Roleplaying is one of the focal points of Lusternia, and because of this keeping things in-character is crucial. If you are out of character, likely people will tell you to stop speaking insanely - once you step into the shoes of your character, the computer, the 21st Century, none of that exists. Some players find it easiest to come up with a description of who their character is and to write things down to keep track.

Roleplaying is one of the focal points of Lusternia, and because of this keeping things in-character is crucial. If you are out of character, likely people will tell you to stop speaking 'insanely' - once you step into the shoes of your character, the computer, the 21st Century, none of that exists. However, there are OOC or Out of Character channels for asking questions as needed, especially technical aid, but immersing yourself in the world of Lusternia can be a rewarding experience.
 
To start out, some players find it easiest to come up with a character profile including a description of what their character looks like and basic details like their general personality and rough outline of their history or background.
 
Having a basis for why your character is where they are, how they came to be, and what they look like are good foundations. But remember, this is a dynamic and living world, you want a good foundation without having to rewrite your own history as your character grows. You might find your family, mothers, fathers, siblings, or realize your race was not what you wished.
 
Ultimately, your paths are only limited by your imagination, examples of potential outcomes:
* A reknowned and undefeated combatant
* A masterful chess player
* A famous writer, playwright, or director
* A well-respected guild or city/commune official
* A master tradesman or woman
* A historical expert
* A faithful devotee of a Divine forming a unique bond
* A demigod or demigoddess!
* ...and much more!
