Chargen is short-form for Character Generation and refers to two things:
- The process of creating a character on-game.
- The series of rooms set aside on-game with which one can create their character.
In the physical chargen on-game, players can set all attributes in their +char sheet, which is locked upon character approval and may not be changed without using +char/upgrade or +char/update later on and approval from appstaff. (See on-game help for +char/upgrade|update by typing '+help char-upgrades' and '+help char-updates'.)
