When you click the apply button, you will be confronted with an application from. Don't be daunted by this, it is fairly straight forward to fill out but may require a bit more work to fill out than your average PBeM application form. This section of the website deals with explaining how to fill out the application form.

Name: Choose a name for you character. Alien races should certainly not have human names and even humans this far into the future have names that are not quite the same as modern names. After bearing in mind this little rule of the thumb, choose what ever name you want.

Player: This is yourself.

Email: Your email address so we can contact you and send posts out to.

Race: What race you want your character to belong to. Races that you can belong to any that are found in What is Dark Thaum? section. However be prepared that if there is a lot of one particular type of race onboard the ship, the GM may restrict it and ask you choose another. Try looking at the crew of the Black Zero to see what everyone else is playing first.

Nationality: Which nation is your character from? Please bear in mind the race of your character as well though when it comes to this. They should could from a nation where they are listed as a major race of that nation. Those who belong to minor races of a nation will also be considered, but not to many of these will be allowed.

Age: How old is your character? Bear in mind that different races age at different rates to humans.

Gender: Either Male, Female or neither (usually minority mutants can take this last option).

Concept: This is a rough idea of what your character is. This can be virtually anything but examples could include, pilot, engineer, computer hacker, bodyguard, mercernary, tunnel rat, black market doctor, jack of all trades etc...

Appearance: What does your character look like. What special little quirks make up how they look.

Personality: Including your characters likes, dislikes and skills. What is your character like as a person? What do they like? What do they hate? What are they particularly skilled at.

Background: What has your character done with their life up until they became a member of the Black Zero. What skeletons lie in their closest? What of family? What about education, previous jobs etc...

Hidden Background: This section details on information that you don't want others to know as common knowledge until it comes out in game. The information you put here will be kept between yourself and the GM only until the necessary time.

Languages: What languages does you character know. I won't place a limit on this, but please be sensible with it. Unless you background justifies it you should only know only a very small number of languages (you can find languages in each nations description). However, every should have as one of their languages as Iriak, the language of the Independant Alliance that will be spoken onboard ship. It does help if everyone can speak the same language.

Equipment: You start with 2500 credits on which you can spend upon equipment from the price list, though only 500 credits of this can be rare items. This is what your character starts with, including any clothes etc... List the items you choose in this section, ending with how much cash you have left over.

Security ID: I need you to choose a password upto 16 characters. This will be kept between yourself and me and will be needed everytime you make a post. I use this then just to confirm that it is you that is making a post and not someone else pretending to be you.
