New Character Question

[Paul Kettlebones]

Ok, I am brand new here and have been doing my research of the history and pertinent information necessary to make my first character.  I have a few quick questions before I proceed with my official submission.

1) If I create a character whose background has certain details best kept secret yet are important to the understanding of the character, should it still be included in my bio?  Essentially is meta-gaming much of a problem on this server as it seems it wouldn't be?

2) Assuming my submission is approved; when I actually go to create the character, is it necessary for me to put anything in the bio field or can I leave it blank?  Can that character bio be altered at all later if it is required?

As soon as I get past these last few questions I will go ahead and submit.  I am looking forward to diving in here as some of the background material I have seen including player movies look incredible!  Hope to see you all soon.

1) It is essental to provide the team with as much information as possible. In all my time here, I have never seen information in the biography metagamed. That doesn't mean it won't happen one day, there is just no precedent I know of set yet.

2) No, you can leave it blank. Thou a fair number of people include the physical discription of the character including any interesting marks. From holy symbols to noteable features such as scars or tatoos.

Generally I include physical descriptions if I decide to include anything.  Thanks a lot for the quick response!  I will begin making my submission now.  :-D
