Creating your character

To adventure in the realms of Icesus, you have to create a
character for yourself, whose actions you control. It is a
good idea to take the time to read all helps about all the
different options in the character creation process and to
choose carefully.

Names:

When first logging in, you are asked to supply a name for
your character. You can only use lowercase letters (a-z) in
the name, and it cannot be longer than 12 letters.

Icesus has a name policy which doesn't allow names
well-known from literature, movies etc to be used as names
for a character. Using actual english words (or words from
any other language) as a name is also disencouraged, as is
plain offensive or stupid names. If your name breaks these
rules, you will be asked by a administrator to change it and
your old character will be removed.

It might happen that you are asked for a password after
giving the name. This means someone else has already created
a character with that name. Pressing enter thrice will
disconnect you, so that you can re-connect and try another
name. Another possibility is that you are informed that the
name is 'banned'; this means an administrator has disabled
that name so that it cannot be used in the game.

Password:

You must give a unique password which you use every time you
log on to the game. Do not use an actual word as your
password, nor anything else that is easily guessable. The
best passwords consists of both uppercase and lowercase
letters mixed with numbers. You can change your password at
any time after creation with the 'passwd'-command.

Gender:

This is the gender your character will have in the
game. Choose whatever you like. It cannot be easily changed
later on, so be sure you choose what you really want.

Email & real name:

You will next be asked for a valid e-mail address and your
real name. This information can ONLY BE SEEN BY ARCHWIZARDS
OR HIGHER. No other players or wizards can see it. You do
not have to give these if you don't want to. However, if you
later forget your password or have similar troubles, the
administration can probably not help you if you haven't
given these. You can change this information at any time
after creation with the 'chfn'-command.

If you choose not to give this information, please do not
try to be funny and give 'humorous' names and
addresses. This is done constantly, and the administrators
have seen it all and are not amused.

Race:

You will now be moved to a room where you can choose your
race. Start by typing 'look', this will show you what commands
you can use in this room. Look at the information about each race
(ex 'info elf'), and find one which you like. Pay special
attention to its statistics and make sure you choose a race which
is suitable for the kind of career you want to pursue, if you
already have decided upon that. A mage would want a race with
good intelligence, while a fighter would need good strength and
constitution, and so on. When you have found a race you like,
type 'select <race>', ex 'select elf' to choose that race for your
character.

NOTE: also pay special attention to how good dark- and
light-vision the race has, and if they are allergic to water
or have other such impedements. Choosing a race with poor
vision or some allergy can make a beginning adventurer's
life much harder than it would have to be.

Once you have chosen a race to your liking, type 'continue' to move on.
You will still be able to return here until your creation is finished.

Backgrounds:

Next you will choose the background of your character in
several steps. You can read a more thorough explanation
about this by typing 'help backgrounds'. In short, your
choices here will affect your character in many ways, giving
bonuses both to her actual statistics and potential maximum
statistics, skills, spells, starting equipment etc.

In each part of the background-creation, you can use the
'info'-command to see information about the available
choices, and type 'back' to move to the beginning of the
current section of your background-creation. Typing 'back'
several times will eventually take you all the way to the
race- and element-selection. You choose one of the available
options simply by typing it.

When you get to the part where you can select jobs your
character performs before starting her adventuring career,
you can at any point type 'start adventuring' to start
playing. If not, you still will only be able to choose a set
number of jobs before you are forced to start
adventuring. The more jobs you choose, the older the
character is when she starts her adventuring career.
