This guide will help you create a character to play in the SARP.

Our goal is to help you get into the RP quickly and smoothly. Although you should read through the character creation guides and linked articles, much of the background and history presented in this wiki is not strictly necessary for creating a character. If the Star Army universe seems too big, just remember that you don't have to know everything to get started. Skip the intricate details as necessary and just focus on making a great character that you like and that makes sense. Don't stress the fine points too much; you can pick them up along the way as you roleplay. If there are some specifics you want to include, do so, but know that you might have to correct them if there's a clash with the established setting (historic events, etc).

It's okay to submit an imperfect bio so don't stress out trying to know everything. Since all characters are reviewed before approval, other members will get to see your bio and help you tweak your character if needed.

Tip: Make sure your faction has active plots running! Try to figure out what plot you're aiming for and build a character that fits.

Start with the Character Template open in a separate tab or window and fill it in as you go.

These are creation guides written specifically for given races.

Recommended for new players because these races have a wide playerbase and a variety of plots to choose from

	Creation Guide	Species	Faction	Description
	Create a Nekovalkyrja	Nekovalkyrja: NH-33 NH-29	Star Army of Yamatai (Yamatai Star Empire)	Exclusive to Yamatai's military, the Nekovalkyrja (pronounced Nay-ko-wul-ku-ree) are an artifical all-female warrior race of cat-eared that make up the bulk of the Star Army of Yamatai.
	Create a Yamataian	Yamataian: NH-31 NH-22 Geshrin	Yamatai Star Empire	Another artificial race (and cousins to the Nekovalkyrja), Yamataians make up most of the civilian populace but are also common in Yamatai's military.
	Create a Nepleslian	Nepleslian or ID-SOL	Star Military (Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia)	Nepleslians are mostly human, but might have mutant, alien, or ID-SOL DNA mixed in, as well as cybernetics. Mostly male, Nepleslians are known for their love of guns, alcohol, and pretty much vice in general.

Most species also have the option of joining origin_industries or being independent.

Why not try one of these smaller factions for your second character?
