Hello everybody as you guys can see here that I am a newbie! NOOB... Normally I would not try to talk at all or make any introductions of myself to a site but I am here and I feel more bold. I am a shy person in these forums but I will make my times here! THRIVE! Well that's the idea here right? I am Darkhor Saurguse in case you didn't get that by my unsername. Uhm well I was wanting to start out as my own entire race called Drakkollis. I am not certain whether or not I must create the species or make the character first? Or is it the other way around? But I am happy to be here and that is what is important here! ;D
Hiya! Welcome to SotE.
I would make the character and put a little note about the race in their profile. You don't need to lay out the entire species and culture unless you want to recruit people to play others. I recommend you make your character and enjoy playing them rather than worry about designing a species in detail, unless that's fun for you.
