Please use the following guidelines in creating a character. Knowledge of Fuzion and Macross is highly recommended, but not required. All the steps except stats must be completed before you submit your character.

Once ALL steps have been completed, send the character to the Academy Recruiter in either TXT or e-mail format. DO NOT SEND IT IN WORD DOCUMENT (.DOC) FORMAT.

KEEP YOUR CHARACTER SHEET. You will need it if/when your character ever changes boards, including moving from the Academy to a game board. It is recommended that as time passes in the game and your character's history grows, you add these occurrences to your character sheet.

Your character sheet must be completely filled out before you submit your character. Fuzion stats (in blue) are recommended, but not required.

For help with making your character sheet, please see Mr. Justice's "How to Make a Good Character Sheet" tutorial. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask the Academy Recruiting Office or Macross 2051 Admin either through email or on the AMRN's IRC channel. Fuzion questions should be asked either in email or on the General Discussion board, so as not to clutter the IRC chat.

SUBMITTING YOUR CHARACTER SHEET

Send ALL character submissions for Macross 2051 to the Academy Recruiting Office for admittance to the UN Spacy Academy.

All characters will receive a response frm the Academy Administrator. However, not all characters will be accepted into the game. As the games on the AMRN are conducted in a written format, it is absolutely vital that every player be able to communicate clearly in written English. It's hard to interact with people if you don't know what they're saying! The character sheet goes a long way in helping the Academy Administrator make this decision, so take your time with it and be thorough and correct. Another important factor in these games is the ability to maintain a professional attitude. Politeness is very important. If a player is continually rude and abrasive, that player may also be excluded. These decisions are made by the Academy Administrator. If you would like to appeal such a decision, please make your case in email to the Macross 2051 Administrator.

The approval process may take up to two months, so be patient. It is important that the Academy Administrator know that you are ready to play your character well, so he may ask you for revisions on your character sheet. During the interim before you start playing, you are free to chat with the AMRN staff and players on the general discussion board, through email, or on IRC.
