In Alliance games, YOU create a character concept for a fantasy story and actually play the character. It is much like improvisational theater in that you have a framework created by the props and supporting characters and must develop your part as you progress through the story line.

Your character’s attitudes, ambitions, and history are yours to define. If the adventurous life is your calling, you may play the part of a wanderer, meeting with some friends in the tavern. Perhaps your party will get hired by a farmer in desperate straits, and spend the afternoon slaying a foul necromancer and his undead abominations. If the epic life is not your style, then you can play the part of a town merchant.
