Welcome to the Star Army roleplaying community! I'm thrilled to have you join us and we hope you have a fantastic time exploring the sci-fi setting.
The "Robot Buddy" vibe sounds like a super fun character concept! Robots can indeed add an exciting dynamic to any story (like, with the whole "what does it mean to be human/a person dynamic), I'm excited to see what you come up with. Don't hesitate to reach out me to other players here or on the Discord channel if you need any inspiration or want to collaborate on character development.
Reading the relevant topics, rules, and lore is a good approach to familiarizing yourself with the setting. The more you delve into the information, the better equipped you'll be to create immersive and engaging stories within the Star Army universe. That said, don't fall into the trap of feeling like you have to know everything in advance. I recommend just hopping into some RP (open RP threads are great for this) and experience the universe from within.
Enjoy your time here and have a blast roleplaying! And I'm here to help if you have any questions or need assistance along the way.
