# Character Creation

## ER:LC Character Creation

<figure><img src="/files/7uAxzUzg1R0SCqyvbZTS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Use customizable in-game commands allowing users to register their character in the CAD, no account or CAD access required!

Once created, their civilian character will be searchable and can be used to [automatically register their vehicle](/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/vehicle-registrations.md).

## In-Game Registration Command Configuration

Register a character via a custom in-game command.

### Persistent Character Creation

<details>

<summary>In-Game Persistent Character Creation Command</summary>

When the character creation command is ran a new character will be created in the CAD. The character will include the first name, last name, and avatar photo.

If the user already has an in-game character created, it will be replaced by this new character.

</details>

### Temporary Registration

<details>

<summary>In-Game Temporary Registration Command</summary>

Running the temporary character creation command will perform the same actions as above. However, the civilian character record will be automatically **deleted after 24 hours**.

</details>

## Using the In-Game Commands

When in-game, users can run the customizable character creation commands followed by the **First** and **Last** name.

Ex: `;civ John Doe`

Once the character has been created in the CAD, users will be notified by an optional in-game message.

Once a character has been created, users can [register their vehicle with a single command](/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/vehicle-registrations.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonoransoftware.com/cad/integration-plugins/erlc/character-creation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
