--PROFILE WALKTHROUGH--

[Rai]

Okay! For your sanity, as well as those of our mods/staff, this is a little walkthrough to show you what we expect in profiles. It's worth it to read this, because what better a way to make a profile than by already knowing what we expect?

CHARACTER NAME: Pretty straight forward. The name of your character. In profiles, we only require FIRST and LAST. If your name takes up more than one line, feel free to have either just their first, just their last, or a most commonly used name in place of first name. However, you NEED to have their full name somewhere else in your profile.

Creature characters are the same, though they are the only ones allowed to have only one name.

AGE: As it stands, your character can be whatever age you want to. For human characters, try between 12 and 35, though you can be older and younger if you want to. Creature characters, just make yours realistic. Creatures can obviously last longer, but the lore behind them does usually mention rough ages estimates.

GENDER: Pretty straight forward. Female. Male.

DOB: Date of birth. When were they born? Need to have Month and Day, year is optional.

SEXUALITY: Is your character heterosexual? Homosexual? Asexual? Pansexual? What?

RACE: Are they Human? Possessed? Bound? Creature? You only have those four options, though, for those rping creatures, please make sure to state what breed of creature somewhere.

FACECLAIM: Who your character's playby/faceclaim is. Character name and what series they're from is required. Creatures do not need a claim, though can have one if they want. If you choose not to have one, make sure you write a detailed full appearance.

HEIGHT and WEIGHT: Make these realistic. Please. A 6' tall guy is not going to way 130lbs unless he's a stick. A VERY underweight and skinny stick. A good site to look at for this is this one.

FULL APPEARANCE: Your character's fully written out appearance in paragraph form. We require two paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each. What it could include could be facial structure, hair style, hair color, eyes, usual clothing, type of clothes they like to wear, accessories, scars, tattoos, and so on.

FULL PERSONALITY: Your character's full written out personality. Three paragraphs of at least 5 sentences each are required. If you have trouble thinking of what to write here, take a look at personality charts, or draw out important traits. If your character is a total dick, go on to explain how much of a dick he is to people, why, what sort of actions does he do, are there any kinds of people he's more of a dick too than others?

LIKES and DISLIKES: Five of each at least are required. Otherwise, go wild. We can't tell you what your characters like or dislike.

STRENGTHS: What is your character good at? On top of that, when in a fight, what are their strengths? Are they quick? Strategic? Defensive? You need four of these.

WEAKNESSES: What isn't your character good at? As well as in a fight, what do they lack? Defense? Physical strength? Do they just rush into things without thinking? Need four of 'em.

HOBBIES: There's no certain minimum, but what does your character like to do?

OCCUPATION: What does your character do. If you're a Heaven's Gate member, put that here. If your character is attending school, put that here. Or even side jobs or full time work.

NOTES OF INTEREST: This is probably one of the most important bits. This is where, for possessed, bound, or creatures, to list what their abilities are. Is it fire? Illusions? Maybe a certain trait like increased physical strength? You should also list what sort of creature you are (imp, kitsune, cu sith, so on), whether possessed, bound, or a normal creature. This helps the staff keep track of things.

This is also where you can list any important items (like infused objects) or important weapons for any normal humans or Heaven's Gate members.

FULL HISTORY: Your character's full history. What made them into the person they are today? Remember that contracts, though they existed in the past, were rare and uncommon, and only recently started gaining popularity within the past 5 years.
