Sapphire does not come with any player files, as you may have noticed.  To
create an inititial character you will need to have the character creation
code.  To get the character creation code (without already having a character
in the game) you must do the following:

boot up the server (`sapphire bootfile' will work)
once the server has successfully booted up type a Break (usually Ctrl-C), you
will then see the Main Control Menu appear
enter the number next to the one that says "Show the character creation code"
a new character creation code is generated about every five minutes so make
sure you create a character within that about of time

After you have the character creation code you may do the following to create
a character:

now login to the game with a client (telnet will work) and type in the
name you want you new character to have when the game asks "By what name do
you wish to be known?"
it will then ask for the character creation code, type in the code you got
a minute ago from the Main Control Menu and you should be all set

To make you character have implementor (the highest) status:

save and quit if you are logged in (`$save' and `$quit')
edit the file plr/<name>.plr and change the number next to the first single
`L' in the file to 101 (<name> is the name of your character)
