Character Creation
When you first connect to Hellmoo, you will begin life as an orphan. To continue on, you will need to visit the museum in Freedom City to enter Dreams of Before. From there, you collect your skill items, and proceed into Dreams of Below.
Life as an orphan
As an orphan, you can screw around in the game world without any serious repercussions. Even if you die, you'll respawn back in the Orphanage without penalty. This is a good way to learn the world layout and combat basics. The downside is that you cannot gain any IP or XP, or do any fun journals.
When you think you have a grasp on things, go to the Freedom City Museum to the west of the crack mansion or, if you still have the flyer in your inventory or took one from a poor scrub, follow flyer to automatically walk there.
Dreams of Before
The Dreams of Before are exactly that, a dream about the way things were before the nuclear bombs hit and destroyed society as we once knew it. This is also the HellMOO character generation stage, where you collect up to 6 items (Four items and BOTH fetish magazines, namely Playgirl and Playboy) which determine your starting skills.
The items you pick up will give you a raw in the skill they would associate with, and decrease the cost of learning that skill throughout the game. After picking up the items you want, type wake.
The item locations are listed below. Note that to get into the Attic and Mom and Dad's room, you need to search.A detailed map with descriptions can be found here.
