Big news, warriors — the wait is over. With the launch of the Anarkand RPG Character Creation Tool, you can finally step into the forge your legacy from scratch and take your custom-built hero into a horror-filled space experience that is constantly evolving.



This isn’t just cosmetic. Every choice you make shapes the way you play, from your race and background to your Xenosuit and Utility Gun. Every choice is unique, and the game will be shaped by you and your crew.

Gear Up with Your Xenosuit

Your Xenosuit is more than armour. It’s survival. It determines your starting capabilities, including:

  • Life support, shielding, and radiation protection.

  • Oxygen and toxic resistance.

  • Thermal protection for extreme conditions.

  • Speed and stealth adjustments.

  • Starting tech slots, maximum slots, and inventory space.

  • Jetpack options (and more to unlock as you progress).

  • There are 15 to choose from, each with their own unique stats

  • Alpha

  • Bren Mk. II

  • Elohim

  • Ghost

  • Hasashi Mk. I

  • Hunter

Why This Matters

The Character Creation Tool means every character in the Anarkand roleplaying game is truly yours. Your race, your backstory, your suit, your weapon — everything impacts your journey. Whether you want to min-max the perfect build or create a wild, roleplay-heavy character, this is where your story begins.

This is just the first step. I will be adding more races, backgrounds, Xenosuits, and weapons in the future.
