Creating character profiles

[Addie]

Here is a sample of what a character profile should look. Of course, you can add more or set it up in your own way, but try to include what is seen here. A member-created character development sheet can be found here if you are looking for more to add to your profile. If you need help, don't hesitate to visit the FAQ or ask!

Main:
Name:
Gender:
Species:
Breed: (If your character is a dog)
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Pack:
Parents:
Mate:
Offspring:

Personality:
Exactly who is your character? What drives them, and how do they react around others and certain situations? Are they aggressive, friendly, etc?

Appearance:
What does your character look like? Special markings/scars? What do they wear? You may provide a picture if you have one, as long as it does not violate the rules or copyrights of any kind.

You may also wish to include a drawing of your character. Just be sure it was either drawn by you or you have permission to use the image. If you would rather color a template, a list of temps that are allowed to be used on this forum can be found here.

History:
Don't leave this out! This is what shaped your character to be who they are today, and explains why they are the way that they are. If your character's history is unknown, still give us a general idea of how it was for them growing up (ie: horrible, generally normal, etc.)

Alright, just so we have as little problems as possible, I am going to go ahead and post some rules and tips for creating characters on this board. Please follow them, a'ight?

Rules to Remember When Creating Characters

1. Try not to create a huge amount of characters, and if you can help it, try to keep them all on one account. The recommended amount of characters is below ten.

2. You may not roleplay as a character from the comic, unless you have been assigned to them. Keep your eye on the character trading board if you are interested in role playing a Kloteck Omen character. In addition, you may not play as a character created by another person unless you have their written permission.

3. Your character may not have extreme magical powers, be immortal, or carry weapons of mass destruction. In other words, no godmodding. Check the FAQ and Rules for more information, if you have not already.

4. Balance out your character's talents with flaws. In example, they may be strong emotionally, but weak physically, and so on and so forth.

5. Characters with heights exceeding 3.6 feet must be approved by a moderator before you may play them, and must not have a personality that would cause them to use their size malevolently (violently) against other characters. Visit this thread if you need help establishing a height and weight for your character.

6. Characters must be realistic in description and history. No flying animals that would normally be earth-bound, no demons from the underworld, or anything else that would just be considered outrageous in the real world.
