Character Creation

Character creation is the first step that any player takes when joining an online role playing game and is one of the most fun parts of the process. Your character biography lays the ground work for the character that you're going to play within the group. Over time your character biography will change a bit as new experiences are had and as you flesh out your character more through the (hopefully) years you play the character. As the first part of your adventure with this group your character biography will be reviewed by the Commanding Officer of the game that you choose to join. Try to avoid one word answers if possible as you are designing the character that you will be playing.

When you are ready to begin please visit our Join page.
