Here is how characters will be formatted. Post down below. Accepted characters will be edited into this post.:

Name: First and last name and/or their nickname.

Age: exactly what is says. Don't make your character's age above 60 or below 16.

Gender: male, female, or ambiguous 

Appearance: skin color, eye color, hair color, height, physique beard, tattoos, scars, makeup (though I doubt makeup is abundant here), etc. 

Clothing: what are they wearing? Nothing out of place like body armor. Your character is most likely a civilian who is barely surviving on a day to day basis. 

Weapon of choice: A melee weapon. Can't be as far-fetched as a sword or medieval weapon. Think of something easy to find, A crowbar, for example.
