If you are new to role-playing games, and you haven't already, we recommend you take a few minutes and read the [[What is a Role-Playing Game?]] page. It is a basic explanation of what this fun and challenging hobby is all about. | |||
If you've played an RPG before and feel comfortable, or you've read that page and you haven't run for the hills, then this page is where you begin the process of creating your alternate persona, your character. | |||
