Hey everyone. I'm new to this site and game. I dowloaded the game last night and noticed a character was already made for me. O_o Was that suppose to happen? I also tried makeing a new character and noticed the different races. I also noticed the ages your character can be. What is the ages about? If I choose a younger age, some of my character stats will level up higher than if I was older? Please help. I would like to start playing soon. haha.

inb4 Welcome :ran_luffy:
And I don't think you should have a pre-made character.
For the race, pick human, since if you pick human, you can obtain a elf and giant card.
And for age, you can rebirth (Restart your level and age, keep your ap and skills *RB IS GOOD) at age 20. People choose younger ages for looks or certain age stats, while others choose the age 17 so they can rebirth more often.

A character was already made for you? That's odd. That isn't supposed to happen.
The three races are humans, elves and giants. Usually, each player has a favorite race that they use as their main, since each race has a specific specialty, although this is pretty much a class-free game.
Characters age one year every real-life week. Older characters have better stats upon creation, and younger characters gain more stats upon aging. The wiki has charts for all three of the races that show stats for aging and leveling:
Character - Mabinogi World Wiki
If you plan on deleting that random pre-made character and creating your own, I suggest going with human, since they're the most mold-able, and you can get free elf and giant cards. I also suggest starting at age 17, unless you have the money to pay $8 for a rebirth each week. By starting at age 17, you only have to wait 3 weeks for your free rebirth at age 20.

Unless it's a Character Card, there should not be anything in the character selection screen when you first log in.
Also, welcome to MabiNation! :D (Always nice to have new members for MORE SACRIFICE TO SENTIENT FUNGUS!)
Ages - Your character ages every Saturday at 12 PM Pacific time or something. The older your character is, the bigger the model and hitbox. The younger, the less starting stats you have and smaller your hitbox and model. Leveling up in certain ages increases a specific stat more than the others, such as Strength for age 10 and Intelligence for 15 or something, and Luck or Will for 17.
Races are Elf,Giant, Human. I recommend making a Human, so you can get two free character cards for an Elf AND a Giant. Also, Humans are the most versatile (can go in any skill direction) and their tutorial teaches you the very basics of the game.

If I were you, I'd delete it. You'll have to wait until 7am PST tomorrow to play, but at least you'll be able to choose your looks.

Welcome to Hell. Note that your Free Character Card after deleting your human is able to get Premium looks(the hairstyle/eye/mouth icons with a star in them), so don't feel limited to Free looks(which don't have a star on their icon). However, getting an Elf and Giant Assistant card will only have the basic looks. I suggest making an entirely new account and start on that one to reduce your waiting time, and it seems odd that there would be a character already on your account, so you might potentially be at risk for being hacked.

Were there any other questions you had about the game?

OK... I deleted the character that was already made and I tried to make a new character. IT would let me. Said I need to buy a new character card. So I canceled the character creation and canceled the deletion of the one that was already made for me...

You have to wait until 7am PST tomorrow for the character to be deleted. This is actually a really good function, since it keeps characters from accidentally being deleted. If you want to play now, make a new account like Shanghai said.

Seeing this made me remember how much of a nasty learning curve this game has.

Welcome :ran_luffy:
It was an actual character and not a character card? When I first played japanese mabi I saw my card there and wanted to log in with it and got all angry.
