New alt badges awarded at birth?

[Jacktar]

Hi guys, just rolled a new alt and was happily surprised at the stack of badges it was awarded when I arrived at the steps below Ms Liberty.

So got me wondering just how many badges it would be possible to have a new alt awarded at that stage.

I had about 6 or 7 but am sure there must be many more possible.

Any clues or numbers would be interestingly received 🤔🤔👍

Thanks

A couple of AE badges, Passport, and I think that is about it. I've got close to 1500 badges on my main and the same thing happens when I roll an alt on the same server.

Passport is no longer awarded on creation, it's now tied to the Long Range Teleport Accolade.

 

I think the only badges that award on creation are VIP/Destined One/Praetoria's Son/Daughter and a select few Architect badges that I think are for having published and rated arcs.  Anniversairies can also add one more, a new badge is awarded every May while Pursuer/Elusive is awarded in November to anyone who logs in during those months.

 

Back on live servers though there were so many Veteran badges (plus Pocket D VIP Gold Club Member was an account-wide badge too) that my new characters usually started with around 30.  Even after converting vet rewards to the token rewards I still started with a significant chunk.  Kind of funny having the Collector title on during the Galaxy or Precinct 5 tutorials.

There are 5 AE badges that are linked to your account that one you've earned them each character will get them on creation.
