Dust 514: Starters Guide

To Begin

If you have played Eve then the process of Character Creation in Dust will be very familiar to you.

There are the four established races to choose from, Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar and Amarr. You can choose one of the three the bloodlines for each race and then the gender.

Gallente Bloodlines are Gallente, Intaki and Jin-Mei.

Caldari Bloodlines are Civire, Achura and Deteis.

Minmatar Bloodlines are Sebiestor, Vherokior and Brutor.

Amarr Bloodlines are Amarr, Ni-Kunni and Khanid.

Now you are presented with a choice of four avatars for your Dust Merc to represent you to others and then decide on a name. Remember that this character will be searchable in Dust 514 and Eve so the usual rules apply. It will also have to be a unique name.

Once this is done you'll arrive in a familiar looking room.
