Profile System

When entering the game, you must select an existing profile or create a new one.

Profiles are not automatically linked to characters. You must manually select the correct profile whenever you switch characters.

Deleting a profile removes its progression data from the active profile list. A recovery backup is created for supported deletion operations.
