I just registered for Society play, and I'm building a character. I'd like to attend a game in late February, but the scenario they're running, Lost at Bitter End is for character levels 7-10 (and supposedly challenging at that level). So, does that mean I'm limited to playing one of the level 7 pregens?
I read the Guide to Society Play's section on character creation, and the FAQ but I didn't see any explicit reference to what level new characters had to be restricted to, which leaves me wondering if I can create a legal level 7 character to bring to that scenario. Every instinct says absolutely not (and the assumption I see when I read it seems to be new characters are level 1), but I don't understand why it wouldn't be in the Guide explicitly as, "All new characters start at level one." Even when I go to register a character, it asks what "Classes/Levels" the character has, not simply class as it would if all new registered characters were level one automatically.
Can someone set me straight? I'm not really into the pregen characters, but would like to get involved in Society play before next Season.

All characters start at level 1, as you pointed out. There is no way to start with a character above that. There are level 7 pregenerated characters that you can use for that session like you said, and apply credit to a newly created character or hold until the one you reach that level, so if you do play a pregen, your time wouldn't be wasted.
The registration system is not tied to that character's PFS records. I know quite a few of my characters are in dire need of updating. In fact, you don't have to fill in the level (unless maybe you're doing an online Play-by-Post, in which case the GM might want that all filled in.) For example, I had a character that made it up to level 5 on GM credit alone. I didn't have to register stats for them, because I didn't have to stat him out until I would actually sit down to play with him.
You may want to contact the event organizer to see if they may try to schedule scenarios more friendly to new characters.
