Next, you will need to choose a race. The race you select is a very large part
of what you will become. Your race will dictate what skills and levels will be
available to you, and each race offers a unique roleplay opportunity. Some
races are not allowed to join certain clans, and some races are expected to
behave in different ways. Also, note that there are 3 categories of races:
Free, Purchased, and App-Required.

HELP RACE will give you a good idea of what the costs are, but beware, the most
up-to-date method of finding out is in the showrace command. Using SHOWRACE
without arguments will bring up a list of current races used in LotJ. Once
you've found a class you like, you can then look closer at it (ex: SHOWRACE
ZABRAK) to determine attribute bonuses, hit points (HPs), race cost or
app-required, skin colors, and most importantly, their level approximations.
You will want to choose a race that can best fit the character you wish to
play. For example, if you wanted to become a fearsome bounty hunter, you would
not choose a Chagrian, who has the potential to only accumulate up to 70 bounty
hunting levels. So, take your time and look through the races to figure out
which best suits your needs!

CLASSES
Once you have found what you want to be, you may now select a class. Your class
is what determines what your primary job could be in the galaxy. Generally:
Combat: Soldiers and mercenaries
Piloting: Large ship commanders (clan-oriented)
Engineering: Crafters that can make armor, weapons, and even starships
Bounty Hunting: Trackers and capturers of wanted beings (not clannable)
Smuggling: Thieves, drug dealers, and con-artists of the highest caliber
Leadership: Excellent group leaders with bonus specializations
(HELP LEADERSHIP)
Espionage: Intelligence-gathering and special operations
Slicer: Experts in all matters pertaining to computers
Medical: Surgeons are able to heal, install cybernetics, and clone
their friends
Science: Philosophers and scholars renowned for their ability to invent
new technologies

Once you have selected a class, you will then be requested to select your hair
(can be dyed later) and skin color (determined by race), as well as your prompt
(HELP PROMPT for later customization).
