CUSTOMIZE CUSTOMISE

Usage: CUSTOMIZE <reflection/persona/physical/background>
Type YES to enter the menu after the query.

This command allows you to customize the three descriptions you may have in Awake: your Astral
Reflection, your physical appearance, and your Matrix Persona. With this command, you can customize
all of their characteristics. You can also use it to write a character background. The character
background is visible only to imms and may come into use during imm runs.

To edit one of the qualities of the description, merely enter the number of the attribute while in
the menu.

To end the description editors, you simply type '@' alone on the last line.

1) Alias:
This is for the keywords that will work for interaction with others in the same room as you. Always
make sure your name is one of the aliases in the list. Nicknames work fine, but it is recommended
you stay away from colors and common descriptive terms - otherwise, when people emote, you are
likely to see those descriptive terms replaced with your name and induce confusion.

2) Short/Room Description:
This is what people will see when they glance in a room that you are present in or when you enter a
room. Like for example:

A hairy elf covered in tattoos is standing here.

3) Voice Description:
What people hear over the radio or when blinded, for example:

A deep throaty male voice

4) Look Description:
This is the description people will see when they look directly at you. We suggest you go crazy with
your creativity and make a nice description that covers many details about your character.

5) Arriving Text:
This is the text that people see when you arrive in a room. The format is:
<Short Description> <Arriving Text> the <Direction>
For example a leaving description of:
casually strolls from
Would display the message:
A hairy elf covered in tattoos casually strolls from the north.

6) Leaving Text:
This is the text that people see when you leave a room. The format is:
<Short Description> <Leaving Text> <Direction>
For Example a leaving description of:
sneaks
Would display the message:A hairy elf covered in tattoos sneaks south.

7) Height:
8) Weight:
These are used to set your height in centimeters and weight in kilograms. There are upper and lower
limits based upon your metahumanity type.

To exit the customize menu type 'q' to quit then YES to save or NO to abandon your edits.
