    “Do you accept?”
     
    I'm very careful to read everything that is put up in front of me.  Even so I'm still forced to swallow, as if my throat had gone suddenly dry.
     
    Advanced Character Creation?  I'd never heard of anything like that.  Then again, SD leaked almost no information at all besides only the most basic of information in a User's Guide.   Even I've read the guide several times over the last few months while waiting.
     
    But this...  It flips everything on its head.  The extra penalties balance out the helpful traits, but simply being able to do more from the start is also a big boost in itself.  My mind is running a thousand miles a second, going over the pros and cons of what is being offered.
     
    And the 'trial' Gabby had mentioned before.  The Beta Test had been like that.  A trial to see what users could do in a dangerous and serious situation.  I wonder how this is going to be any different.
     
    The thought excites me though, and a slow wolf-like grin spreads across my lips as I reach out and press the 'Yes' on the screen.
     
    The screen flickers, before disappearing with another 'DING' sound.  I enjoy the feeling swelling up inside me, but after a moment I turn to look at Gabby with a raised brow.  She's rather surprised, and her mouth is hanging open.  At least until she shakes her head and gives a slight cough to catch up.
     
    “Alright.  I didn't expect you to accept it that quickly.  Next on the list is a personalized race you are free to use.  It is... quite close to your real life condition, but comes with boosted starting points as well as an enhanced trait.  This one is completely optional though, so you are free to decline and choose one of the other starting races if you desire.”
     
    This time Gabby's tone is low and more than a little hesitant.  No one at SD is really sure how Allec would respond, but it was decided to be part of his starting surprise after his outstanding performance during the Beta Test.  If he refuses it, well, no sweat off their backs.  They could always recycle the race for later user in-game.
     
    I barely have time to arch a brow at Gabby when another window pops up.
     
    *DING*
     
Drune Rex Race unlocked!
The Drune Rex (Rexian) is a long-lost offshoot of the human race that separated from the greater part of humanity thousands of years ago.  They are the descendants of a 2 nd Generation colony ship that disappeared after its experimental faster-than-light drive activated properly.
     
    The ship never reached its intended destination and instead disappeared completely, greatly shocking everyone who was involved in the project.  That branch of FTL technology was abandoned in favor of different alternatives, resulting in the modern Warp Drive.
     
    Unknown to the rest of the human race, the colony ship did drop back into regular space, on the other side of the Galactic Rim.  Separated by millions of lightyears, there was no way to contact Sol again or turn around and return home.  With barely any power and supplies left, they were forced to land on the first habitable planet they could find, named Drune.
     
    The planet of Drune was a lush, low gravity world; rich in plant diversity, wildlife, and resource deposits, but not heavy metals.  With ready access to resources and no other sentient life on the planet, the colonists quickly established themselves and spread across the planet's
