Character Template; You're probably gonna need to read me.

So before you go using the Template, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

1: Try to make your personality and appearance (if you're doing a text-appearance) to around a paragraph. Remember that that's five sentences, and five sentences isn't saying horribly much. However if you feel that's enough, then that's fine. Also, in terms of personality, be sure to give us a good grasp of the character. It doesn't need to be every little thing about them, but so long as we get a general idea.

2: As mentioned in the template, don't do an unknown history. Even if the character doesn't know his or her history, it still exists in one form or another. So at least give us SOMETHING to work with.

3: Remember that a good cast of characters is a diverse cast. Being students is what ties all the characters at Kamen High together, so after that you're free to create any kind of character that you wish. Don't confine yourself to the cliche brooding emos, or the badasses with a heart of gold. Many students at Kamen High are diverse physically, let's make them diverse mentally and emotionally as well.

4: Remember to check the (relatively short) locked powers list when you start making your two custom powers. Also bear in mind that instead of having a fourth and fifth power, you can have two special attacks your character uses by combination and manipulation of his or her pre-con powers. Don't be afraid to get creative here, people.

5: Remember that Kamen High is not a place for Bishies, folks. This is the place where those metas who make canned news-footage go. and I'm not talking about the bad metas who blow up buildings (though I wouldn't say no to some player villains). I'm talking about the ones who are the REAL freaks. People may call metas who have a normal appearance but have powers freaks, but the people around Kamen High go beyond that. Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Lobster Johnson, these are just a few of the examples of the kind of look we like to see around here. Let your imagination run wild when creating these people!

Code: HTML
 
[b]Name:[/b] (self-exclamatory here, people.)

[b]Age:[/b] (again, kinda self-exclamatory. Generally you're gonna be between the ages of 14 and 18, depending on grade)

[b]Gender:[/b] (Male? Female? Neither? Both?)

[b]Grade:[/b] (9th-12th)

[b]Appearance:[/b] (if you wanna use a picture you can, but remember that hosting sites go down sometimes, so it's good to have a written description.)

[b]Personality:[/b] (Give us a general idea of personality. You don't need to include EVERYTHING, though. Leave some space for your character to grow. Don't be afraid to use stereotype personality and don't be afraid to break away from them. Everyone has more fun when you have a diverse cast of characters)

[b]Powers:[/b] (remember that you have two slots that you can use for your own original powers or attacks, and up to three slots for pre-con powers. Choose wisely.)

[b]History:[/b] (what's your character done before arriving at Kamen High? Try to put some thought into this. Simply putting 'unknown' is unacceptable. everyone has a past, even if they don't remember it...)
