Oh, dear, gosh. There is no defined parameters for how exactly the presentation of the character is supposed to be written.

Whelp. This should be potentially chaotic and amusing. Hah.

Geesh, restrictions, how did you know I instantly thought of space pirates!? XD

Generally GMs will setup CS templates with attributes such as:
[List][*]Name
[*]Age
[*]Gender
[*]Bio[/list]
That's usually the necessities, but if I were to place things like trinkets, weapons, quotes, or even a prologue snippit, then I'm steering it towards [i]my[/i] style of writing rather than your own. Does it make the process chaotic and amusing... hell yes, but isn't that what makes Character creation fun when you have random tidbits of info! :lol

Question: What is your policy with faceclaims? People who can draw their own art, or afford a commission are at a decent advantage.

How you design the CS is your decision. Many people are happy to use faceclaims in a normal RP situation so there is no reason why you cannot do it here. Remember though, people will most likely be judging your CS on the information clarity and not just the fancy BB coding — although a general presentation will be better than a cramped block of text.

On that token, if you happen to be someone who is judging another — and voting for them — based on design style alone, then you are probably missing the objective of the competition (that is to hone your skills in creating interesting and balanced playable characters).

As for commissions... Your money, your choice. This is nothing more than a jellybean raffle. Personally I wouldn't pay for a faceclaim, but you may have a different outlook on that subject. If you do obtain a commission though, make sure you credit the artist.

I do realise that some hiccups and questions may be around for a while until we narrow down the right setup. :sun
