Greetings,

My Name is Leon,
I'm a 23 m from the Netherlands,
looking for to roleplay one or more old rogue trader-characters.

The character I'd like to have some advice about:
Mohr Trytec. A 213year old male human-cyborg-mutant.
After a terrible accident in the labritory of his dad during his childhood,
his dna is mixed up with a few weird bacteria.
Origin: Earth, Human

A few likes:
- Machines
- Electronics
- Steel
- His way too heavy armour

A few Dislikes:
- Fighting
- Threatnings
- Someone who says something negative about his outfit

More information, skills and some pictures about him will be released later, depending on the rules of this game.

About the race;
Mohr is the only successfully mutated human-cyborg which has some advantages over the other people of his race.
2% of the population were trying to recreate those advantages, but they all failed.
90% are human-cyborgs 50-350 years old, where cyborg technology keems them alive to expand the lifespan.
8% are normal humans as we know it.

I got twoo questions:
- If I create a race, it will be judged by someone if it's okay, right?(so I can't make a stupid mistake)
- would my character be okay?

First of all: Hello and welcome to the apature... ehr FWURG.

Second: this is not really the place for character, race or faction approval. As far as I know.

Third: Remember this is star wars based, Earth does not exist.

Last: pro tip: read guides and a few existing topics on the IC forum to learn how we do things here, a few of the rules pages may also be of use.

Welcome to FWURG!

Though Dragonmaster is correct that character approval is done in the "System and Character Building" this is as good a place as any to discuss your ideas and get help from other players.

First let me answer your questions:

• If I create a race, it will be judged by someone if it's okay, right?(so I can't make a stupid mistake)
  Any race you create will need approval first, so at least one other person will look at it. We will help you to not make stupid mistakes :)
• would my character be okay?
  For one, it is true that Earth does not exist. However, in the Star Wars setting there's an awful lot of humans running around, so it is not strange that one of them is a cyborg (in fact, we have several cyborg races in the game already, and some of them are near-human).

It could be useful to do some reading about the Star Wars setting if you are not familiar with it. We have a little bit of information about the setting ourselves, but Wookiepedia is a very good inspiration. Note that we try to stay away from the iconic characters and places in the setting (so no Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, or Aylaa Secura :P)

Your character already sounds interesting, the trick is to find a way to fit him into the setting: It is possible to play only a single character in FWURG (usually that character is a Jedi then, but it can be a cool smuggler, or bounty hunter as well...), usually when people want to play a single character, they also start a Protectorate. This allows them to have a world on the map where their character hails from, and gives you a nice place to put some background information and a bit of description about your world as well.

(Hint: Starting with a protectorate also allows you to start participating in politics later on, if you want; this allows you to interact with the other worlds, and gives you a nice homeworld where your other characters can originate from as well.)

You could try to think up a world other than Earth that could be Mohr's home planet. Together, we can work out how to make this world part of the FWURG universe. You can also try and see what 'role' Mohr would have; the Star Wars univers comes with some cool roles out of the box (though you are free to do whatever you want). Could you envision him as a Jedi, or is he a smuggler, or soldier for hire?

If you can envision things like that, we can help you get started quickly!

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.


PS. Here's some resources to help you get started and to get an idea of what kinds of things we have in the game:

• Guides: the guides we have written so far, the cover simple topics and more advanced topics. If anything isn't in there, go ahead and ask!
• Union, a description of the government our worlds are part of.
• Characters, a list of the current characters. Go ahead and read some of their pages to get an idea of the kind of characters that are walking around in our game.

Hey Leon, Welcome to Fwurg :D

I could give you more info and text and examples, however let's not overflow you with information right away, I think Brend and Dragonmaster352 gave you enough for the moment ;). Of course if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask, there are no stupid questions! (But I figure you already knew that)

I am curious, where from the Netherlands are you, and how did you find FWURG? (If you don't feel like answering, you don't have to :).)
