-**Minkan** come from a number of personal backgrounds, some including having been a Nepleslian at one point in their lives. Since the actual Minkan body has only been around since the end of [[calendar:ye_33]], it is common for much older characters that wanted to remain in the Star Army of Yamatai to have transferred into a Minkan body. We advise that all new players refrain from creating an extensive military career background for newly created characters, if the character is older they might have been training or working as a civilian but try to keep from affecting the course of any nation's history unless you actually played that scene. If the character has grown up on Yamatai chances are that they have never known true poverty or hunger.+**Minkan** come from a number of personal backgrounds, some including having been a Nepleslian at one point in their lives.
