Parafolks

Parafolk are the virtual people at the heart of Paralives. Build each one in the Paramaker, age them through 8 life stages, manage 12 needs, and watch 112 personality traits evolve through gameplay.

Every Parafolk starts in the Paramaker, a sliders-based character creator covering physical appearance, personality, and starting life stage. What you set there shapes a Parafolk’s behavior, emotional tendencies, skill learning speed, and social options for their entire life. Day-to-day life is driven by 12 needs that deplete over time and a personality system with 112 traits that evolve through gameplay into deeper sub-traits. Aging pace is a game setting - Short, Normal, or Long - so every playthrough can move at its own rhythm.
