+What kinds of people can you play here? After [[character creation]], this guide will help you decide what your character can look like. Here's a summary of some kinds of character that fit with the [[encyclopedia galactica|theme of Furscape MUCK]]. Note that dallen, eisshari, human, AI, odontonian and skiltaire characters have some strings attached and should be discussed with the staff. Belter, other recom (including taur and chakat), irbis, and kirru are open to new applications.

-It has been known for a long time that the Milky Way contains numerous other alien civilizations. None of those technically advanced, star-faring civilizations are very close to populated recom space, and there are no regular channels of travel, trade or communication with any of them at this time. However, a number of alien stragglers and small colonies can be found in recom-colonized space. These include:
+It has been known for a long time that the Milky Way must contain numerous other alien civilizations. None of those technically advanced, star-faring civilizations are very close to populated recom space, and there are no regular channels of travel, trade or communication with any of them at this time. However, a number of alien stragglers and small colonies can be found in recom-colonized space. These include:
 [[Eisshari]]. Long ago the [[Dallen]] civilization founded a colony on [[Annyrion]]. They brought the Eisshari along with them as servants. Later, for reasons unknown, the Dallens abandoned Annyrion, but they left some Eisshari behind. For several thousand years the Eisshari have survived and maintained a primitive culture. Eisshari ruins are found in [[Lopanga]] continent, but no Eisshari live there now. Some of them still live on [[Inaria]] continent, most in the Eissshari quarter of Annyrion City. (note: Very little is determined about the Eisshari. Any player who wants to flesh them out would probably be welcome to do so, but it must be done in consultation with the staff)

 [[Skiltaire]]. Skiltaire are recent arrivals in recom space.  Their origin is largely unknown, and the colony ship that made an extended stop at [[Planet Amazon]] before departing for destinations unknown was of unknown configuration.  The Skiltaire who chose to remain behind have been largely assimilated by recom society in general.
-Other aliens. . . Once in a while a stray alien ship makes its way into recom-colonized space. It could be a deep space exploration ship, a colony ship, or an off-course trader. These incidents are uncommon, and contact with them is usually handled by the various space navies in our setting. Exploration ships manned by recoms also sometimes encounter aliens during deep space exploration missions. The crew have special training for these situations.
+Other aliens. . . History only records a few instances of contact between recoms and unknown alien intelligences. Contact with them might be handled by one of the space navies, but only some governments provide special training for these situations. First contact would be a momentous event and (if not quickly hushed up) could be expected to result in a media circus.
