Character Creation FAQ

In order to play in the Combine, you will need something, or rather somebody, to play it with. This will be your character. It will represent YOU in the fantasy world of this simulation game. When you create your character, you will be able to distribute points according to what "level of importance" you will give your "Skill Groups."

This may sound pretty complicated to those of you who have never seen the system. The following steps will explain how this is done before you go off to try it yourself. Remember that you will not be able to change your character once it is finished and added to the game.

There are four steps to creating your very own and special character:

Select your handle.
Select the race you want.
Select your "Skill Groups" in order of importance.
Distribute your assigned Skill Points.

It is strongly suggested that you try out various combinations, perhaps even make a fictional character on paper before making a real one. You might do something wrong, or when you play, you might want to change. Now, since changing your character is not an option once you begin playing, this first step is possibly the most important one you will make in this simulation!

2.1/ Select Handle

Note Handle approval could take up to 24 hours.

Your handle must include both a first name and a last name. You must respect the following criteria:

You must capitalise the first letter of all names:

Example

Forbidden: luke night, peter smith, ...
Allowed: Luke Night, Peter Smith, ...

You may not include any title or rank in your handle:

Example

Forbidden: "Darth", " Sir"," Dr", "Admiral", "Princess", ...

You may not use the name or last name of an existing Star Wars character:

Example

Forbidden: Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Zuckuss, Mara Jade, Steven Skywalker, Carl Solo, Jack Maul, ...
BUT you may use an existing first name with a name:
Allowed: Luke Night, Han Jones, ...

You may not use the name of an existing character in a different universe:

Example

Forbidden: Alfred Bester, Frodo Baggins, Beverly Crusher, ...

You may not include any special character or number in your handle:

Example

Forbidden: " $ % = / * _ + .0 1 2 ... 9 or whatever
Allowed: the blank space, ' and - are allowed: Luke Night, R'ad Boy, Peter-Notting Hill

You may not have a handle that does not sound like a name:

Example

Forbidden: "Imthebest", "AttAcK", "hhhhhh","Killer X", "Blood Raven", ...

You may not have a handle that closely resembles that of another player:

Example

Forbidden: Horly Cyan, Jessi James, Vodo Bonnias, Toggan Jano, Roy Starkiler
BUT you may use the surname of another player if that player or family head sends their consent via support.
Allowed: Luke Night, James Night, Peter Smith, Anna Smith

You must use a full first and last name:

Example
Forbidden: Mewkewbacca, Lankguss, Nekara, Qaaien

You may not have a handle that closely resembles that of a famous real life person or organisation:

Example
Forbidden: George Lucas, Dalt Wisney, Micro Soft

The Combine Administration reserves the right to decline handles that they deem inappropriate for the game.

Important

All proposed handles not following these criteria will be automatically declined!!
Note

If you need help, try this random name generator for ideas. Be aware that this should only be used as a guide, as some name combinations generated will not be suitable for your application. Please ensure that your chosen handle conforms to all of the handle rules.

Important

The Star Wars Combine Administration may request your handle be changed in circumstances which cannot be avoided. Examples include where your in-game handle does not meet the criteria required of a PG-13 game.
2.2/ Protected Handles

You may not use the surname of an established in-character family.
To be passed with a family name, a representative of the family must contact a member of the Join Team on your behalf or send their consent via support. "Common" surnames cannot be protected by this rule and will be passed regardless of familial consent. Example
"Common" surnames: Smith, Kim, Lee, Hawk, Brown, Park, Shepard.
"Protected" surnames: Ismay, Tylger.
Note
The Join team currently consists of the following players:
Euna Miriel; Jevon Lambright; Pozz Umgee; Syn; Teyacapan Quetzalxochitl; Cael Graigan

2.3/ Handle Changes

If your handle meets one of the following criteria, your handle will meet the conditions that is required for a handle change.
Criteria for a valid handle change are:

If handle has a inappropriate meaning in another language
If handle is not a name (example: _avatar_ or Killer Raven)
If handle does not have a last name (example: Quaxo or Anti-Tarkin)
If handle does not start with a capital letter (example: falcon)
If handle is the players real life name (example: Alex Smith)
If handle is an improper name (contains titles, numbers or other abnormalities) (example: Lady Dyvel or Count Uebles)
If handle is canon

Important
The Administration has the final say in a handle change. If they deem a handle change is not needed, another Administrator will not change your handle

Mijn Handle: Enitram Solar

Faction: You have a join request currently pending for Rebel Alliance.

En als Bold Snatchdude je Handle beoordeeld dan moet je nog rekening houden dat je Handle moet klinken als een naam.

Er wordt wel geadviseerd om een faction te joinen. Blijkbaar is het in het begin vrij lastig om vooruit te komen. Als je lid bent van een faction dan heb je wat broodnodige hulp van anderen.

Ja ik heb mezelf opgegeven voor de Rebel Alliance (tijdelijk) mochten we zelf los willen gaan 🙂

En in welke categorie zitten die?

[ Post made via iPhone ]

Information ::)

Misschien van Faction wisselen hehe

Je kan SWCombine als Icon krijgen op je iPad/Iphone door van de website een Bladwijzer te maken.
Geen idee of het ook kan met Androids.

Nice. Dat werkt. Thanks

Onder ander.....

Many newcomers get discouraged by how long things take in the Combine. You have to keep in mind that this is a real time game. Most activity in the actual game consists of clicking a button and waiting a while for that action to complete.

Walking around a city can take a few hours. Piloting a vehicle around a planet can take a day. Travelling across the galaxy will take several days to a couple of weeks, and that's assuming you have a fast ship.

So what do you do in the meantime?
- Get some basic training
- Chat on the IRC
- Join a faction and start reading the faction's forums
- Get involved in a "White Scenerio"
- Start familiarizing yourself with the Darkness

Dit lijkt me niet iets om eens lekker een zondag avondje te gaan questen... zeker niet met onze STA maners: "Oeps... ik ben mijn armor vergeten.... ben er weer over een weekje of drie!" ;D

Hahaha nee niet echt inderdaad. Wat misschien wel leuk is, is om in het begin het spel via TS met elkaar te ontdekken. Vooral de wat complexere dingen als production ed.
Verder is het vooral het plannen van een aantal acties, fora lezen en IRC chat.
