is situated to the south of the new world, and the walls of the time bubble prevent you from going deeper into the jungle. The theme here is 'growth'
[] Start: Farmville: In the middle of the map, amongst the wide grass lands of the new world, there is an old farmstead. It has an old farm house, a barn, several chickens, and a few horses that your village have painstakingly grown into a full herd. You grow old world crops like corn, tomatos, onions, cabbage, potatos, and wheat. You even have a few apple trees. but some of the villagers are looking into diversifying crops using The System The theme here is 'steady'
[] Start: Little Tokyo: To the West of the map, on the edge of a cliff...is that...tokyo tower? Sure is! As well as a few tour busses full of people. Times here are tough, but the people have adapted and thrived. You dont have many animals or crops, but birds are drawn to the tower and can be tamed or hunted, and the fields of grass have given seed that has been adapted into something new resembling wheat and rice. The Theme here is 'tradition'
[] Start: Fort-Town : To the furthest north of the map, is a collection of remnants of an urban city, new york perhaps? maybe chicago? They are unrecognisable, but have been deposited on the side of a massive mountain. Not much grows here, but you have olive trees and goats, and endless stone. You make do. People around here like their guns, obviously, and have been able to use and abuse the system to make, repair, and keep guns loaded for 'better hunting'. The theme here is... well.. 'guns'
Unfortunately, to the East is currently just a rocky outcropping and river, you can not choose that, you will see why.
