Chapter II: Sign Up

[Signing Up]
As a new player of Warlords, your first order of business is to sign up and create your character. Your character will be completely your creation, and having one will allow you to interact with the other Player Characters (PCs) and historical characters played by the Game Masters that run the game (Commonly referred to as NPCs).
The first step in creating a character is to select your character's name. This can be any name, and while we encourage using Chinese names in keeping with the flavor of the game, there are no restrictions or penalties for selecting some other name (provided it is not obscene).
Next, you must select the age of your character, which may be any age over 14.
Then you must choose 10 attributes that will define your stats and skills. The choices will list the attribute name, statistical bonuses they provide in order of importance (first stat has highest bonus, second is medium and third is smallest). You also will see a list of skills, one of them will randomly be chosen for each attribute.
You can take same attribute 10 times or mix it up (there's a randomize button for your convenience). You can reroll as MANY times as you wish until you have a character you like, however you can't go back. A stat can't go above 99 and a skill above level 2. If you press on the back button to a previous character, when you press save, it will use your last roll so be careful.
You can select a specific skill you really want as well as the statistic you want to put your highest roll in.
Sign Up Tutorial
So here's a visual of the sign up tool.
If you are signing up past turn 1 / phase 1, you will get to choose from 3 possible bonuses.
Once you save, you will see your results on screen and if you signed up late, the total bonuses that will be automatically granted to your character.
Also, when you save, this is what you will see with your officer ID which you can create links with.
