 When creating a character, it is important to have a strong concept that you enjoy. MIDNIGHT ARRIVING encourages new users to only read the general primer of the setting, as well as what specifically interests them. This page exists to direct you towards necessary subject matter to get involved, as well as making a concept you may enjoy. It is not necessary to read the entire wiki, but it is expected to at least read enough to understand the setting's limits.

 Individuality as part of larger systems is a key part of MIDNIGHT ARRIVING's world. As long as a background does not violate the boundaries of the setting, there will usually be very little limitations on how you choose to portray your character.
