Hi! My name is Paige and I'm a die-hard fan of Halo.
If you need to get in contact with me, the best way to do so is via my Discord; SharkLordSatan#0314.
Anyway, this page is where I drop all my WIP shit.
So, You Wanna Play Halo: Space Station Evolved.
First off, this guide will assume you know the basics behind playing Space Station 13. If you don't, then we highly recommend that you go play on a different server (i.e Fulpstation, Beestation, Colonial Marines, TGCM, etc.) so that you may familiarize yourself.
On top of that, please familiarize yourself with the server's rules, which you can find here.
Know the basics? Good! Let's get started. Let's start off by creating your characters. Yes, characters, not character.
Making Your Character!
When you first log in to the server, you'll be greeted with a window with multiple options. Click on Setup Character.
After you clicked on that option, this window (to the right) will open. Here you can configure your character to your liking. Let's run through the options available.
At the very top of the page shows your options with the character slots. You can have up to ten different characters. Below that are different tabs for customizing specific aspects of your character. Ignore them for now, and focus on the "General" tab - the one we're looking at now. Here's a run-down list of all the options you'll see on this page.
Character Creation Options
- NAME: The name of your character. You also have a option to randomize it. Note that if you choose a name of your own making, that it must comply with these rules:
- It cannot be the same name as a canonical character in Halo lore. (i.e John-117, Thel 'Vadamee, Avery Johnson, etc.)
- It cannot be a "meme" name. (i.e Dr. Coomer, Chungus, Chad Thundercock, etc.)
- It must be realistic to the setting/your species. So your human character cannot have a name that an Elite would have, and vice versa.
- Names that start with things such as "Sgt." or "Dr." are fine. Having a nickname in the middle (i.e Paige "Blitz" Baker) is also fine.
If you're having trouble coming up with names and find the randomized names to be lacking, you can refer to this website here and see if you can find anything you like.
- GENDER: The gender of your character. Choose between "male" or "female".
- AGE: Specify the age of your character. Minimum is 18, max is 80.
- LANGUAGES: What languages your character knows. As a Human, you will know English as well as up to 2 other languages of your choosing. As any Covenant species, you will only know Sangheili as well as the language of your own species. Any languages you don't know will be heard as undecipherable gibberish.
- SPECIES: Change the species of your character. Currently available species are Human, Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar, Sangheili, San'Shyuum, Tvaoan Kig-Yar, Unggoy, Yanme'e, ORION, and SPARTAN.
- BLOOD TYPE: Change the blood type of your character. This is a game mechanic and not just for RP flavor.
- SKIN TONE: Change the tone of your skin. Higher numbers are darker, while lower numbers are lighter.
- NEEDS GLASSES: Choose whether your character has impaired vision and thus needs glasses. This is a game mechanic and not just for RP flavor.
- ADJUST LIMBS: Choose what limbs on your body are amputated/prosthetic. This is a game mechanic and not just for RP flavor.
- ADJUST ORGANS: Choose which specific organs you want to be assisted or synthetic. This is a game mechanic and not just for RP flavor.
- HAIR: Change the style and color of your hair.
- FACIAL HAIR: Change the style and color of your facial hair.
- EYES: Change the color of your eyes.
- BODY MARKINGS: Give yourself specific tattoos. Some tattoos maybe non-functional.
- EQUIPMENT: Change the style and color of your undergarments (bra/underwear/socks), what undershirt you have, and what style of backpack you have (currently non-functional).
- BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Flavor info. Change your character's opinion of the UNSC, their home system, their citizenship, their faction, and their religion.
- RECORDS: More flavor info. Insert whatever you want for medical records, employment records, security records, and your character's memories.
- FLAVOR: Even more flavor info. You can assign flavor text for your character, and even for body parts.
