Why do I spawn as kakashi? Donator Ranks?

[Lussuria]

As I asked in the title, why did I spawn as Kakahi? Can I chose what to spawn as or currently no?
Also what do the donator ranks do?
What do I get from them?

Kakashi is a placeholder character while we work on our character customization system. In the next update Kakashi will get replaced by a more generic ANBU, which will eventually get replaced by a customizable character once we finish our character customization system. Besides donations helping the project go forward, they give the donator access to early content and some other exclusive stuff during this phase of early development (at the moment both versions are the same though). The higher your donator rank, the more early and exclusive stuff you will have access to during the early phase of development. Additionally anyone of donator rank Sennin or higher gets a custom animated icon and color on the forum. Last but not least, once SLO gets released, your total donated amount will be rewarded in SLO Premium Credit for use in the SLO Premium Shop. The SLO Premium Shop will have all kinds of exclusive items and cosmetics which people will be able to buy with real money, without it being Pay 2 Win. This shop will allow SLO to be completely Free to Play resulting in a lot more people playing the game.

1. You spawn as kakashi because thats the basic model for now. (In deathmatch there will be character creation)
2. Donators get earlier access to content that still has to be released to non-donators, Thats how the developer thanks the donators.
3. At the moment you get nothing from being a donator.
