Tim31 I feel for you, trying to get your machines operational.
If you want, you could start a role play as a story in the
In-Game Roleplay Events section... you could simply start a short paragraph or three like a first person diary "Your character's name arrived in Hydlaa today. Everything is so strange and new, not like his/her/kra's home..." something like that, then say a few things about what you do know aboutyour character, and what you're creating for your backstory. It might get you along with your character development even during this time you're still trying to actually get in game.
Do some quick reading on the website, about history and characters then you'll have a good sense where your character might have started from. For example, Dermorians, like my character, all came to the Dome after Talad and Laanx created the kran and lemur races... nolthrir come from the lower levels of the dome, are water/ land elf type creatures... read the races over, make a decision, then create your story!
And ASK for help from the GMs and the developers in the IRC channel #PS- gmtalk I think it is. There is a link on the website.
Good luck! Don't give up!
