I’ve been doing a lot of under-the-hood code work for implementing character stats and rules and such. However the main visible thing I did recently was this popup window when the player starts a game:
This is just programmer art right now, but shows the functionality. Type in a name for the character, while a portrait gets selected based on your race and gender. Finally, your stats are assigned based on the chosen class. For this first game using this system the only classes are warrior or wizard, but I intend to have more classes in future games.
