Can I create a character for the purpose of creating another character?

[Jorzen Quank]

I'm interested in developing a new created species (that is, not evolving in nature). What's the best way to do it? Create a Sith, work him up to Alchemist, and go from there? Create a genetic engineer PC and then make a development thread? Start with the species and work backwards to explain its creation? I'd like the species to be intelligent and have the capability to be Force sensitive.

Thoughts & feedback would be appreciated!

Others will have more experience than me, but personally I'd create the species and work backwards giving it backstory on it's origins.

I wouldn't have thought you'd need to create so much just to put forward a species if you make a decent backstory/origin. Don't want it to be laborious in having fun, after all!

But I may be wrong - if so, I stand corrected.

If not, go for it!
