# Character Setup

### Creation <a href="#creating-your-first-character" id="creating-your-first-character"></a>

Upon joining the server, you will be met with the character management screen. To create your first character, click the big button labeled "**Create New Character**". Then, fill in all of the fields and choose "**Create Character**".

For roleplay purposes, the ethnicity field must be filled with one of these ethnicities: **White**, **Black**, **Asian**, or **Hispanic**.
{% endhint %}

### Customization <a href="#customizing-your-character" id="customizing-your-character"></a>

After creating your character, select it on the left side of the screen, and choose a spawn location. Once spawned in, you will be met with the options to customize your character.

Before starting any customization, head to the "**Model**" dropdown, and make sure to select `mp_m_freemode_01` if your character is a male or `mp_f_freemode_01` if your character is a female. Once you are done customizing your character, click the save icon, which is the second last starting from the bottom.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can access the character management screen at any time using the command `/changecharacter`.
