Creating a Character

If you want to start roleplaying, you're going to need a character. Here are our simple steps to creating a character.

Creating your Character Page
First, you're going to need to create a page for your character.

1. To start, click on the icon in the top-right corner that says "Contribute".

2. A scroll-down screen should appear. Click on the button that says "Add a Page".

3. Next, you'll need to name your page. All character pages must follow a simple format: first type the name of your character, with a CAPITAL LETTER AT THE BEGINNING! Then, in brackets, put your username. Then press enter.

4. Now, you will be ready to add information. For a template of how to organize a character page, see here.

Creating the Character
Now we're ready to get to the fun part: Making your character!

1. Choose a species. There are a wide variety of sentients in the Freyja system, each with their own personality traits. To see a list of all the species visit the Sentients page, and read more about each species by clicking on their link.

2. Select a homeworld. The Freyja system is home to many planets, and most of them can be chose as your characters homeworld. Be certain to read about all of the different Planets before choosing your homeworld.

3. Finding an occupation. Your character needs an occupation, be it a petty thief or a mechanic for Kron Enterprises. Make up your own job, but make it realistic. Also state where this job is stationed.

4. Personality! We want to know how your character acts, what they're like. Your personality section can have anything

5. Backstory! Adding some history about your character helps to give it more depth and personality, but this is entirely optional. Who knows, a mysterious backstory of nothing might be more telling than anything you could possible write in words!

6. Give your character some possessions. What does your character own? This can be anything from a star ship to a hand wrench. You don't have to add everything that your character will own to this section, just try to add as much as possible and continuously update it. NOTE: This section is subject to revision by a moderator if it is too much. Make sure that you only start with a reasonable number and type of possessions.

Finalizing
Now you should be done. Press the "Publish" button to save your page, and then press the "Add Category" button at the bottom of your writing. Type in "Characters" (Minus the quotations) and press enter, then hit save. Now you're character is finished! Return to the Guide to Roleplaying for your next steps!

IMPORTANT: Characters may die and be replaced.
