Believe Online

Believe Online is a game of many aspects and has many different ways in which you are able to play the game. The game is much like an everquest or ultima online and consists of many types of non combat and combat skills ranging from carpentry to herblaw and many other skills.  The game also contains a wide variety of quests to involve yourself in and grab some loot or a little added bonus to some skills. 

      The game starts out with a character select screen where you can choose many things such as Your race with many options such as...

After you have chosen those you are able to choose your age, gender,facial features and many otehr things to modify you character to your exact likings.

Next you are given the option of distributing 20 points into your attributes which consist of
