This is the approved template for character profiles. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: ================== 1.) Hit the "quote" button on this post. This will enable you to get the whole profile format, including the bold formatting, so that you won't have to do it yourself or have a mod fix it for you. Neat, huh? 2.) Copy and paste the profile template into the body of a brand new post in the section entitled "Seeking Moderation", which you can find here. 3.) Title the post with your character's name. Nothing else should be in this field. Ignore the topic description, unless you really feel like writing a one-sentence summary of your character, in which case go for it. It's not required. 4.) Take your time filling out the template. You don't have to do it all at once; you can always save the post (by posting it) and come back to it later. No one is going to bother it until you're ready for it to be bothered. 5.) When you're finished with the profile to the best of your knowledge and ability, send a message to a mod asking them to look it over. Please make sure you specify the character's name so that no one gets confused. At this point, a mod will check it to make sure there are no discrepancies between whatever you wrote and the setting we're envisioning, and to make sure you're not writing a character completely out of scale with the setting. If there are no problems, you're good to go, and we'll move the post to "Approved". If there is a problem, see the next step. 6.) If there is a problem with your profile, the mod reviewing it will discuss it with you in private, giving you a chance to explain yourself and perhaps reach a compromise. At this point, you will be asked to revise your profile accordingly and let the mod know when you're done. If all is correct at this point, the mod will move your post to "Accepted". 7.) Once your profile is moved to "Accepted", you may start roleplaying that character in the IC forums. We ask that you add new information to a profile by replying to your profile post and not by editing it, unless you consult a mod and are given permission to do so. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to send a private message and ask. PROFILE TEMPLATE ============== Sections below are explained where it seemed necessary. Self-explanatory sections have been left alone. Please do not reorder the profile or remove any of the included fields, although you may add additional fields or information as necessary. If you cannot fill out a field, simply mark it "N/A" and move on. Name: Aliases/Nickname: Any other name your character goes by on a regular basis, including nicknames, costumed identities, etc. Gender: Include pronouns if you feel they're necessary or applicable. Orientation: On the sexual and/or romantic axes. Whatever you feel is relevant or necessary. You may mark this as "N/A" if you don't find it important to your character. Age: Birthday: Month and day; don't bother with the year. Occupation/Major: If your character has a job, it goes here. If your character is in college and has declared a major and you know what degree they're after, that goes here, too. For example: Student pursuing a bachelors degree in underwater basket weaving. Year: If your character is a student, are they a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior? If things are more complicated, use this field for that (like if they've been in college seven years and changed majors four times but are now 2/3 of the way through their current major - that goes here). Housing: On campus? If so, which dormitory? Off campus? If so, what's the situation? This is where you tell us where your character lives. Height: Build: What does their body shape look like? Are they athletic? Slender? Good muscle tone? No muscle tone? Shaped like a donut? Think about your character's silhouette and describe it here. You'll notice there's no weight section, so try to use this section to give us an idea. Skin Tone: What color is their skin? You can also include details like whether they have freckles, acne, etc. here. Hair: Color, but also details like length, style, texture, etc. Eyes: Color is good. Details are better. Think about eye shape, how they look at others, etc. Identifying Marks: Scars, birthmarks, tattoos, piercings, anything that can be used to identify a body if they die. Those go here. Try to be specific about location. Appearance: Use this section to talk about things like what types of clothing your character prefers, their posture, their gait, or whatever else will help people get a good mental image of them. Get as in-depth as you like and talk about the shape of their nose, or keep things a little less specific. Up to you. Family: Any relatives? Living? Deceased? What kind of relationships do they have with their relatives? Use paragraphs.
Best Friends: Who do they hang with? Who are their bros? Who would they bury a body for? Again, paragraphs!
Relationship Status: Single? Dating around? In a committed relationship? Married? Divorced? Widowed? If you could (ideally) put it in a Facebook status update, you can put it here. Significant Other(s): This is the place to talk about boyfriends, girlfriends, spouses, or whatever else your character calls their super-special someone or someones.
Other Relationships: Do they have enemies? Frenemies? People they cheat off of in class? An awkward past with a TA? Talk about those things here.
Personality: If you write a list of adjectives, we'll send you back to revise. Use complete sentences and write it out. Motivations: Why does this character do what they do? What drives them? Goals: What does this character want out of life? Best Quality: Worst Quality: Fears: Hobbies: Talents/Skills: A talent is a thing you're born good at, like having perfect pitch; a skill is something that can be taught, learned, and practiced, like playing guitar. They're under the same heading here but it's important to note that they are, in fact, not the same thing. Special Abilities: Superpowers. Whatever they are, if they exist, talk about them here. See Superpower Wiki for ideas. Limitations: What kinds of limits do your character's abilities have? Whether it's eating a ton to keep themselves fueled, needing regular exposure to a certain substance, or an upper limit on how strong their super-strength is, those go here. Considerations: Are there any problems your character has to take into account because of their abilities, such as requiring dark glasses because of super -photosensitive eyes or needing specific equipment to help them control/utilize their powers? Write 'em down here. Backstory: Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Character Joe? Edited by Kyo, Jan 4 2017, 11:20 PM.
