This is where you will fill out some basic information about you as a player, about your character, and lock your character so only you and the Wiz staff can change things.
Fields
You will need to set the following information:
- This is your real life email, by which the Wiz staff can contact you. It will always remain private, unless you choose to put it in your +finger later.
- Unless instructed by staff, you will be Main, or Recurring. They are essentially the same thing, distinguished primarily by the player's real life online availability to role play. This label is only used by staff to help them balance and maintain a smooth story.
- Main Character: These are the core players, the people who log in every day, and who are involved in most plots. They are the ones who most of the stories revolve around.
- Recurring Character: These are players who can't log in regularly, or who, due to their IC position/assignment, only show up every so often. They are influential to stories, but they are not always required to progress the story or play key roles in its resolution. People who apply to play characters who do not serve on Redemption will be in this category automatically, as they'll only be able to play when their character happens to be nearby.
- Male - You're a boy
- Female - You're a girl
- Neutered - Other
- Your character's full name, in the format 'First Middle Last', where applicable.
- Your character's date of birth, in Terran (Earth) dates, formatted as <day> <first three letters of month> <year>. As example: 03 Feb 2355. Remember to factor in your Rank, Career and Race when determining how old to make your character. See Age for more information, including minimum age requirements for each Rank.

The chargen system already recognizes the following list of titles (use exact spelling), all of which you can learn more about by reading the Careers page.

- Where your character lives, or is stationed. For virtually all characters, this will be 'USS Redemption.'
- Any other names or previous names your character has used (if known by Starfleet). 'None' if you have no known aliases.
- Your mother's name ('First Middle Last', where applicable).

You set each field by typing '+cg/set <field>=<value>'.

Finger
The next thing you'll need to do is set up your +finger info. The following things can be set into your finger:
The first command sets the email address that is visible to all players in the 'Email:' field of the +finger. This is optional. To set it, type:
&EMAIL me=<Public Email>
The second command sets the hours that you are available for RP (if you have regular "office" hours). This is a straight text field and will accept anything you put in. Type:
&OFF-HOURS me=<Time's available>
The third command sets text into a note field which will appear in the +finger. If there is any note you want other players to read, this is where to put it. Some examples might include any RP preferences (such as no TS), any personal requests (like, "Please be patient, I'm English Second Language") or anything else you might want to share.
¬e me=<Note>
The last command sets the email address that is visible only to staff members. If you do not set a public email, we ask that you PLEASE set a True Email. This allows staff to contact you if there is an issue that involves your character or if the MUSH is experiencing downtime. Etc. Type:
&TRUE_EMAIL me=<Private Email>
Locks
The following things need to be set before you can go IC. They should be automatically set up when you create your character, but in case there is an error and they are not, please set them.
Type each of the following commands, making sure you use two equal signs.
@lock me==me
@lock/use me==me
@lock/enter me==me
The following has to be set manually.
@sex me=<your character's gender>
The @sex registers Male or Female
When finished, type N to go to the next room, Timelines.
