When starting a new game, you will be presented with a series of questions which determine a few things in regards to the protagonist.

Question 1 lets you pick a date as Denam's birthday. This does not affect anything stat-wise, but should change the set of tarot cards you get for Questions 2 through 6. Or that may just be totally random.

Questions 2 to 6 decide which of Denam's base stats receive a boost, depending on your choices. Those who played the first Kingdom Hearts game should recall having encounterd something similar. This will be discussed in greater detail later.

Question 7 asks you to pick a goddess' blessing. There is one god for each element and your choice will decide Denam's elemental affinity. This increases the effectiveness of any gear bearing the same element. However, Denam will also be more vulnerable to attacks from the opposing element.
