 ===== Theme =====
-Every story has a setting that helps establish what is possible and probable. Furscape's setting, for instance, is hard science fiction; players know that if they see [[verboten tech|magic or teleportation]], it must be an illusion or hallucination. On the other hand, it's possible (if highly unlikely!) that members of a previously unknown alien race could show up in the lobby of a capitol building and start tap dancing. (This would require staff review first.)

   * Feel free to invent minor details related to your character that nobody else would know about, but don't mess with the already established facts. If you have a question about what's appropriate, consult a staff member.

   * Figure out what's 'normal' for the place and culture you're in. Are the people nearby giving your character funny looks?
+  * While we're on the subject of 'normal' for place and culture, be sure to check '**realm rules**' for special information for your locale.
 ===== Continuity =====
 Continuity is the flow of the story and what makes this one big unified whole rather than just a collection of independent scenes. Characters' actions have consequences, and the future is affected by the past.
