Step 1: Personal Character Information

Character Info

Personal Character Information is totally up to the player, you decide if your character is male or female, Earthnoid or Spacenoid, the colour of their skin, eyes, hair, etc. The only things you really have to worry about is how that character is going to fit into the game, their Type, and their Date of Birth. For instance, if you are creating a Zeon character, then it wouldn't make sense to make him an Earthnoid, since members of the Principality of Zeon are all Spacenoids. As for their Type, wait until you find out if they're a Newtype or and Oldtype. Their Date of Birth should also coincide with their O.C.C. or the story behind the character's involvement in the game. A character who has enlisted in their faction would at least 18 years old, but in the case of Amuro Ray, the became part of the E.F.F. at 16 because of his experience piloting Gundam.
