Features:
- Stats, weapons, armor, rings and spells are based on the actual in-game NPCs data (bosses though have none unfortunately).
- Face of the character will be exactly the same as the NPCs (when it is available).
- Gwyn sword permanently shows the fire effect and does a bit fire damage.
- You get 1-2 mid game gestures for every NPC-based character (for example Praise the Sun for Solaire).
- You get 3 items for online play: white & red soapstones and red orb.
Known limitations:
- The mod for English language only.
- All characters start at high or mid soul level, so they are hugely OP for early game. But at the late game it should be fine, since all character stats a balanced to have 82-85 stat points at SL1.
Installation instructions
A) UDSFM (video)
- Download my files and unpack them.
- Create a back up of your Dark Souls folder.
- Unpack your Dark Souls using UnpackDSForModding mod.
- Pick a character set you need (see above).
- Copy all content of the corresponding DATA_Set[X] folder of mine to DS DATA folder and replace files when prompted.
- Launch Dark Souls via Steam.
B) DSDAD (video)
- Download my files and unpack them.
- Download Drag and Drop mod Manager (DSDAD), launch it and tell it where your DS1 folder is.
- Pick a character set you need (see above).
- Go to the corresponding DATA_Set[X] folder of mine and it's subfolders and Drag and drop both 2 files to DSDAD window. Do not drag subfolders themselves!

I've never heard anybody been banned in PtDE for game modifications, so feel free to play online.
Compatibility
It's compatible with most of the mods, since you can install the mod, create a character, and then install another mod to play with the character. The only exception is Gwyn's Sword fire effect, for it you need my GameParam file.
If you think that my work is worth it, and want to encourage me: here is my donations link. (language can be switched in the right bottom corner)
Also, check out other mods of mine:
- NG+ Infinite - removes difficulty cap, which game has at NG+6 and adds 12 quality of life items.
- Double Trouble (for DS: Remastered) - duplicates enemies.
- Enchanted Edition - brings various additional effects to all armor sets.
- Pure Darkness - the fire fades and only dark remains.
- Specialized Classes (for DS: Remastered) - so your starting class choice matters.
