Yup - after typing 'create <name> <password>' you get presented with the following menu:
<span style='font-family:courier'>----------------------------[ CHARACTER CREATION ]-----------------------------
Please specify which character creation method you would like to use:
[1] Quickstart : The mud will assign you a well-rounded starting character.
[2] Concept : Select a themed character concept from a list of choices.
[3] Customised : Manually customise your starting attributes and abilities.
If this is your first character, it is recommended that you select option 1 or
2, as each concept has been carefully optimised and tested to provide a strong
starting character. Option 3 will provide you with a great deal more freedom,
but without knowing what works well it'll be very hard to create a good setup.
Note that you may come back to this menu during the game by entering the gym
and typing 'creation' - so if you don't like your first setup, no problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span>
If you select 'quickstart' it presents you with a rundown of the stats, skills and talents you'll get and asks you to confirm - type 'y' and you're straight into the game.
If you select 'concept' you'll get a list of 20 different concepts. Select the one you want to view its stats, confirm with 'y', and once again you're straight into the game.
Selecting 'customised' brings up a load more menus, as you'd expect. Curiously enough I occasionally see people spend 10+ minutes in this option, then quit within seconds of entering the game.
