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.

 There are four generally recognized genders in modern society: male, female, herm (or hermaphrodite), and [[androgyne]] (or neuter). Males and females remain far the most common. In the early history of recoms, androgynes were very common -- now they are less so, but there are still some around. The majority of herms are chakats, but herms also occur in other species. There are four generally recognized genders in modern society: male, female, herm (or hermaphrodite), and [[androgyne]] (or neuter).

-The "classical" or "true" hermaphrodite, which includes chakats, appears female in outward appearance and usually has a feminine voice. If remaining clothed, these herms can easily pass for a female. (But chakats, like most taurs, do not habitually wear clothing on their lower body.)+The "classical" or "true" hermaphrodite, which includes chakats, appears female in outward appearance and usually has a feminine voice. If remaining clothed, these herms can easily pass for a female. 
  
 Due to the prevalance of mutations among recoms, it is possible for other types of herms to exist. It is possible for a recom to appear outwardly female but possess only male sex organs. The opposite is also possible, and a recom can appear outwardly male while having female sex organs. And of course, it is possible to have recoms of intermediate appearance. All of these are considered "herms" from a legal or medical standpoint, but they may choose to take on decidedly male or female roles in their daily life. In some cases it may be possible to physically restructure a herm recom into a male or female using advanced medical techniques -- but this is expensive and difficult. It is considered far easier and safer to determine and correct their gender before birth -- before conception or at an early embryonic stage. Due to the prevalance of mutations among recoms, it is possible for other types of herms to exist.

-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) [[Eisshari]].

 [[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. [[Skiltaire]].

-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.
