Greetings, envoys! [i]Shadow Bonds[/i] will release in 6 days. We're [i]really[/i] excited about it and can't wait to have you play the game! In the meanwhile, we're keeping up with our weekly devlogs. Today's post is all about you, the protagonist! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41591093/47ead48bee0dcc1a03223b3021a51ca968d41f58.png[/img] The protagonist has a fixed appearance, but you can customize her in several ways: [h3]Who are you?[/h3] She does not have a set name, so you can pick whichever one you like! We know first-hand that it's hard to come up with a name out of the blue, that's why we included a list of lore-friendly pre-generated names. Click on the button next to the name field to cycle through them!

[h3]What makes you tick?[/h3] The four humors of Hippocratic medicine color the tone of your answers and let the protagonist embrace her emotions. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41591093/f47bd13ca338356866c6200938b9d1c335f0995d.gif[/img] [list] [*] [i]Sanguine [/i]answers are usually happy and carefree; [*] [i]Phlegmatic [/i]responses are thoughtful, but tend towards inaction; [*] [i]Melancholic [/i]answers are driven by fear; [*] [i]Choleric [/i]responses are curt and sarcastic;[/list] As the decisions you make shape the dominant personality of the main character, she will behave accordingly in certain scenes! [h3]Who do you like?[/h3] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41591093/1b9a4b2320816067fd8b665f2dffbaaf7c860eb9.gif[/img] You'll also be able to determine the protagonist's romantic preference, and you can change those at any time during play!
