Player character



The Player Character is the person created by the player at the beginning of the game. This character can be a man or a woman, and their appearance can be customized.

Backstory
The player character, according to the opening cutscene of the game, is a young person from a faraway place called Barnarock who has come seeking adventure. The character arrives at Portia by boat, which is navigated by Wuwa, a citizen of Portia.

Presley, the Commissioner of the Commerce Guild, awaits the character and escorts him/her to the Workshop, where the character's father once lived and worked.

The player character tells Presley that he/she did not know Pa well. Presley then presents a letter from Pa, which he had been instructed to give once the player has seen the workshop:

The player character agrees to fix up and work in the Workshop and the game officially begins.
