[ Character Creation Template ]

In order to create an RPC that will not only meet our standards but yours as well, you should follow this walkthrough that Akira has created.
It contains resources for names, guidelines for what age your Character is likely to be, and other resources, too.
Here's the template and what belongs in each, as well as where you can find the information you may be lacking.
------------------------------------------------

[Player Information]

Username: Your username on our website.
Contact: Your AIM, MSN, or other Instant Messenger name.
Substitutes: Who you trust to RP your characters for you in your absence. "Nobody" is acceptable.
RP Experience: How long have you been RPer? How good do you think you are?

[Character Information]

Name: The name of your character. Must be Japanese. Click [Here] for examples.
Age: Your Character's age. (Genin: 15.) (Chunin: 17+.) (Jounin: 21+.) (Kage: 30+)
These guidelines can be bent a bit, but don't go overboard.
Gender: Male or Female.

Appearance: Describe your character's looks; eye color and shape, facial features, ears, body type, height, clothing, location of weapon holsters and item pouches, location of headband, etc.
Personality: Describe your character's personality; how does she act? Does she have any quirks or strange mannerisms, such as speaking only haiku or being terrified of shadows? Is he cold, withdrawn, and antisocial, or friendly, warm, and energetic? Is she stubborn or flexible? Intelligent or average, or even a bit slow? What are her values and beliefs? How does she treat herself and other people?

History: Describe your character's past, including Childhood and Genin/Chuunin/Jounin careers if applicable. What was your character's family like? Large or small? Are his or her parents still alive? What do they do? Do they get along with your character? Where did he or she grow up? Was he wealthy? Was she adopted? What were some major developmental events that occurred during her childhood? Were any close friends made? Did he fall in love? Did he experience the death of a loved one?
Anything that you feel is important should go here. But keep in mind that we don't want a million Sasuke Clones; not everyone had their parents murdered. In fact, that's very rare in a well protected hidden village.
Most likely, your character's parents are alive and well, and the same goes for his or her siblings. Don't be lazy and write them off; include them in your character's life!

Nindo: Your character's "Way of the Ninja" ; his or her goal or core belief about the world.

[Shinobi Information]

Level: Your Character's Level. (Genin: 1.) (Chuunin: 10.) (Jounin: 20.) (Kage: 30.)
Experience Points: (Genin: 0/100.)
Rank: Genin, Chuunin, Jounin, or Kage.
Class: Missing-nin, medical ninja, ANBU, etc.
Home Village: Where is your character from?
Current Village/Affiliationo: Where is your character now?
Clan/Guild: Your Character's Clan or Guild. Click [Here] for Clans. Click [Here] for Guilds.
Elemental Affinity: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, or Water. Jounin+ can choose two of these.
Languages: Common + your home village's native language.

There are tons of details you can come up with if you try.

What is your character like? Easy going? Stubborn? Easily frightened? Rebellious? Competitive?
How does it act in various situations? Under stress? While afraid? While sad? While determined?

History: 8 sentences describing your character's background.
Your RPC's childhood should be described. If your RPC's rank is above Genin, you should describe those years, as well.
