Character Setup
@describe yourself- Select your
pronouns - Choose your
@species - Set up your
perisystem record
Although it is sufficient to name your character, jump into the Old Town Square, and get right to roleplaying, the advantage of the MUCK environment is that it is so much more than a glorified chatbox. MU*s take place in a physical world whose contents have various interactive properties.

Pronouns
pronouns <group>You can see which pronoun groups are available by writing pronouns.
> pronouns Elverson, Epicene, Fae, Feminine, Intersex, Masculine, Neuter, Plural, Singular, Spivak, and Vers
You can also look at the in-game documentation by writing help pronouns, which should offer more detail about nonbinary pronouns.
> help pronouns PRONOUNS pronouns pronouns <preset> The first form of this command displays a list of pronoun presets that you can apply to yourself. The second form of this command applies <preset> to your character, and displays a test string which you can read to ensure your pronouns are set correctly. SINGULAR and PLURAL are special pronoun sets that define what grammar should be used when referring to you. It determines whether you are referred to with phrases like "Ve is / They is" or "Ey are / She are". EPICENE is the inclusive pronoun "They / Them". NEUTER is the object pronoun "It / Its". ELVERSON is the neopronoun "Ey / Em". SPIVAK is the neopronoun "E / Em". VERS is the neopronoun "Ve / Ver". INTERSEX is the neopronoun "Shi / Hir". FAE is the neopronoun "Fae / Faer". Related Topics: examine, @set, post-self functions, post-self commands.
Unless your pronouns are specifically They / Them, you probably want to select the singular group.
> pronouns singular A friend said of A Finger Pointing, "They was always so vibrant; their laughter was so pointedly *theirs* that you could not mistake them for anyone else. “There they goes making fun of themself again!” we would always say. “They always has the last laugh!” They is sorely missed, and as they leaves our lives, let us remember those resonant barks each time we are tickled by their memory."
Then you can select the group that sets up the correct pronouns.
> pronouns feminine A friend said of A Finger Pointing, "She was always so vibrant; her laughter was so pointedly *hers* that you could not mistake her for anyone else. “There she goes making fun of herself again!” we would always say. “She always has the last laugh!” She is sorely missed, and as she leaves our lives, let us remember those resonant barks each time we are tickled by her memory."

> peri A Finger Pointing Time Is A Finger Pointing At Itself of the Ode clade (She / Her) Forked from Michelle Hadje on 0+103.
To set up your own records, you first need to find out which fields are available by writing peri.
> peri signifier clade origin timestamp
Then you can go through each one using peri <field> = <text>.
> peri signifier = Time Is A Finger Pointing At Itself Set. > peri clade = of the Ode clade Set. > peri origin = Michelle Hadje Set. > peri timestamp = 0+103 Set.
If your origin field is unset, your perisystem record will change to describe you as a root instance.
> peri origin = Set. > peri me Luísa Souto dos Riãos (Ey / Em) Uploaded on -1+103.
