[@Nate1008] Hey there, welcome! We have actually had a few people drop out along the way so there are positions open. I don’t have time now but I will list the ones we need to have replaced and what the job is slightly like when I can. If you see a position that might be useful that we are missing then we will be willing to talk about it. Now for your questions: 1. Yes, it is required. It tells us who you ally with as well as what you have done in the past. Look at the character sheet on page 1 of OOC or the character tab for small examples. I believe making a faction is fine depending on what you come up with. 2. It is probably preferable but I can’t say it would be a full on “no” either. It would really depend on how you plan to play the character. The example being, can they talk? What use would they have on the ship? We have positions that need to cover each other and if they aren’t humanoid or have thumbs then it could get tricky. 3. Not all of them have to have knowledge on machines.
