If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
2. Post an introduction topic in this forum! Feel free to:
Tell us about yourself and your tastes for RP
Ask any questions at all about the Star Army setting. We're happy to answer you!
3. The Character Creation Guide has information on making a character that perfectly fits the setting. Note that you don't have to create a character article to roleplay in the Open Roleplay forum.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes; it's how we learn best. Star Army is old, and it's big, but it's also still very accessible and welcoming to new members, so try not to let the site's age or the huge wiki intimidate you. If you're making an effort you'll make new friends very fast around here.
