Yawning, I drift off,
dreaming of video games,
while driving my car.
A hazy feeling
And a sharp bang just before
I'm fully asleep.
I don't often dream
of character creation
so this is quite strange.
A floating feeling
with darkness all around me
and blue menu screens.
I have points to spend,
two-hundred of them in all,
yet it's expensive!
Things like [Race:Human]
are a whopping hundred points;
One-fifty for dwarves.
The default setting
seems to be my own status,
as in real-life me.
Interesting dream.
The menus are responsive,
but where are my arms?
Disembodied me
is floating here all alone
yet I'm not too scared.
I sift through options:
Race, stats, skills, even gender
are all mutable.
I think it is best
to keep my gender male
but the rest can change.
First, to save some points,
let's change my character's race
to something cheaper.
Spiders, slimes, goblins. . .
there are a lot of choices
yet none of them fits.
Fantasy is mixed
with humans, dogs, birds, and such.
Too many options.
I have to wonder
what type of game comes after
this much player choice.
Scrolling through a list
of creatures I mostly know
I found a good one.
Totaling ten points,
and a hit with the ladies;
I pick a bunny.
With a soft popping
In the darkness before me
sits a cute rabbit.
I tweak some sliders
giving him red eyes, black fur,
and some white ear-tips.
Now I can move on
to customize skills and stats
which is the best part.
