Where to Begin
First, read through the available information and then you can set on your journey to create your character. Think about what sort of person you want to write and play-- Someone completely ordinary, or someone rather strange? A person who knows themselves, or a person who's desperately seeking for who they are? Are you perhaps someone who likes to start with the character's design and finding a picture or drawing them? Go for it!
For first characters, I suggest characters who are somehow tied to the general plot on the Walking City and ARU and the angels, but this is not necessary. There is no word count or anything of the sort, so it's unnecessary to stress about it. As long as you have an inkling of an idea, there's no need to worry. I understand that sometimes character's change and solidify after being played for a while.
If you want your character to be a more important, well-known figure, contact the admin! It's easy to do on the Holy Machinations Discord server, here: (click to join). The admin is almost always online and more than happy to answer. If you're stuck on your character creation, you can also contact the admin! I'm friendly and don't bite.
Character Creation
example
Name: Anything goes! Your character might have a nickname or be called something else than their given name, or they might've picked their name themself. The name can be from any human culture as long as it fits the character. The name can also be a word not commonly used as a name, etcetera.
Age: The normal human lifespan applies.
Pronouns: She/her/hers for example!
Occupation: There are many occupations from farmer to an archaeologist. Some people are self-fashioned adventurers, looters or the like. Your character could possibly hold a high ARU position if you want them-- Anything is possible.
Powers: Your character can have special powers as detailed here. They are not mandatory, and every human doesn't have them. You can choose whether or not your character will have special powers.
Personality: A quick blurb to give others an idea what your character is like. Since character personalities tend to develop and change once you get to roleplaying, don't worry about this one too much.
Appearance: What does your character look like? If you have troubles coming up with what to write, here's some ideas. The appearance section doesn't have to be horribly long. Pictures are a bonus and not necessary. Faceclaims, dollmakers, self-drawn pictures are all fine, but please do not use anyone's art without a permission.
History: Your characters past, detailing how they came to do what they do now. Generally, the history will be longer the older the character is, but you might be good at condensing information! The characters past should inform how they act now, reflecting in their personality.

Only the information detailed before this is mandatory, but underneath is a copypastable, enhanced version for fun.
