Each child comes with a code (when) closed. This means the child won't show up on creation for the general public but if your friend gives you the code boom you are the child.

Now if someone leaves their child "open" soneone looking for a family with your tribe/skill/location specifics can join as the open child.

So if one were to recruit different players into their household, would they need to first have children before accepting members? It'd kinda suck if this was the only method, since it'd mean you'd have to wait a while for your friend to establish himself and have children.

Any idea whether you could adopt your friend's pre-created character?

The world exists long before we arrive in the scene. Each player will join an existing family. Some with siblings some with children of their own (called NTCs).

During expo players with bloodline and up packages will join and build out the world prior to actual launch. By the time the general population arrives there will be quite a few families to choose from.

Unless you start as a ward of the state you don't "create" a character. You pick an NPC already alive in the world with your chosen skills/stats and then get to alter their appearance within the constraints of their family genetics.

Alright, that makes a reasonable amount of sense. Thanks man.
