Please title your finished threads with a tag followed by your character's name. One thread per character. Wait for staff approval before playing the character.

Pets and familiars count as separate characters from the person they are attached to.

Tags:
[WORK IN PROGRESS] - Pretty self-explanatory. We won't hassle you too much about these unless you ask for critique.
[PENDING] - So you've got it all nice and polished? Slap this tag on it and we'll approve or deny it ASAP.
[DENIED] - Still needs work, we'll PM you the details.
[DELETE] - A profile you no longer want there. We'll delete the thread ASAP.

Once approved, we'll move your thread to the appropriate section and PM you letting you know.

Please don't make your character sheets too long or short - 1-3 paragraphs should do for the sections that are expected to be longer, save for the Roleplay Sample.

Character sheets should be posted in a similar format to this:

Name:
Species:
Age:
Appearance:
Personality:
History:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Quirks/Misc. Information:
Roleplay Sample (only needed for your first character):


A more in-depth explanation of each:

Name - Pick a name that's fitting of your character's race and social class. I'll allow some freedom here, but don't pick something stupid or we might reject your character sheet.

Species - Pretty self-explanatory.

Age - A reasonable age for your character's race. There are no thousand year old humans. Feel free to give something vague like "child", "adolescent", etc, if you wish.

Appearance - What your character looks like. Are they fat? Short? How long is their hair? Is their grooming up to par?

Personality - Are they trusting? Naive? Batshit insane? This is where to tell us. ~1 paragraph suggested.

History - We don't need their whole history - just the interesting parts. Walls of text will not be approved. Minimum one paragraph, maximum four. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that the amount of villages that can be burnt down in Tia'Orre is finite.

Strengths and Weaknesses - They absolutely must have weaknesses. An don't try to pull any lame obscure or inconsequential ones; we don't tolerate Mary Sues around here.

Quirks/Miscellaneous - Any other information we should know. Optional field.

Roleplay Sample - 3-5 paragraph story about your character, just so we can see where you're at in your roleplay. Only required for your first character.
