Once accepted make sure you are in the Discord to receive your role, if you did not receive it from the bot then please post your Steam 64ID in the Steam ID channel.

Creating Your First Character

Before entering the server, you will be given the option to select a character or create a new one. Players can create up to 10 characters. Selecting Create New will prompt you to choose a first and last name before continuing. You can change your name at City Hall in Saint Denis.

After naming your character, you can select their name in your load-in menu and join the server. This may take a few minutes, just relax until you’re fully loaded in. ​Once loaded into the creator, press the left or right arrow to select the figure you prefer. Note: this selection will affect which clothing options you have to choose from before entering the server.

Follow on-screen directions to make changes to your appearance including height, physique, facial features, and hair.Make sure to select an outfit in the clothing section before completing your character. Clothing can be purchased later at tailor shops for a fee.

When you’re happy with your appearance, select Complete. You will be spawned into St Denis with $100 in your wallet. Don’t spend it all in one place!
