## Character roster: pick one, or make one.
##
## Shown when the player has no character in the world -- at first login, and
## again when their last one dies. Permadeath makes this a screen players will
## see repeatedly, so dead characters stay listed rather than vanishing: seeing
## the run you lost is the point of keeping the record.
