CHARACTER GUIDELINES
So you want to add a character?
STEP 1: Fill in the basic character biography template (posted below) making sure to fill in the given fields to the best of your ability before you add anything else.
STEP 2: Add in as much other information as you like! The post doesn't have to be a certain length but we are in no way limiting what you can pu up there for your character. If it's easier for you to work with your characters with a long bio, or there is something relevant that you would like to include that is not there, go for it. DO NOT POST YET!
STEP 3: Follow this link: http://www.springhole.net/writing/marysue.htm and answer the questions ONLY in parts 1, 4 and 5. Think carefully about your answers, check your Sue-Score and adjust your character accordingly. Mary-Sues are tolerated in small doses only, because we live in perpetual fear of her reign of terror.
STEP 4: When your character is finished and checked against the above website, post your finished character profile in the Character Creation section and jump on into a roleplay!

While these are the required basics of character biographies in this forum, i want to stress that you can add whatever you like. You can also leave something out if there is reason enough to do so; if, for instance, you are not intending to join any of the Feudal based forums you obviously won't need to add to 'Weapons', so if anything is entirely not applicable to your character, don't stress it.
You can link to a picture online if you like for their appearance, but if you choose to do this, make sure that there is still an apt description in writing.
Feel free to ask myself or any other members in the 'Say Hello' box if you have any questions.
