Biographies:
The
mechanics of an E-mail sim are quite simple. Each
participant (or player) creates their own biography for
the character that they will play in the Sim. This
biography is important, because it will describe to the
other players how your character looks and acts. Once the
character biography is completed, it will be posted on
the website so that it can be referenced when stories are
written involving your character. You should always read
each player's biography (or re-read it) before posting a
new story entry involving that character. It can save you
the embarrassment of making a false reference in one of
your stories. Example: "Chris ducked to the right as
the disrupter blast streaked past her head." Which
would be fine as long as "Chris" is a woman,
but if it is short for "Christopher".... you
get the idea?
Most
Web browsers will allow you to print out and make hard
copies of the articles you browse. Feel free to make
yourself a hard copy of the players' character
biographies for easier referencing.
When
you think of the player characters, you should be
thinking of "the stars of the show", that is
really what they are. In this Sim, the USS Wraith has up
to 100 men and women on board, but really, the few player
characters are the stars of the sim.
You
should be given a full Crew Roster (The names, ranks,
positions and email addresses of all the crew) when you
join the sim. Each time a new character joins a fresh
Crew Roster listing all of the above, and including the
details of the new player will be sent out via the USS
Wraith Listserver. (Explained below)
