In some cases having your true-name being hidden, such as with dwarves, you should choose your true-name at creation and the name to which you will go by in public you would 'set keyword <alias' once in game.

Race or Role

...


After naming your character, it is important to figure out what role and race your character will possess. There are several automated roles that are options depending on your RPP status.

...

After reading up on each race available to your RPP status you can decline it and go in a different direction if you are not excited with it. Similar goes with the roles below, you have the ability to read up each option and decline should you not want it. It is important to note that the boosts in each RPP role are best handled before commencing into game.

 


Physical Traits

Once you're all set on choosing a race, now it's time to choose the physical traits your character will have. You have several traits to fill out, which are: age, height, frame/build and attributes.

...

Your size will play a part in how you are seen from others. A dwarf will always see a human taller than they, though an elf will see a human as smaller. It is important to note this in character descriptions. More information on that is below.

Eyecolor is now a set category in character creation. You are limited to that which is below. You are welcome to expand upon it in your description but do note that if you deviate from the options below in said description your application may be declined. After picking a number in the options, you can specify with further options. Do note that option 6, mixed, is not solely heterochromia and in that can mean flecked, ringed, dappled, etc. 

*Note to Players: Please take the eyecolor of your race. Check out the documentation for said race before submitting as deviation outside the range of commonality may cause rejection of your application.
