Main Characters
I'm sure that most of us have a good idea how to make a good character sheet. You will find that most of what I ask for is completely normal, with a few exceptions unique to this RP. Formating of your character sheet is completely up to you. I just need the information to all be there. If you have any questions, please ask them in the Q&A section. For now though, read the character sheet layout below:
Name: John Doe (What is your character's real name?)
AKA: Mr. Awesome (OPTIONAL; Does your character have an alternate name?)
Race: Human (Is this character a human, one of the indigenous races, or something new entirely?)
Age: 60 (The years here pass approximately 3 times as quickly. Thus a human that is 20 by our standards would actually be 60 years old here.)
Gender: Male (OPTIONAL: Is your character's gender distinguishable?)
Home Land: Frioli, Hybrida (Which region and continent is your character from?)
Current Location: Sentia, Tekhnologia (Where is your character's last known location.)
Appearance: (You may insert a picture here and/or provide a description.)
Biography: (How has life been for your character up to the point that you are joining this story? If you are joining in long after this site has launched, please read through the plot summaries for the entire planet, your character's home continent, and your character's domain. This might effect your biography.)
Personality: (Provide us with some insight into your character's state of mind.)
Equipment: (OPTIONAL; Does your character carry weapons, enchanted items, or anything item that is close to their heart?)
Running Biography
(You don't have to update this every month. It really depends on how active you want to be, but it is advisable that you have this up to date before starting a new story. That way others know what to expect out of your character. Keep these summaries short, as you will most likely be writing a lot of them. Maybe even just a few sentences with links to any stories you were a part of during that time period.
5020-Q1: (Maybe you had a highly eventful quarter of a year and would like to provide a short summary of it.)
5020-Q2 to 5020-Q4: (Maybe you had to take a couple months off from this site. No problem, what was your character doing in the mean time?)
5021-Q1 to 5021-Q3: (Maybe you've been active in writing a short story once a month but have forgot to update this section of your character sheet. That's cool, sum it all up in one fail swoop.)
That's it! Simply create a thread in this "Submissions" board. Then wait for me to reply to your post before you start playing as this character, just in case something needs to be changed. Don't worry much though. I'm not going to be too restrictive. Don't create an OP'd character, and make sure all the required info is there, and you should be good to go.
You will also need to make sure you go back and update your profile regularly. This includes: changing your character's age once every four months, updating your 'Running Biography', editing your 'Equipment' section as needed, keeping us up to date on your character's 'Current Location', and changing your character's appearance as he/she ages and gains life experience. You don't have to do this every time something changes, but you do need to have your character sheet up to date before you start a new story with others.
PS: Be careful not to write too much or to little when giving descriptions. You want people to be enticed to read your character sheet, not intimidated by it's word count. At the same time, you want to provide something unique and may need more than a few sentences to sum it up. I'll leave that up to your own judgement.
