You can be anyone you want to be (With the exception of a superhero with god like powers). New Aurora has thousands of mobs (NPC's) in countless gangs, groups, sects, cults, businesses, etc. You name it, and there is a group for your character. So why not become a greater part of Iconoclast?

Identifying with a group is one of the first stages of human development. From their first days in school, even little children separate into differing groups, finding identities for themselves and each other. A good first step for creating your character may be to identify with one of the many groups within New Aurora. Is your character a bratty teen? Maybe he'd make a good ollie. Is he a stoner? Try the druggies on bourbon street. Maybe you're a displaced shifter who loves animals. Have
you considered being a walden?

All of these are just suggestions, of course, and certainly you are free to identify solely with yourself or other groups of players. But, if you find yourself stuck for inspiration, the Iconoclast world offers tons of inspiration and data in every mob.
