The onus in this game is on the present. That means if you write 2,500 words in the "history" portion of your CS I'm going to roll my eyes and skim it in thirteen seconds. Keep the character sheets as short as possible [i]unless[/i] you're deviating massively. Nobody needs to reread a step by step retelling of Bruce Wayne's biography when we're all acquainted with it already.

I think I might opt for post references instead of a sample post too.

This game is not a Near Mint copy of Action Comics No. 1. The point is to roleplay, not to put it on the shelf and never touch it again.
