Forget the current characters, we're talking about the next generation! Whether your submission is the high flying daughter of your avian Faunus or the ever stoic son of your wannabe guardian, the stage is set for the child of your character to get their own time in the spotlight. This assignment's going to be a bit different, in that I'm expecting you to do two things. First, you need to create a short profile establishing the parts of your character that you may not reveal in the second section. This section is mostly to keep you from having to use stiff, expositive dialogue to bring the details you need to your character, if it wouldn't fit in your scene. Profile Form: Name: Parents: Age: Gender: Race: Weapon: Semblance: Personality: Appearance: Biography: A short note: This is what I want to see from your character. If you can easily work in a section, you don't have to fill out that profile blank. However, I expect to see all of these details. I expect the first four sections won't be too difficult to work in, but some (like weapons, semblance, and a lot of the details of appearance) might be more difficult to fit in. Personality should be the shortest, as I should be able to see it from your story. Biography is for the [i]set up[/i] for the second section of this contest. Secondly, I want you to write a short story, showing your kid interacting with his or her parents, or the most significant adult in their lives. Work in every detail you can about them, their relationship with this adult, etc, but don't do so at the cost of flow and style--that's what the profile part is for. A few rules and guidelines 1. Emphasis for your profile and story should be focused on how the kid relates to the parent. Resemblance often goes more than skin deep, and I want to see that likeness. You aren't creating a standalone character. 2. I'd like your story section to be no longer than 1500 words, but I won't enforce that as a hard limit. However, if I think you're fluffing or including unnecessary stuff, I won't be the happiest Kaithas. 3. Profile length should not be super long. I'm looking at you, Onarax. 4. I want this to be the child of your canon character, not an evil dimension version. But they can have changed after after a child. 5. You're free to set this whenever you want, but I'd suggest when the kid comes of age or is in their teenage years. Babies aren't so motivating. 6. If you want your kid to have another PC as their other parent, please ask the player ahead of time. See the list below for those who have granted their permission for anyone. 7. Music isn't necessary, but a theme or soundtrack might increase my enjoyment of it XD Universal Permission: Note: It's generally a good idea to PM someone even if they've granted universal permission, just to see what they've planned for their character and to get their advice.
