| - | **The GM team would appreciate if all characters could be submitted before 23:59 Tuesday 0th Week (18th April), but you're still welcome to contact us to create a character if you find the wiki after this time. ** | + | **Even though the game has already started, you're still welcome to contact us to create a character if you want to join in. ** |
| ===== Who are you? ===== | ===== Who are you? ===== | ||
| The first thing to think about is to ask yourself what sort of character you want to be: a guns-blazing armed robber who got a little too daring with their latest bank heist, an expert hacker who drew too much attention to themselves, a Tel politician who was captured in battle, an innocent bystander who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or many other concepts. The possibilities are nearly endless. | The first thing to think about is to ask yourself what sort of character you want to be: a guns-blazing armed robber who got a little too daring with their latest bank heist, an expert hacker who drew too much attention to themselves, a Tel politician who was captured in battle, an innocent bystander who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or many other concepts.

| + | There are only a few limits to what your character can be. You must have been convicted of a crime that got you sent to the Redemption Reform Facility and you must be from the Elysian Empire (or a member of the Tel with the appropriate [[qualities|quality]]). | ||
| Having a solid idea of who your character is and what their goals are can be really helpful to get the most out of a society game, as it helps you know how they will react when faced with hardship, and gives you something to work towards if you are struggling to find things to do. | Having a solid idea of who your character is and what their goals are can be really helpful to get the most out of a society game, as it helps you know how they will react when faced with hardship, and gives you something to work towards if you are struggling to find things to do. | ||
| - | You will also need to come up with a character name, and a background of what your character was up to before the start of the game. | + | ===Background=== |
| + | Once you have decided about these details, you will need to sum them up in the form of a background. This will only be visible to you and the GMs. This doesn't have to be too long((and indeed if it is above 500 words we may ask you to shorten it for the benefit of GM reference)), but it should give us (the GMs) a sense of your character, and importantly cover any details that are important to your character that may not be obvious from the [[Qualities]] and [[Criminal Profile]] on your character sheet. | ||
| + | Note that while you are a member of Work Group Zero, your character will not know what the selection process is for this work group, so you will not need to justify in your backstory how you ended up as part of it (although your character is more than welcome to speculate on this matter). | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Gangs === | ||
| + | If your character is in any gangs, specify which, and whether you are doing anything underhand (i.e. lying, bribing) to get in. There may be options to be in multiple gangs, but you will have to provide an explanation for how your character makes this work. | ||
