Character Submission

Sorry! Please NO observers, spectators, and visitors at game events.
Create a Character, or VOLUNTEER TO NPC, and play!

Creation Rules

Everyone attending GALAXY AWAITS must have a Character submitted online and approved by Staff.

Unique Character

Your Character must be UNIQUE and ORIGINAL, NOT a copy/cosplay of a Star Wars character. You are creating a Character of your design within the guidelines, rules, and available choices.

No Relation

Your Character cannot be related to, or associated with, a Star Wars character. Passing familiarity, 'met once in a cantina', within reason is okay.

No Death Dealers

Your Character's sole intent cannot be inflicting Character Death. This is not a battle game. Role-play and dealing out Consequences as defined in the RULEBOOK is expected first.

Clones

Your Character cannot be a 1) Jango Fett clone, or 2) a Force-sensitive clone, or 3) a clone from a Star Wars character.

Canon & Legends

Use ONLY Star Wars (Disney) Canon and/or GALAXY AWAITS canon for references to characters / events / places, never Legends/EU.

How much about Star Wars do you need to know?

You can play GALAXY AWAITS without seeing any Star Wars, though we do recommend the film, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, as a must-see since the In-Game timeline is set 11 years after. The film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and the series Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi are also highly recommended.

If you're interested in more, we also reference material from the following media:

  • Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace (film)
  • Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (film)
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated series)
  • Star Wars: The Bad Batch (animated series)
  • Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (video game)
  • Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (video game)
  • Star Wars Rebels (animated series)
  • Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (film)
Can I play X?
Cosplaying a Star Wars character is not for Galaxy Awaits. Instead, you are creating a unique character for the game and as long as your character fits within the timeline, you can play almost any canon species or archetype you would like so long as it is listed on our website under DATACRON.
Can I have a history with my favorite Star Wars character?
While Star Wars characters, such as Obi-wan Kenobi and Han Solo, exist within the universe and are referenced in the game, we ask that you not tie yourself to these characters beyond a passing familiarity. For instance, all Inquisitors are acquainted with Darth Vader and the Grand Inquisitor but do not have a strong personal relationship with them, and many former Jedi would have been familiar with well-known members of the Order such as Yoda or Mace Windu without knowing them closely.

1. Character Specifics

Species

Choose from 75 different Species, each with special RULES and COSTUME REQUIREMENTS detailed on the SPECIES LIST.

Faction

Choose a Faction. The Empire and Rebellion requires loyal members meaning your Character must believe in the cause. The traitor concept has been overplayed in GALAXY AWAITS — the Empire and Rebellion Factions need loyalty to function properly in the game.

FACTIONS
Role

A Role defines your Character's job within your Faction, providing access to Role-specific Perks, Missions, and story.

Empire
Rebellion
Independent
 
JOINING A GUILD

Choosing the appropriate INDEPENDENT Role automatically makes you a Guild Member:

GUILDS
 

2. Character Chain Code

A Chain Code is a Character's online profile, an information record in the In-Game Holonet database. When creating your Character's Chain Code, write from the perspective of someone reading a report. You don't have to fill out all the fields here, but if you do awesome! We're looking for a couple sentences or paragraphs in each text field.

Chain Code information must be REAL and TRUTHFUL about your Character. In-Game tools to create fake IDs and false Chain Codes are available after your Character is approved.

 

3. Create a Costume

Using the Profile Photo in the sample Chain Code above as an example, include a photo of you dressed as your Character for approval. Here are the COSTUME REQUIREMENTS.

We will accept concept art of your Character as a temporary for Submission. Do not send an image of just clothing.

 

4. Submission & Revision

Submission

Staff will review your Character within seven (7) days. You will be notified when your Character is approved.

Revision

If your Character is been returned for revisions, please follow the instructions from Staff.

Skills & Gear

Once your Character is approved, you will be able to pick your Character's starting Skills and Gear. You will receive further instructions after your Character is approved.
