Character Creation in Transference consists of the following components, each of which are detailed further down the page:
- OC information: Inform the GMs (and eventually your fellow players) about your name and pronouns. If you are under 18 you will need to alert the GMs for safeguarding reasons (this information will not be shared, as per our Privacy Policy).
- Ability to join Discord: You will need to confirm that you can join the Transference Discord server insert link and when you do join, make sure that your server name matches your real name and pronouns.
- IC name(s) and pronouns: Select a name for your character. Please also tell us your character's pronouns.
- IC Origin: Is your character a transfer or a local?
- Quirks: See the quirks page for more details on this.
- Private Bio: A bio of your character visible only to you and the GMs. It's where you can tell us the overall concept for your character, as well as their backstory, their goals and motivations, how they spend their time, and any interesting secrets that you don't want other players to know.

- OC Notes to GMs: A message to the GMs, primarily to inform them how they can make the game more comfortable for you.
- Any other information you’d like to add can be written at the end of the form.
OC Notes to GMs
In this part of character creation you can let the GMs know anything important that is not covered by the form, such as if you have accessibility or health related requirements, if there are particular players or themes you'd like to avoid, what you out-of-character want to get out of the game or just to be excited at us. Feel free to put whatever you want in this box, or leave it completely blank.

In Person Character Creation
On Tuesday 16th April at the Larkin Room at St John's College and over discord, there will be a character creation event, where you can ask any questions you have, get inspiration, meet others who are interested in playing Transference and get excited about the game ahead! There is no need to be at this event if you want to submit a character, but most Society Game players enjoy coming to these sessions before character submission.
