All players connect initially as a Guest character on XMR. Guests are invited to read over the news files, chat with players and staff, and have a look around. Once you're ready to apply for a character, you will need to know that there is no 'character generation' by any traditional sense of the phrase.
Character generation is done via the application. Whatever is on the application at the time of approval goes right onto your shiny and new character on the game. When you then logon to that character, you are just about ready for game-play. You will have to go through a single room which will guide you through setting +finger and team information. Beyond that, you can just hop into roleplay the moment you are out of that room.
You will need no staff approval beyond the web application approval, save for any upgrades and updates later on after some time and roleplay.
So make your application count. Dot your i's and cross your t's. Make sure you cover all the details you want to cover. Once on-game, you will not be able to add anything to your +char sheet until you have roleplayed enough to have earned enough Brownie Points for an upgrade/update to your character, so think things through before hitting submit. You never know if you'll be approved in the first try!
