Yeah, it's player choice - February round is shinki-only for balance purposes (since sometimes we end up with a lot of gods waiting on getting shinki), but if you're more into god then March round will be back to normal, and you also get to pick the options for what god you want the character to be (as long as it's one not already taken by someone). It's all part of the app, so it's pretty straightforward, there are certain parts to fill if you're going with god and certain others for if you're going with shinki.

No problem! I'm always glad to see more Homestuck folks around.
