Welcome to the SWRP, Zane! I'm Jiang, resident admin-in-training and faction leader. [Read as: the guy who steals all the twinkies from the staff lounge and never brews a new batch of coffee when he empties the carafe.]

If this is your first RP forum (then again even if it isn't) you should give a quick glance to the stickies in this board. That includes the "Guide to Roleplaying", the "Roleplaying Rules" and "Brandon Rhea's Guide to Roleplaying".

Once you're ready to make a character, I would certainly recommend using one of the character templates found in this thread; it's worth noting that the first template [aka: The Standard Profile Template] is easier to use at first. Mind you, the template isn't set in stone; you can change things around and omit things to make the profile your own. So long as it has fifty words of personality and fifty words of history, you're set. Also when creating your character and writing their history make sure you check out the Disallowed Species and the Disallowed Planets stickies; that way you don't get a tirade of members telling you what you have to change immediately. Also make sure you read The Story: The Hutt War thread and the Timeline of Galactic History. I would also suggest giving Grim's Guide to Not Making Crappy Characters a read, as it can be very helpful. Last but certainly not least, make sure to read the Timeline Technology thread so that you know what footing you're on in terms of weapons, ships, and other such tech.

Once you've got your character, if you do not want to sign them up to a faction, you can begin roleplaying straight away. Just remember these things and you should be fine. If you do want to join a faction, it's worth having a look at each, and reading all the stickies in the main faction threads:

Make sure to check out each faction and their subfactions by reading through their boards; if the main faction doesn't interest you, then perhaps one of its subfactions will! There are also a few independent factions which you can look up in The Independent Factions Board.

If you have any questions at all, you can PM myself or any other staff members. There's almost always one of us on, and we [usually] don't bite. So again, welcome to the SWRP, and enjoy your stay! =)
