Well if you're convinced (who wouldn't be) then a simple download of this mod and a few simple steps will have you on your way. But first, a preface.

The Story:
As a lone Argonian, you awake in small metal room with only the memory of your name and not much else. You know you are far from Tamriel, and maybe even Nirn, given the distinct lack of the Hist's presence in your mind, and an even more ominous absence of Magicka. Feeling trapped and alone in the silence of it all save a faint hum, you notice a small surface light up with the words "beam to surface".

Instructions:

Step 1)
This mod requires very little work! Simply drop the top level contents of the zip file directly into your steamapps/common/starbound/mods folder, and that's it.

Step 2) - IMPORTANT - DEPENDENCIES -
Currently, the character creation interface for this mod is configured to use Xander Kau's Simple Extended Character Mod. Install his mod or the game won't start!

Step 3)
That's all folks! Since the Angry Koala update, mod support has been increased and multiple race mods should play nice together if they are up to date. Simply install other races per their instructions and enjoy, they will fill the empty slots.
