<p>Creation of Your First Character page. Copied from https://github.com/ss14Starlight/space-station-14/blob/545612f67b228448c86c92b6df14da55cb7be9b2/Resources/ServerInfo/Guidebook/NewPlayer/YourFirstCharacter.xml</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> ===The Captains and the Clowns===<br /> This is a guide for editing your character&#039;s appearance. Make sure you read Character Creation first.<br /> Upon creating your character, you may be intimidated by your vast range of options.<br /> <br /> It&#039;s okay to make your first character [[randomized]] and roll with it, even experienced players do it.<br /> Making your first character doesn&#039;t have to be precise, either. You can [[wing it]] and see what happens.<br /> <br /> If you&#039;d like to be [[methodical]], though, creating a character is easy to do one step at a time.<br /> <br /> ==Choosing a Species==<br /> Most species have minor differences, which you can read about under the [[Species]] entry.<br /> However, you may find that it&#039;s easier to make your first character as a human, moth, dwarf or reptilian.<br /> <br /> This shouldn&#039;t discourage you from getting creative with your character, though.<br /> <br /> This guide will assume you are creating a human, but the process is similar across all species.<br /> <br /> ==Minor Characteristics==<br /> These include:<br /> * Age (18-29 for young, 30-59 for middle-aged, 60+ for old)<br /> * Sex (your sprite, as seen by toggling &quot;Show clothing&quot;)<br /> * Pronouns (what the game will refer to you as)<br /> * Skin color (may be a slider or RGB depending on species)<br /> * Eye color (RGB)<br /> * Hair color (RGB)<br /> <br /> These are minor changes and have little effect on gameplay. This is what players will read when they [[examine you]]. (&quot;young man&quot;)<br /> <br /> ==Hair and Facial Hair==<br /> Again, you may be intimidated by the vast range of options. That&#039;s okay.<br /> <br /> [[Take your time with it.]] You can skim or click through each of the options and find which one you like.<br /> Sometimes it&#039;s easier to set your desired hair color before looking at the options.<br /> <br /> If you really can&#039;t decide, some popular haircut options include Floorlength Bedhead, Modern, Buisness, CIA or simply bald.<br /> Alternatively, [[randomize]] a separate character and see what kind of haircuts they&#039;re rocking with. Suprise yourself.<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t feel obligated to use any of these, though.<br /> <br /> ==Markings==<br /> Markings range from [[scars and snouts]] to [[tattoos and tails]].<br /> Think of them like [[accessories]] that are a part of your body, for giving your character some extra flair and uniqueness. They cannot be changed during the round.<br /> <br /> Some species have more marking options than others. Humans are more limited in terms of markings than moths or reptilians.<br /> <br /> You can have a set number of markings in each &#039;[[category]]&#039;, as seen at the top. For example, reptilians can have one chest marking but two markings on the top of their heads.<br /> These are [[cosmetic]] and have no effect on gameplay.<br /> <br /> ==How to stand out==<br /> Memorable characters are usually remembered for their personality, their deeds and their [[robustness]], but that doesn&#039;t mean you have to be some sort of hotshot.<br /> <br /> Don&#039;t sweat having a big, flashy and memorable character. Make your own story that you&#039;ll be remembered for.</div>
