Playable characters (those that can be added to the player squad) can be created from the Game Content Editor

Simply press the “+” button when in the Character tab. This will bring up a Character creation tool.

In the new window, give your character an name, pick a location in your project (outside of the RetroJRPG folder) and save.

This will create a basic character with all the needed prefabs pre-setup.

You can add this character to the initial squad as explained here: Initial Squad, Items & Attributes or add it from visual scripting as explained here: New Team Members
