There aren't very many rules about characters, except the age limit: PCs
must be 16 or older. You can @emit younger NPCs as much as you like.
Aside from that, when creating your character, consider these questions:
- What about my character will provide openings to interact with others?
Shy characters are notoriously hard, as are people who hate everything
about everybody. But you don't have to be a busybody to have an opening.
- What makes my character truly different from everybody else?
Consider a strange interest, an odd hobby, a personality quirk that
you've never seen anybody play before.
- What am I going to do once I get out there?
What do you expect to be roleplaying this time next year? Have a few
basic plans. But be flexible if things change once you're out there.
- What does my area need?
Members of a certain craft? Straight men? A particular personality
type? Short guys? Someone who looks different? If this is an alt,
look around, take inspiration from the place you're in.
And if you need any help, just talk to someone on Approval Staff.
