[center][h1][color=f6989d]Character Creation Guidelines[/color][/h1][/center] [color=f6989d][b]First)[/b][/color] There are only two formatting guidelines for this RP. One, put your character sheet in a hider, and label the hider with the name of your character ([i]the name your character usually uses to introduce themself[/i]). If you don't know how to use hiders, look through the [color=f6989d]"formatting cheatsheet"[/color] at the bottom of the page. The second formatting guideline is to simply include all the required information in the same order they are mentioned. Otherwise you are allowed to make your character sheet look as fancy or as simple as you like. [color=f6989d][b]Second)[/b][/color] Each section of a character sheet has its own requirements and sometimes a set of options from which to choose ([i]such as race[/i]). When options are given, you must pick something on the list, or if you want something added to the list, you may reach out to me through DMs and request a new option be added. I will usually approve, as long as it doesn't affect the gameplay or give you any sort of additional advantages.

[/quote] Here is an example Character Sheet: [hider=John] [b]Name:[/b] John Doe (Aka: Average Joe) [b]Age:[/b] 25 [b]Race:[/b] Human [b]Appearance:[/b] John has brown hair, brown eyes, and olive skin. Nothing about his appearance is "remarkable", but he's not an "ugly" person either. If the dictionary actually used pictures, it would just be a picture of his face. [b]Personality:[/b] John is usually a quite person, but he can hold his own in a conversation, especially when he's surrounded by his friends. He has a kind soul, but when he drinks, he does get a little rude and uninhibited... like pretty much anyone. [b]Biography:[/b] John, a lifelong resident of his quaint hometown, shares a deep-rooted connection with the place that has been his constant companion since birth. Within the confines of this close-knit community, John's life has flourished in the embrace of family and familiarity. With the recent invention of the printing press. John has become the town's first newspaper publisher, editor, and reporter. He manages a small team, and with the small size of his town, his printing business doesn't look like it will grow any time soon. Although, he doesn't find this upsetting in the least. John cherishes the simplicity of his domestic existence, with a tight-knit family that has been the bedrock of his journey. The bonds he shares with his loved ones are the defining chapters of his life, offering him solace in a town where everyone knows each other's stories.

But to aid in your roleplaying emersion, here's a more detailed list of terms. [b]Stats:[/b] The six basic measurements for a character's mind and body. Each stat begins at 1 and maxes out at 20. 1 is as average as a normal person. 20 is nearly god-like. Here are some benchmarks to keep in mind when thinking about each of these stats... [indent][b]Strength:[/b] 5 = You can pick up and crush large sandstone boulders with some effort. // 10 = You can punch through steel and carry solid objects five times your size. // 15 = You can pummel your way through the side of a mountain, one punch at a time. // 20 = You can blast holes in almost anything with relative ease, and if mountains weren't built into the earth, you could heave one above your head with a single arm.
