# Theriapolis — Character Creation Interface A 7-step character creation wizard prototype, designed in the style of an illuminated codex. Built as a static React-via-Babel prototype so it can be opened directly in a browser with no build step. This README is written for Claude Code (or any developer) to integrate the interface into a real game codebase. ## What this is A clickable, fully-interactive character creator covering: 1. **Clade** — broad mammalian family (Canidae, Felidae, etc.) 2. **Species** — specific species within the clade 3. **Calling** — character class 4. **History** — background 5. **Abilities** — ability scores via standard array or 4d6-drop-lowest, drag-and-drop assignment with swap 6. **Skills** — class skill choices on top of background-locked skills 7. **Sign** — name + final review Plus a floating sidebar that summarizes the character as it's built, and a Tweaks panel for runtime theme/density/font experimentation. ## Stack - **React 18.3** loaded from a CDN as `
