Your Incarnoi is an individual sentient creature under your Atman. It is a complicated being, with a history, a system of morals, skills and knowledge. This page explains how to get to know them as a person, making roleplaying them and controlling them easier.

History and Physical Features
Name
Use `show name` to display the name of your Incarnoi. Your name is unique amongst every individual in the world and is used in all descriptions to identify you. People from the same homeland as you know your name, and will automatically refer to you by it. Others will refer to you by your race. You can use `report name` to say your name aloud, as a way of introducing yourself.
Race and Body
There are a lot of races of sentient beings that inhabit Lost Souls, many of which you may recognise from other works of fiction. Each race has genders that are appropriate to it, dimensions in the Lost Souls units, body parts and colourations. `examine me` or `look at me` will give a description of your Incarnoi. To see what body parts you have, `show limbs`. Races also have diets, which must be considered to keep your Incarnoi healthy. The size of your Incarnoi is shown by the dimensions of their body, and is also separated into categories of size for equipment, from diminutive to giant.
Culture and Homeland
Your history is defined by the culture and homeland that your Incarnoi comes from. Use `show culture` to display your culture. Each culture in the world of Lost Souls has cultural skills and knowledge that it imparts to it's members. Cultures also have general morals and usually only a section of all the races may come from a particular culture. A culture also has at least 1 and maybe more homelands, that your Incarnoi has been born and raised in, affecting where you start the game.
Morals
The morals of an Incanoi is a measurement of their position on 2 scales, 1 of good and evil, the other of order and chaos. Use `show outlook` to display your Incanoi's ethics and alignment. These change during play to reflect the actions of the Incarnoi, with alignment changing faster. An Incarnoi whose ethics and alignment are in agreement is more at peace with them self and more effective at all tasks.
Attributes, Skills and Knowledge
Attributes
The physical and mental abilities of an Incarnoi are represented by their attributes, a series of numbered statistics. `show attributes` will display the current status of all of your Incarnoi's attributes. For an adventurer, values of between 70 and 100 are good. Values less then 50 represent a significant weakness in that area.
Skills
Anything an Incarnoi can do is a skill. Skills are separated into categories and are each dependent upon an attribute. The full value or more of a skill's controlling attribute will be added to an attempt to use that skill, and other attributes may influence the skill. Other skills may also influence the chance of success with the primary skill. Use `show skills` to display a list of all the skills your Incarnoi knows and their level. Generally level 40 to 50 skills will succeed if you are not attempting a difficult task.
Knowledge
The world of Lost Souls is vast and includes many things to learn about. The set of all things that your Incarnoi knows is represented by their knowledge. If your Incarnoi has knowledge about a thing, they can identify it when they see it if it is a race, item or material, and they can learn and improve in it if it is a skill.
