	Setting up your character can seem like a daunting task at first, but if you take it one step at a time, it comes together quite fluidly. If you aren't familiar with Star Trek you may be at a disadvantage when it comes to knowing the species available, but the rest of it is basically determining who your character is and what its specialties are. There is also help available in the game for nearly everything (e.g. help ~~Vulcan~~).

	Every character gets a Character Sheet (@cs) that holds all their vital information. Yours will be mostly blank to start off with because you haven't filled it out yet. Some of the terms may not be familiar, but again help is only a few clicks away (e.g. help OCC). As you proceed through Character-Generation, that character sheet will fill in. Before you start though ask yourself a few questions: What kind of character do I want to play? What job/billet do I want? That second one may be tough because you don't know what is available. The best way to find out is to ask: =pub Hi, what billets are available? You can also try looking at the Phoenix roster to see what is available: @roster		Every character gets a Character Sheet (@cs) that holds all their vital information.

A billet, or job title, is what your character will be doing once it gets aboard the Phoenix. A full list of what is currently available can be attained through the @roster command in the game. There are typically positions available in every department, though some departments may be more occupied than others.

You can get more detailed information about a specific billet with the @roster/info command in the game. For example:

@roster/info junior systems engineer

What department you choose should ultimately be up to you, and what you want to play. If you can't see a billet that you think should be there, propose it the administration (@request).

== OOC Commands ==

The following are some of the more common OOC commands available on the game. The list might not be exhaustive, but if you discover a command that should be here, please let the admin know (@bug).
