'''Name:''' This field is for your character's name. Depending on what species you are playing, you will need to come up with a suitable name. Naming conventions for all species differ from Human ones. Obviously the name Bob Jones won't work for a Klingon or a Bajoran, unless you can justify it. If you are stumped for a name, try rearranging the letters in your real name and come up with a character name you like.
'''Species:''' This is the species or your character. For the most part, you can play any race available from the Star Trek Universe. There are some exceptions though: No player may play a Q, Changeling, Jem'Hadar, any Dominion species, Borg, or Android. '''You can find a complete catalogue of playable races [[:Category:PC Rated|here]]'''. Any bio that uses a forbidden species will automatically be asked to change their species.
Now, there is a chance that you want to play a hybrid character. A hybrid is a character of two or more mixed species (ie: Half human, half Vulcan). You are more than welcome to play a hybrid. We just ask that you be careful when you combine races, and use common sense. Obviously a ¼ Vulcan, ¼ Human, 1/4 Andorian, ¼ Klingon doesn't make much sense. If you do choose an unusual combination, be ready to explain how this combination came to happen somewhere in your bio.
'''Gender: ''' Male, Female, or other. It depends on what race you play as some are hermaphrodites (Hermats), while others have no sex at all (J'Naii).
'''Age:''' This is your character's age. The normal age for someone entering the Academy is anywhere from 16-24 Terran years of age. While , while graduating officers would likely be anywhere from 20-28 Terran years of age. Minimum age requirements for a particular species can be found on their [[:Category:PC Rated|species page]]. If your character doesn't fall within those ranges, please be sure to explain why.
'''Height:''' Your character's height. Please realize that the decks are only about 10 feet / 3 meters tall, and the doorways are probably 8 feet / 2.5 meters tall. Also, some races are taller than others and it would be unlikely to see a 7 foot tall Ferengi, or a 3 foot tall Klingon. Just use common sense.
