# Character Creation

Before you can start roleplaying, you should create your Character. There's a few things you must keep in mind before creating your character:

* Your character must be human.
* Your character must have a realistic appearance. 
* Your character cannot be shorter than 4'5" or taller than 6'5".
* Your character must be unique, they can't be a celebrity or existing character.

***

## Roleplay Name

Firstly, you'll need a **first** and **last name** for your character. You'll do this with the command **/rpname**.

If you're having trouble choosing your own Roleplay Name, try using an online [Name Generator](https://namegen.jp/en).

{% hint style="info" %}
Your Roleplay Name is what other players will see above your head.
{% endhint %}

## Character Description

Next, you'll need to think about your character's appearance which you'll set using **/setdesc**. You can include things like:

* Your character's height.
* Your character's hair colour and style.
* Your character's eye colour.
* Your character's scent.
* Any Jewellery your character wears.

*Or anything else others would see when looking at your character...*

***

### Character Height

You can now begin thinking about your character's height, which you can set using **/setheight**. 

Remember, your characters height should not be shorter than 4’5” or taller than 6’5”. By using this command, your height will visually change on the server.

*For example: /setheight 5'4*

***

### Profile Decorations

Finally, if you wish to do so, you can decorate your profile for others to see when they right-click you. To do this, simply use the command **/profilecustomization**, here you will see a list of customisable features you can add to your profile.

**/customize font** will allow you to change the font of your characters name in your profile.

**/customize color** will allow you to change the colour of your characters name and description in your profile.

**/customize background** will allow you to change the background of your characters profile picture.

**/customize border** will allow you to change the border of your characters profile picture.
