So, it's time for you to make a character? Well, here's a simple template to get you started. We ask that you at least fill out the information the template asks for, but feel free to get more in depth if you'd like!
The only section I'd say not to worry too much about if you can't think of anything is the history. You can always go back and add to the character's backstory later, where as the physical appearance and mostly the personality are pretty important from the get-go!
Name
Age
Race
Gender
Physical Appearance
Personality
Weapons
Abilities
History
Strengths
Weakness
Other ideas for things to include might be likes, dislikes, sexual preference, romantic interests or family connections, etc. Like I said before, feel free to get as crazy with it as you want. ^^
Once you're all set, just post a thread in this board with your characters name as the topic and with the appropriate info filled out. :3
Tips on how to get your character accepted!
This is an original character, so make it original!
It's not a crime taking influences from other characters you've seen - that's human nature. Just don't post an exact clone of a pre-existing character. Make sure you give them a personality of their own! :3
Make sure you have a good balance between your character's strengths and weaknesses.
It's boring reading the adventures of someone who can never be hurt or who can just overcome everything with supernatural strength, reflexes, intellect, etc. So just make sure everything balances out.
Post a sample of your roleplaying style!
That right away shows us that you're interested in getting out there and jumping into some roleplays. It also gives us a good feel for your style! :3
Post pictures!
Everyone loves pictures. They help us get a visual idea of what your character looks like, what their clothes look like, their friends or family, etc. If you don't have them, no worries, but if you do, feel free to share them! ^^
Details are GREAT - clutter is not.
I'm all in support of SUPER detailed character profiles. Just make sure you break it up well enough that we can read it without too much difficulty. x3
