@Shoryu MagamiWell, I have been out of home most of the day thanks to school and work, so I couldn't place my opinions yet. I hope it doesn't make it look like I'm not engaged with this idea, since I've been keeping tabs of it as closely as I can. In fact, I'm even working on a CS with the fields you provided and planning for those that might come later.
Anyway, here go my two cents. I won't elaborate on Age, since you already reached a conclusion and, frankly, it would really feel redundant, given that we are providing birth dates, already. As for the question about an "Also known as" section, I think it's good to have, if only because most people will have at least a moniker to which they may be called and, say, in case of a transgender character, they may not use their birth name at all unless demanded by law.
Info like sign (Western or Chinese), blood type, etc might not be very important as well, though I like a bit of trivia such as this, it eventually turns a CS into something unhandy to write if you start adding categories. But this brought to me a few questions. What about family relationships, social status/class, potentially, sexual orientation (I'm not very fond of this, but I figure some may be), and other odd information. Do you have any plans to add them? Or can we provide extra bits we think on, maybe on an extra info/trivia section on the CS? By this very way of thought, wat could be public or not, since most of this info is not very 100% private on the days of today anymore and some might even be celebrities onto themselves, so people naturally could know more about their characters. One last bit, maybe, a short description/concept of the character could be a good thing to make public, so that people can get what the idea behind your character is in a brief synopsis, without the need to actively know any info that might be private/secret? Something like:
"Ana is a very cheery young woman, who's working hard on achieving her degree, after getting on a top notch college through scholarship. She likes books and is very fond of long discussions on her favorite genre, horror, and author, Stephen King. Despite her seeming naivete, Anna's smile hides the practiced lore of one used to working hard for long hours in the Indian farmstead where she was raised along with seven other siblings by a couple of loving parents."
I think this gives a good base for other players to interact, instead of a plain black box, without giving too much as well.
Since you already relied to Pudding's question regarding stylization of the CS models, I'll not ask about that as well. I'll say that my public CS will not be heavily tweaked, just a bit of color to make it better readable/more visually pleasant.
I guess this is all I had for the time being.
By the way, would you like to take an advanced look on the CS's public part that you provided here or on a PM? Or should we wait until more is added, and just keep working on our characters? Because I have a very interesting/solid concept in mind at this moment and would like your opinion once I can actually get past the initial draft, sometime up to this Wednesday~Thursday.
Either way, I think I said too much already. Let's leave it at this. I wait fr the reply.
PS:
I forgot to add, what about spoken/known languages? This is a fairly important affair for a real world RP, after all.
