35:45 - how to make the game send you into your new level after CC
38:09 - testing our new origin

Step by step:

1. Choose your victim (any NPC)
2. Copy to your mod
3. Place the character in the world and rename it (ideally to S_Player_Something) - make sure it's set to Global in sidebar
4. Add the character to the origin table
5. Add the character to the origins database (Story editor under "Start)
6. Add a recruitment dialog and script. A very simplified option would be the following:

IF
FlagSet((FLAG)shadarkate_recruited_9c61f533-8ba6-51e2-ad44-97d64d66eeb6, _, _)
AND
DB_Players((CHARACTER)_Player)
THEN
RegisterAsCompanion((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11, (CHARACTER)_Player);
PROC_AssignCharacterToPlayer((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11,(CHARACTER)_Player);
ClearTag((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11, BLOCK_RESURRECTION_22a75dbb-1588-407e-b559-5aa4e6d4e6a6);
DB_Players((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11);
DB_PartOfTheTeam((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11);
PROC_CheckPartyFull();
SetFlag((FLAG)ORI_State_Recruited_e78c0aab-fb48-98e9-3ed9-773a0c39988d, (CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11);
SetNoFollowFlag((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11, 0);
PROC_GLO_PartyMembers_AddHook((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11,(CHARACTER)_Player);
MakePlayer((CHARACTER)S_Player_ShadarKai_c984eaa5-47da-473e-8605-ecf1b049ba11, (CHARACTER)_Player);

7. Make sure the mod will send you into your new level after Character Creation by editing Z_Shared_CharacterCreation (under Z_Shared_Campaign_At_End)
//this is added in INIT
DB_CharacterCreationTransitionInfo("NAMEOFYOURLEVEL", "");
PROC_Shared_CharacterCreation_Init();
NOT DB_CharacterCreationTransitionInfo("","");

// this is changed in KB
PROC
PROC_GLO_CharacterCreationTeleportWithOptionalMovie((CHARACTER)_NewChar,(STRING)_LevelName,(STRING)_Movie)
AND
NOT DB_CharacterCreationNoTeleport(1)
THEN
TeleportPartiesToLevelWithMovie("NAMEOFYOURLEVEL","",_Movie);

NOTE: For each step, check the name! If the character has become S_Player_Something_000, rename back to S_Player_Something.
You want to use the ID for the the global character IN THE WORLD (aka your level), not the root template.

Congrats, you now have a freshly minted new origin character 1.0!
