# 08 — Character Systems
**Status: Draft**
- **Scope (Batch 1 seed):** Native player character lineage and discovered Blueprint child paths only. No per-character ability inventory yet.
- **Inspection method:** Native C++ + `search_subclasses` path listing.
- **Last updated:** 2026-07-16
- **Current phase:** Phase 1 — Static Architecture
- **Last completed pass:** Pass 2 (Batch 1)
- **Next pass expected to contribute:** Batch 2 Pass 3 (hierarchy), Pass 5 (base deep dive); Batch 3 Pass 6 (per-character)
## Draft tracking
### Completed sections
- Native parent chain for players
- InitAbilityActorInfo / HUD overlay hook
- Exact Blueprint subclass paths for five playable classes + base
### Pending sections
- Components, weapons, AnimBP, inputs, abilities per character
- Shared vs duplicated Blueprint behavior
- Interface BPI_PlayerCharacter
### Evidence still required
- Full Blueprint variable/graph inventory (Batch 2+)

## Native player chain
`ACharacter` → `ARIRBaseCharacter` → `ARIRPlayerCharacter` → (Blueprint) `BP_PlayerCharacterBase` → `Player_*`
**Observed Implementation:** Players do not create ASC on the pawn; ASC lives on `ARIRPlayerState`. Character caches ASC/AttributeSet pointers after possession / PlayerState replication.
---
## Playable Blueprint paths (seeds)
| Character | Asset path |
|-----------|------------|
| Base | `/Game/_Main/Blueprints/Characters/PlayerCharacters/BP_PlayerCharacterBase` |
| Paladin | `/Game/_Main/Blueprints/Characters/PlayerCharacters/PlayerCharacterClasses/Paladin/Player_Paladin` |
| Amazonian | `/Game/_Main/Blueprints/Characters/PlayerCharacters/PlayerCharacterClasses/Amazonian/Player_Amazonian` |
| Cleric | `/Game/_Main/Blueprints/Characters/PlayerCharacters/PlayerCharacterClasses/Cleric/Player_Cleric` |
| Wizard | `/Game/_Main/Blueprints/Characters/PlayerCharacters/PlayerCharacterClasses/Wizard/Player_Wizard` |
| Gunslinger | `/Game/_Main/Blueprints/Characters/PlayerCharacters/PlayerCharacterClasses/Gunslinger/Player_Gunslinger` |
**Naming note:** Use `Player_Amazonian`, not `Player_Amazon`. Default-attribute GE folder uses `Amazon` naming (calibration) — naming ambiguity for Batch 4/7.
**Known runtime baseline (Observed Runtime Behavior from project brief, not re-tested):** Amazonian melee works; most abilities inactive; Gunslinger incomplete — Existing Baseline Defects, not migration regressions.
