Yep however it is best if you read the rules and the history behind the current timeline. If you make any blatant mistakes in your profile you will likely be corrected by a member of the site so you can make the change for the good of your character and how it will influence the RP. So no sweat have fun the member's on this site are usually helpful.
Pretty much what you and Arimloth said. And if someone does correct you on a profile and they are rude/mean/spiteful, just ignore them. Some still don't know it's not nice to do.
