Hey there!
This page is intended to be a collection of resources for the new player. The idea is that a new player should be able to decide whether GarouMUSH is the right place for them, learn what is expected of new players, and access resources for developing a vibrant, worldview-consistent character without having to run all over the net.
First read the Guide to Getting Registered.
Tsilegwa's How To Write An App That Doesn't Suck is a great place to start.
Megan's newbie guide[1] is a more personal narrative that gives a long-time player's advice on what characters work well for first-time players.
New Applicant FAQ is also available.
For character ideas, the following resources are available: Character Development questions, courtesy Yi.
