====== Character Creation Guide Template ====== This is the template for the creation of a CCG. CCGs are for the purpose of helping players create their character along logical guidelines and heritages to keep the universe consistent. CCGs should be created under the /ccg/ namespace ======SPECIES/CULTURENAME Creation Guide====== ====Introduction==== Give a brief overview of playing in the species/culture ====Essential Elements==== Like the abilities list on the species template, this gives a rundown of key points every player must consider. =====Names===== Include sample names, name architecture (I.E. “first, last”, “First, childofFather/mother”, etc) and common vowel/consonant combinations/sounds =====Common Upbringings===== Use this to show common upbringings in the species/culture. Try to list at least three paths - but remember, these are supposed to be common, but not the ONLY options. ===== Appearance ===== Condense species page appearance down for this section, with colourations and occurrence. Be sure to note obvious signifiers and fashions and other such commonalities. ===== Common/racial Skills/Talents ===== This should be something influenced by societal education. Magic and psionic talents (Including specific disciplines) are in this category. Natural racial abilities should be listed here as well. ===== Historical Factors ===== Shows examples of how to take a common upbringing and personalize it, including major historical events, otherwise give you basic ways to flesh out the background. Where were they when X was attacked? When a natural disaster hit? etc. ===== Additional Reading ===== This is where you link anything that would be helpful for potential players to take a look at.
