Character creation guide

Create your own character, not just pick a preset hero

PicWar starts with ownership: you make the hero yourself, then watch that hero become part of an evolving roster.

Why ownership matters

A custom hero gives you more control than a preset class picker. The character feels personal before the first battle even begins.

How PicWar approaches character creation

Instead of sliders and costume presets, PicWar lets the player start from a drawing or uploaded image. The game then interprets that input into a fighter identity, battle traits, and a place inside the roster.

Why the roster loop is important

The payoff is not only making one hero. It is building a lineup you actually care about, then tracking which creations become favorites, winners, or long-term keepers.
