Main Character

Selection
Players can choose a main character from four different positions. Two of which are gods, each representing a facet of either continued evolution or a repeated cycle of destruction and creation. The third is a druid who wishes to maintain the natural order of the current world, seeking neither evolution nor destruction and recreation of the current world. The final one is a regular denizen without special abilities, selectable from the Gallery.

Gameplay
Each god and the druid have unique abilities and traits that will influence gameplay, and while most units are available to the player regardless of who you choose, some units become easier or harder to acquire, and some Uniques aren't available to all. Whichever characters the player does not choose will be opposing the player in story missions, with their unique flavor of units and abilities.
