All newly created player character _Actors_ (which is what Foundry calls them) start at Level 0. In this stage the GM (or anyone with enough permissions) can set up the artwork, token graphics, vision, etc. In order to get to Level 1 to start playing the Game you need to click the _Character Setup_ button, just in front of the Level display on your character sheet:

This will open the Character Setup window:

## Ancestry
You will be guided through the character creation process. At first, you have to select your Ancestry. Clicking the big _Select Ancestry_ + button opens the default compendium for ancestries, where you can just drag it onto the empty spot. If you have additional compendiums with (custom) ancestries you can manually open them and drag the ancestry onto the window from there.

The Ancestry Name is filled in automatically from the ancestry option you choose. However, you can change it to a custom name as well, which is especially useful for the mixed ancestry option:
You can also click the _Mixed Ancestry_ button for combining two existing ancestries into a new one. You can give that ancestry a new name and drag in two different ancestries, and then choose which ancestry features you want to keep from each base ancestry.

## Community
In the next option you will choose your community. The same rules apply: the default SRD compendium will open automatically, but you can manually choose any other source for a community option.

The Equipment works similar to the previous sections, where you have to make choices based on the available compendium items.
It will show you your Domain Cards at the top of the window and then provide options to select Armor, a Primary and Secondary Weapon as well as Starting Items.

You can drag the suggested Armor and Weapons into the Fields above them, or click the Selection Fields to make your own choices.
Below you also see your starting Items to the left, and to the right you have to make two choices:
Either a Minor Health Potion or a Minor Stamina Potion, and one of the two class-item options.
