Create your own Character NFT for Free :)

in #fantasy2 years ago

Character creation time!

With VaX the Observer now in place, the other entities and objects of Kalavia are ready to be channeled to our world as NFTs.

And the first batch are going to be Player Characters!

To give you a taste, see below an unnamed Explorer card, which is one class that your character could have!

How do I create my character?

Simple! Just leave a direct reply to this post, providing me with the following information:

  • Proposed name of your character (ideally not too long, due to space constraints).
  • The proposed class of your character. You can choose between:
    • Crafter
    • Miner
    • Explorer
    • Warrior
    • Noble
    • Channeler
    • Sorcerer
    • Grower
    • Scientist
  • The preferred home location of your character in Kalavia (if you have any preference!).
  • A rough description of what your character should (visually) look like.

Character creation is completely free, but I reserve the right to only create characters for the first twenty people replying here, as it will involve some manual labour from my side 😁.

Once the character is created, you will receive a single unique NFT representing the character. Note that all characters will have stats based on their class (and the title will be the class). However, their name will be visible on the card, and their card will also have an entirely unique image. In addition, stats of all Player Character cards are likely to change over time as I gradually refine the game/power mechanics of Kalavian Tales.

Background context

After the previous posts I've gotten a good impression about the current community size. Essentially, as far as I can tell around a dozen people are currently engaging with Kalavian Tales in one way or another.

For some projects, having such a small community of participants can be a detrimental disadvantage, but for Kalavian Tales the opposite is very much true. Given that my ambition is to mostly give away distinct NFTs rather than sell them en masse, a small community means that there is room for a lot of room to play with at the moment! 👍

The Observer NFTs have already been created and will soon be given away. They have mostly a symbolic role, as (1) they mark the kick-off of the Kalavian Tales NFT collection and (2) those holding them have made a statement in support of the project growing and developing.

In about 3 to 5 days, the Observers will be distributed and NFT mechanisms of Kalavia will begin to do their work. At time of writing, all these mechanisms are all manual, which is no problem because the community is small! 😎👍

This post details the first of such mechanisms, which entails the temporary ability to propose custom character NFTs.

Once the character NFTs are created and released, I will distribute them among the players and also officially launch the first version of the Kalavian Tales NFT Manager (which is already operational), which allows you to view your NFTs and do all sorts of other things with them.

How is this image for the NFT?

Also, I'll have a think about a good location for this one :).

this is beautiful, I wonder if a different color for the wings would work seems a little too monochrome, is it possible for the wings to be dark green for the bone/ribs and a red to black for the wings webbing? also his flesh/scale could be a similar green to the green wing ribs? the armor is very nice it almost looks like a dragon head on the breast plate it would be nice if that was more obvious with maybe some jewels for the dragons eyes? not sure about Location name would it help if i made something up? didn't kmow if there was any preexisting lore.

@ryan600 I've tried to evolve this dragon to see if I got something a little bit more varied.

I generated 32 images, many of them strange, but perhaps this one is decent?

These are all Amazing. I definitely like the colors combination on the new one,

Hi @ryan600. One more thing: I've actually created your NFT and sent it to you!

However, I did make a blooper and sent you the NFT for warrentrx as well!!

Would you perhaps be willing to send it directly to him (@warrentrx)?

You can do so using this tool: https://kalavia.github.io/nftmanager/home.html

  1. Type in your hive acocunt name besides the show NFTs button.
  2. You will then see your two NFTs.
  3. Next to the Warrior NFT from @warrentrx, please click on the little arrow on the right. See Screenshot:

Screenshot from 2023-04-13 17-17-37.png

  1. Use that transfer interface to send the NFT to @warrentrx

  2. Let me know with a reply when you've done it.

I do apologize for the inconvenience, and I'll happily send you 20 KATAMI if you could do this for me!

sorry just seeing this today, i have sent @warrentrx the nft, sorry for the delay

Just to let you know: I will place him in the South of the Granite Mountains. That way I may be able to work the character in the plotline quite easily if you like :).

Sounds good to me!!

Here is an attempt. could you give me a name for him perhaps? :)

@bitius Please let me know what name you have in mind.

Otherwise I may have to give him a name myself when issuing the NFT. I think that would be less fun that if you gave him one :).

Name of character: Trilaria
Class: Warrior
Home Location: Rymwood Forest
Looks: 20's, average height and weight, long brown hair, some braided, looks rugged, trimmed beard, lives in the forest in a large hollowed out great oak type tree, carries a short sword and hand axe. Interested in the ways of the scientist class as well.

How is this for an image? It can be very tricky to add the sword, but I can try if you like this as a base :).

Looks good, can you add a short sword and hand axe in some fashion? Short sword would be fine if the hand axe is too tough to do.

Nightcafe is always very tricky with adding weapons. But after about 80 attempts I managed to get a sword with a decent grip at least. See here :)

I had to use stable inpainting with this, along with a careful prompt and 40% weight for the modification. And even then I needed a fair bit of repetition ;).
