Character creation

The first thing you must do before setting out on an adventure is to create your own character. The basics of creation will take you about half an hour; determining the background and personality can take longer.

In total, character creation includes:

— Choosing gender

— Choosing a name

— Choosing a race and special abilities

— Height, weight and age

— Creating a background

— Choosing personality and appearance

— Determining contacts

— Determining attributes

— Training

Character gender

Choose whether you want to play a man or a woman.

Playing the opposite gender can be a tougher nut to crack than playing a completely alien or differently thinking race. Only advanced players should attempt it, so that they do not come across merely as men in women's clothes (and vice versa). You must realize all the ways men and women think differently, and even so you will probably not succeed.

Character name

A name is very important for a character. It lets you distinguish yourself from your characters, and your character gains individuality. The name should "fit" into the world you play in, to better complete the atmosphere; silly or nonsensical names can spoil the game for you.

If you want to address another player's character, use the character's name, not the player's.
