Genre-specific Character Forms; We should have some

There should be genre-specific character forms. :/ A general one works fine in general I suppose, but how about those roleplays where there are more facets than just what is put on the general form?

For instance, a Naruto character should have the type of jutsu they excel at, their elemental affinities, specific ninjutsu they can do, and whatnot.

A Warrior Cat should probably have their clan, and title.

Uhm... A fantasy character should probably have their class (ie. warrior, mage, thief, etc.), magical ability, fighting style, armor preference, and whatnot.

I'm sure there's more but my brain isn't working at 100% right now. xD

That's actually a good idea, it would save the hassle of heavily editing the current template to be able to get everything in for a specific genre...

That is a nice idea that would probably help many people.

The general form was to give people the ability to shape whatever they want on it whenever they want too, but it never occurred to me to actually create separate forms for different genres. It probably should have at some point, but never really did.

Does anyone have a template that should be made first?
I think a fantasy / medieval character actually would be the best first choice to make a form for specifically, since they're used often.

Should we just make a board or something and start with one genre, have everyone pool their ideas together for it, create it, edit it, and then move onto the next genre?

I'm not explaining this very well. xD

Like, say we did start with Fantasy.
We would then have people come and suggest what all should be on the template.
Then put it together.
Then stick it up for everyone to see.
Edit whatever needs to be edited.
Then on to the next one.

That make sense?

...
Well if it does, I'd suggest that for a fantasy character, you should include:

Class (i.e. Warrior, Thief, Sorcerer/ess, Monk, Cleric, Necromancer, Elementalist, Ranger, etc.)
Weapons of choice
Magical aptitude (What kind of magic and how well they can use it)
Armor class (Heavy, Light, Cloth)
Artifacts (As in enchanted objects possessed by character)
Fighting Style (Hand to Hand, Ranged, or something more specific)
**Kingdom hails from
**Where their loyalties lie
**Who their underlings are (if applicable)

Why make another board? That's what this one is for. xD
We can just use this one.

That is a good start for a fanstasy character. Does anyone else have anything to add to it?

But I wanted to start the Warriors one first. I actually made a sample myself, so let me grab that and edit this post.

-uber cool form goes here-

That sounds a lot like a Dungeons & Dragons template. I would just file stuff like that under 'Other', because I really wouldn't know otherwise. I haven't had my fantasy charcater long, so she's not developed enough for that. O_o
