Recruit Member
Recruit Member is a lightweight RPG Maker MZ plugin that replaces the standard "Add Actor" flow with a customizable recruitment presentation.
Instead of silently adding an actor to the party, the plugin can display a recruitment screen with text, fanfare, animations, and actor information.
The goal is simple: Make recruiting a new hero feel special.
Why?
By default, RPG Maker MZ simply adds an actor to the party: Change Party Member -> Add Actor
While functional, it does not provide much feedback to the player.
Recruit Member adds a short presentation sequence that can show:
- Actor name
- Actor sprite
- Custom text
- Fanfare (ME)
- Simple animations
- Custom positioning and appearance
This allows new heroes to feel like an important discovery without requiring complex eventing.

Actor Information
The plugin automatically reads actor data from the database:

No manual setup is required.
Optional Animations

- Spin
- Both (random Jump or Spin)
Custom Text

{id}
Example:
Line 1: New hero recruited!
Line 2: {name}
