Hello! I'm Jordon, I wanna get into this game and community. But I've no idea what I'm doing. I had a look through everything but I didn't really get it. I may be just misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure. The main questions I have are: - The System (I'm not sure what you guys are actually playing) - Character Creation Rules / Tips / General Help Thanks for your time

TL;DR - I started recently and had many concerns too, but if you just join a session everything will start to click for you. Playing really is the easiest way to learn.
I started relatively recently (February of this year) and felt the same going into things. But to my delight, the system is remarkably simple; especially if you use the resource that Dack linked above. Just follow the basic directions and fill out the sheet to best reflect the character you want to be; from whatever "era" you want to be from. From there it really is as simple as joining a game. Logan also allows you to alter/tweak your characters after your first session so you can always fine tune your character once you have a feel for the system.
Don't be intimidated by the game sign-up either, don't feel like you have to sign up more than you want to, Logan does a great job of making any session fun and interesting, even if you don't have a regular session/group.
My recommendation is to go to the link given by Dack. Read that thread (or at least the first post). Use the character sheet / point spending resource links in that thread to build your character. Don't worry about trying to min-max or that you are spending points on silly things, I honestly don't think either of those things are a possibility the way Logan runs his games. Then pick a day and play a session. If you have any experience with RP systems in general you will pick up this system really quickly.
If you have any other concerns, feel free to DM me, since I believe I am the greenest regular player right now, I probably shared many of your concerns and they would be freshest to me.
