Instructions on creating a character for [FG.rpg]
Making your character is half the fun in [FG.rpg], and while it is pretty free-form, there are a few guidelines to help you detail and describe your character.

What names do you introduce yourself with, sign your email with, respond to, go by on irc/aim? Whatever they are, list them here.
Title
For staff, we're assigned a title to represent what kind of work we are meant to do. For volunteers, we're titled by what program we're in, or what email lists we're members of.
