Creating a Character
First, connect to the MUSH. Then, when you reach the connection screen, type create X Y where X is your character's name and Y is your character's account password. Don't worry: If you decide that the name needs to change later, while in game type @name me=X where X is the new name for the character.
After creating your character, you'll find yourself in the OtherSpace character setup area. This provides your introduction to the game and its systems. Please read the room descriptions and follow the directions provided. Some rooms have objects in them that provide further information. You can type look X where X is the name of the object you're trying to look at in the room.
Early in the process, you'll be informed about the various races that are open for applications. Be advised that it might be more beneficial for a totally new OtherSpace player to consider one of our special offer humans. Every month, we add a new possibility for human characters that are pulled through time-space rifts from Earth and dropped on Comorro Station. Taking this option means you don't need to know all the evolving lore of the game to get started.
Once you've finished the introduction, all you have to do is step onto the grid and you'll find yourself aboard Comorro Station - our central roleplaying hub. It is not necessary to submit a biography to begin playing your character. However, if you do not submit a biography, your character cannot receive Roleplaying Points to spend on improving your +sheet and, if you drop out of RP mode, you cannot return to the grid until the bio is submitted and approved.
Biographies must at least be 250 words long. They are submitted using our +str system (+str/help). NOTE: Approval of a biography means you're eligible to receive the usual outlay of Saga Points so that you can begin the +sheet development process. However, it is not necessarily absolute approval of the concept. Staffers are human and they make mistakes. So, when someone submits a biography that says their Tupai has ubertelekinetic powers and a staffer approves it without recognizing how wrong that detail might be, it does not mean that the Tupai gets to be ubertelekinetic. Staffers may ask for changes after approval to prevent clashes with established lore or direct conflicts with how the skill system functions.
We try to respond to biography submissions with 48 hours after they are received.
Setting Up Your +Sheet
Most new characters receive about 200 Saga Points to spend on skills after approval.
This may not be enough to get all that you think your character ought to have right off the bat, but it should provide a good start. Don't worry: If you're active, you'll have opportunities to earn plenty of points down the road.
Type +sinfo for the main menu of the skill system. Type +skills to see the various categories. Type +skills X where X is the chosen category to see the list of skills under that category. Type +sinfo X where X is the chosen skill to see information about what a skill does, what prerequisites it might have, and how much it will cost to raise it.
If you type +sheet you'll see your basic attribute and skill setup, along with any Gifts, Faults, or Quirks that are native to the race you're playing. Want to spend some SP improving skills? Use the +raise X to Y command, where X is the attribute name and Y is the level.
A more detailed skill guide can be found here.
