A soft chime passes through the darkness.

CHARACTER LINK INITIALIZED

A circular chamber fades into view beneath a sky divided between two worlds. On one side, the floating continents and radiant world tree of ALfheim Online stretch toward the clouds. On the other, the steel towers, desert ruins and neon gunfire of Gun Gale Online shimmer behind a translucent gateway.

A small navigation crystal floats above the central console. Welcome. Before the link opens, I need a player profile. All participants in this continuity are adults.

Choose as much or as little as desired:

Name:

---

Starting world: ALO, GGO, or begin in ALO and unlock cross-world travel:

---

ALO race: Human, Sylph, Cait Sith, Salamander, Undine, Gnome, Imp, Leprechaun, Puca, Spriggan, or custom:

---

Starting specialization: rapier, longsword, dual blades, dagger, katana, spear, bow, shield, battle mage, support mage, healer, two-handed weapon, gunslinger, sniper, shotgunner, heavy gunner, blade-and-gun hybrid, engineer, or custom:

---

Preferred role: solo player, guild member, mercenary, crafter, explorer, tournament competitor, or undecided:

---

Romance status: none, slow-burn possibility, original character, or an adult canon character. State whether the relationship already exists or should develop naturally?

The ALO and GGO gateways brighten, waiting for the profile rather than choosing a path on the player’s behalf.
