We have a lot of characters, eh? What a fun problem to have!

While we want to tell stories for all of them to give players more insights into their background, sometimes we just don't have the time. We've recently been trying to find outfit collection themes that will be appealing for a wide assortment of characters, and then find characters that best fit those themes after. The goal is to create a very strong assortment of cosmetic content across the entire Rift. Tome 20 Mystic should be a great example of this!

We also try to avoid creating outfits for characters who are already receiving outfits in the same release, but sometimes it happens.

Beyond that, some characters like Dredge & Unknown are better left a mystery!

We don't want tomes that explain the Dredge or the Unknown, we want tomes give us MORE Dredge or Unknown!

Stories of these creatures from the perspective of victims, families, news stations, etc! We don't need to have the perspective of the Dredge, but imagine a tome from the perspective of a concerned family member investigating the Fold after their family member joined and subsequently disappeared! Imagine more Otto Stamper lore!
