[@Gisk] Hi there! If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that your character is summoned suddenly into the game. All characters originate from alternate planes of existence, and have appeared here in this unfamiliar world. [@t2wave] has just now joined the game, you could check out the latest mod post and their first post to get an idea what's happening with new characters. :)

If that's not what you were asking, you may have to expand upon the question. :)
