NuttsnBolts — Roleplayer Guild

@Mahz
So now that I am home I have a bit of time to ask some curiosities.

The reason why I am a fan of the BB code is that it makes it amazingly easy to create a template for others to use. I can place markers for where players can choose colours, where text can go, and even design a preferred layout. The result ends up with a sense of uniformity and precision, in combination with transparency for when a mistake is made.

Examples below:

Male ● Twenty Six ● Hauler Pilot

    P E R S O N A L I T Y    Jackson (also known as JJ) is a fairly easy going and independent individual, a man who doesn't like to plan too far into the future as he believes that it's always interesting when the unexpected happens. Generally he is pretty accommodating of newer people, often brushing off his calm and collected appeal onto others by accident. For the majority of his life he has been a smoker and a drinker, a habit that started off in his younger years and stuck with him even after landing on Awilix.

    A P P E A R A N C E    With a messy mop of dreadlocks and a scruffy unshaven look, Jackson does give off a vibe of someone who is both a little rough around the edges and in touch with his inner self. His clothes typically match this rugged style with JJ choosing an assortment of singlet shirts and old pants over the much regarded tidier, collared looks that the more lavish aspire to wear. Upon his right arm are a series of intricate tribal tattoos that appear to match with his preference in jewellery.

    B A C K G R O U N D / H I S T O R Y    Jackson was your typical delinquent child, a boy who rebelled against all the rules that society had laid out and instead chose to hang around with the wrong crowd of people. Unfortunately his foolish actions ended up catching up to him and from the age of sixteen through to eighteen he spent much of his time in a juvenile detention centre. Upon reaching the age of eighteen he was released and discovered that trying to fend for himself in the real world was quite difficult without a proper education. As a result Jackson ended up working as a sub-contractor to several businesses, learning how to use his hand skills more so than his own intelligence.

As time went on he managed to secure a position aboard the Noah II with the high hopes of surviving the calamity as well as a chance of a new future. What he never expected was that his new role on Awilix would almost mimic that to which he was performing back on earth, leaving the man to feel that it was pointless to fight for a better future and instead enjoy the life that he has.

Due to his younger years Jackson has managed to secure a few connections within the black market districts. He isn't valued customer by any stretch but has enough knowledge to know what's the latest gossip is.

    L U N O S    A B I L I T I E S    Gravitational Manipulation
» C A P A B I L I T I E SGravitational Manipulation is the ability to control the forces around the user in a way that breaks the natural laws of physics. Thanks to these abilities Jackson can now walk up walls, levitate for a short period of time, and ground his stance in a way that makes it difficult for other applied forces to move him. Currently Jackson is only able to alter the gravitational effect applied to his own body but he has noticed on several occasions how some of the smaller items that he touches seem to move in mysterious ways. Often these random effects are short lived and minor but his own curiosity has allowed him to wonder how they will eventually grow and mature.

» D R A W B A C K SDue to Jackson's abilities he will often experience the sensation of Vertigo, causing confusion, disorientation and/or nausea, possibly even unconsciousness after prolonged use.

The question I have is what can be added to help achieve this outcome?

You've also mentioned HTML. Do you think there should be any concerns for people attempting to code something malicious or running some script that may cause issues? I do know deviantART utilised a CSS tool for people's personal blogs, but I don't know if that's a very, very niche market.
