Below is a suggested character template to help you get your character going, but again, it is only a suggestion. Feel free to modify this in any way that you like, or use a different template completely.
Name: Simple. What’s your characters name?
Age: How old are they?
Gender: Male, female, something else?
Height: How tall?
Weight: What about how heavy they are?
Physical Description: Besides the two listed, what else do they look like? What color is their hair, how long is it, what kind of style, what color are their eyes, what kind of clothes do they wear? The amount of detail you put in here is totally up to you, but the more you put in, the more we can see your character as you do.
Personality: How does your character act? What are their likes and dislikes?
History: Tell us a bit about your characters past! What kind of family do they have, how was life growing up, what were some major events that occurred, etc. This can make or break a character, so take your time with it.
Genre: Where will you be RPing with this character? For example, if this is a .hack character, you would place “Anime - .hack” here.
Character Organization
If you plan to have more than one character, it is strongly recommended that you find a way to organize them. A good way to do this is to make a single thread in the Compendium, then simply post each character you decide to make in that thread. However, feel free to do whatever works best for you, as long as everyone has easy access to your sheets.
Regarding Canon characters, or figures of importance.
Canon characters may be played on the agreement that you will keep them Canon, unless you’ve stated the kind of RP you’re playing in is AU. This means that if you decide to play Sasuke, you will portray the Sasuke that Kishimoto has developed. He does not have a bijuu, he does not own a pet dragon, he is not secretly Kakashi’s son. Of course, if this is an AU Naru-verse, feel free to have any of those things occur.
Blood relations to Canon characters are acceptable. However, a friendly warning that these kind of characters may lable you as a ‘sue’ or ‘stu.’ For more information about these characters, please see the RP 101 thread.
Figures of importance are any characters that may appear in the main storyline and history of one of our original forums. These characters are for storyline purposes only, and may NOT be played. Only staff are capable of playing these characters, and only under certain conditions. They may not be a main character, but they may be NPC’d if a member requests to interact with them (should the specified character still be living.)
Character Death
To prevent people from creating disgustingly powerful character and just rushing into threads, slaughtering people that are only trying to have fun, characters are only dead unless the player declares them so. If fighting breaks out in an RP, chances are that it was planned by both parties anyway. Don't be a bully; if someone's trying to build a storyline, don't pick a fight just so you can try and kill them. Instead, maybe join their plot, and lead up to an epic battle at the end :)
