About Registering a new Starfinder Society Character


Starfinder Society


Heya. I apologise in advance if this is the wrong board for this.

So, in registering a character for organised play, I am confused about a few things:

1. There is a field for Character Name, and Full Name. Is Full Name supposed to be for my irl name?

2. What is meant to go under Special Abilities?

3. Are Location, Languages, and Occupation supposed to be my irl information?

4. What constitutes an appropriate Homepage URL? Social media? Email? My Paizo account?

and 5. What is expected to go under Description? Character backstory and appearance?

I know this is all terribly newbish, but I'm a newbie, no two ways about it. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

None of your profile information is essential unless used for online play. It will help your local organisers if your alias (character name) recognisably resembles what you write on sign-in sheets.

Full Name is your character's full and correct name, if different from your alias.

Special Abilities, Languages and Occupation describe your character. I expect considerable variation in what people put in Location.

It would be appropriate to put backstory and appearance into Description.

Seconding Starglim, a majority of that information is only relevant if you do play-by-post. As an example, click on my profile for what your character appears like on the messageboards for online play.
