I'm an experienced RPer looking to jump in the mix and get to writing! I love a fleshed out world like you folks seem to have, but I'll admit trying to wade in is daunting. Any recommendations on the best way to get started from a character concept perspective? I tend to enjoy low level characters that highlight the everyday life of a world. Was considering spinning up a droid character. Maybe an established character is in the market for a loyal attendant at best or obedient punching bag at worst?

Welcome to the site!

As for working on a character concept, ultimately that decision rests with you. There's a lot of very informative threads around, including the Approved Species List, the Factions and Organisations forum with all of its corresponding bells and whistles, and the Lore area with all of its information. It may seem like a lot to take in at first, but it's honestly not as daunting as it may appear to be. I would also highly recommend clicking on the "Story" drop down box in the website's header, because that will give you a pretty good look into the current state of affairs regarding the Sith and the Jedi, if you were planning on playing either of those.

As for your character, that's yours and yours alone to come up with! You can always join the Discord and get some feedback from folks, but I would probably recommend taking ideas and concepts from other media you enjoy, and try to give them your own unique twist.

Hello there, and welcome to The Force Eternal!

(Most of us just call it SWRP, but let's be honest, The Force Eternal sounds deliciously pompous.)

Hope you love it here as much as we do save us we are slaves to the system, and that you stay for a long, long time.

:)

In all seriousness though, you could totally create a droid character to RP with another established player. I actually think that's a fantastic idea, definitely a good way to get yourself going into the scheme of things. There are many directions you could go with that premise, and I'm sure you could find someone to team up with... If you have any trouble with that, I'd be happy to help find someone interested. ^^

Also, I'd second what @Nevermore said for sure. While I spent much of my earlier time on SWRP without access to the Discord server, I've found it definitely enhances the experience. Much easier to contact fellow RPers and get stories going, and it's just a generally fun place to be (as well as very helpful if you have questions)! Anywho, I look forward to seeing you around.

Feel free to shoot me (or @Faster Than Light, our resident Good Community Admin) a DM if you have any questions — everyone is pretty happy to help out~

Thanks Eden and Nevermore! I really appreciate the warm welcome. I can't say enough how impressed I am with the site and all the work and love that's clearly gone into it by staff and writers! I went ahead and joined the Discord and have already found it a source of info and hilarity.

As for the droid concept, you NAILED my thinking on it. A droid can be sort of an ancillary character to a more established mover and shaker in the overall game-world. What enterprising young Sith, Jedi or rowdy band of smugglers doesn't have need of a loyal Medical Droid? I'm just thinking up some personality quirks that would make the droid fun or interesting to play.

Also the relative restrictions of a droid char serves as a mechanism to 'dip my toe' in the water of the game world so to speak. I'm sure more ambitious characters will follow down the line. Again, thanks for the warm welcome and I may take you up on that offer to serve as a sounding board!
