OVERSOUL Character Tree System!
Posted on February 16, 2012 by Nulgath

This week we'll be giving you a sneak peek at the Character Tree system of Oversoul. When you possess a new character, they start at level 1, Neutral standing.
Once you reach a certain level requirement, you'll be given the option to change your appearance on the Character Tree.
You start as an Apprentice then progress up to Veteran, Champion and finally Master! Here are just a few examples you'll find in-game:

Types of Character Trees:

Common and Legendary Character Trees: The Character Tree will be a key part of the game because it allows you to change not only your appearance but your card deck
and elemental standing marked by the colored globes. As you can see above, you have many paths to take but not all characters will have such a broad selection. Most Character Trees will
only reach Veteran or Champion. Only Legendary Characters will have ALL of the tree open to them and be able to reach the Master levels. Some Character Trees may reveal a new character
for you to unlock after completing a quest or objective.

Character Trees with Customizable Card Decks: Some Character Trees will give players the ability to customize their card decks with all the character cards
the player has unlocked within that particular Character Tree. These Character Trees would only be allowed one elemental standing and for good reason. We don't want Lava monsters spewing
ice bolts or Vampires casting light spells for example. As th game progresses we may allow elements that don't clash to work together. Like the Neutral element being allowed to mix with any
other element. Or maybe a Lich that can cast both Shadow and Ice spells. So as you can see the Character Tree plays a variety of roles when developing your characters.

Endless Variety of Characters: There is no standard character model in Oversoul. Which means almost any kind of character you can think of can be played in
Oversoul as long as they aren't too big. The Character Tree allows characters to make dramatic transformations from say a human to a vampire, werewolf, slime, clouds, inanimate objects,
clowns, birds, ninja, swarm of bugs or even to a dragon.(Medium sized dragons.) The possibilities of progression are endless! But some of you might like the early look of your character so there
will be the ability to lock your appearance or reset your choices.

Stay tuned next week for more sneak peeks into the development of Oversoul!
