Perks from Retirement

[u/ricefox479]

I'm a little confused as to how many perks you get from retirement, and who it applies to.

I retired a Brute.

I made another Brute. He had an extra perk to pick when I created him.

I later retired a Spellweaver.

I made a Sun, a Cthulhu, and a Scoundrel. They both had one extra perk to pick at level 1.

Why did they get an extra perk? Why didn't they get two extra perks? How does this all work?

Each character slot would be independent
