For those wishing to join "Final Fantasy: The Fiction We Live", you should copy the code below, fill it out for your character(s), and post it/them in the Applications thread. If your profile(s) is/are accepted, re-post them in this thread.
LIST OF UPDATES:
Maximum amount of characters per person is now TWO.
"Hero or Villain" section added to profiles. See notes at the bottom of this post for important information on creating a villain.
"Race" section added. New characters can now choose to be Human or Moogle.
This is the basic outline for the TFWL profiles:
[b]Name:[/b] (The character's real birth name; full name, or just first)
[b]Aliases:[/b] (Anything else the character is known as)
[b]Hero or Villain:[/b] (Self-explanatory. Either a hero or villain. I hate to put things in such black and white terms, but it's a necessary evil for now. There are currently two parties: one consisting of heroes, which is currently in Tribal, and one of villains, which is in Palazzo for the time being.)
[b]Race:[/b] (Specify which race the character is. At the moment, the only races available are human and moogle.)
[b]Gender:[/b] (Male or Female.)
[b]Age:[/b] (In years, please)
[b]Zodiac sign:[/b] (If you're not sure about this, just ask, or check the Info Thread)
[b]Left or Right Handed:[/b] (Well that's rather obvious. Your character can be ambidextrous if you wish, but you still need to specify which hand the character uses most, as that is the hand his/her weapon shall be equipped to.)
[b]Hometown:[/b] (At the moment, the hometowns available for heroes are Gabbiani, Relm, and Rosa. The only hometown available for villains at the moment is Amoria. Check the Information thread for more details)
[b]Personality:[/b] (Just a description of what the character is like. You can make it as detailed as you want, or just a brief summary. Your choice.)
[b]Likes:[/b] (Things your character likes, obviously...)
[b]Dislikes:[/b] (Again, obvious.)
[b]History:[/b] (Things the character has gone through in his/her life; how his/her life has been; experiences, etc...What led him/her down the path that brought him/her into the picture?)
[b]Appearance:[/b] (Give a description of what your character looks like. Try to keep it at least a little detailed. You may add a picture if you wish, as long as you drew/made it yourself, or asked someone to make it for you. No posting other people's work on here, unless you've ASKED them to create the art FOR YOU. Remember that an image is not necessary, and besides, you can always post one at any later time.)
[b]Job Class:[/b] (What job your character will start out as. There is a small selection of these in the Races/Jobs section of the Information thread. Pick which one you want your character to be, and type it here.)
[b]Aliases:[/b] (Anything else the character is known as)

And that's it. Copy and paste that, erase all the help memos I put in parenthesis, and fill it in. I will add stats, equipment, and whatnot to your character's profile once I've added it to the Main Character list.
And remember, when you're making your character, to be ORIGINAL. Always remember that this is a Final Fantasy-BASED rp. It does not take place in any of the games, or in any of the worlds in any of the games. Brand new world, brand new places, brand new people, brand new rules. What does that mean? I'll tell you what that means. It means that NO, you CANNOT be Sephiroth. NO, you cannot have the Ultima Weapon. No, you cannot be the relative of any famous pre-existing characters from the games. Yes, just about every place in the world I've created is inspired by or named after someone or something from the games. Yes, there are many NPC's named after old characters. But that is simply because this RP, for the most part, is a TRIBUTE to the greatness that is Final Fantasy. If you want your character inspired somehow by some of your favorite characters, then hey, fine, go ahead; after all, my character's (original, not current. XD) clothing design is loosely inspired by that of Zidane Tribal from FFIX. But PLEASE, for the most part, keep it original. You have an imagination, yes? USE IT!
Other important notes:
I've removed the restriction of only having one character. Until further changes are made, everyone is allowed to create TWO characters.
As for NPC's, if you would like to volunteer to play any of the ones we already have, or if you would like to volunteer to create any NPC's we may eventually need, then feel free. Simply ask in the OOC thread and wait for approval. When we get to a point when we need any more major NPC's, I will post something about it in the OOC or something. As for minor NPC's that aren't really essential to the plot, like say a shopkeeper or a pedestrian on the street, go right on ahead. Those don't require permission, and they may be played by anyone if necessary. Do keep in mind however that most shopkeepers will already have names. You can find them in the Information thread. But you won't have to add the name of those kinds of NPC's at the beginning of your post, as you usually would when playing a major NPC; just keep in mind that they do have names before you go calling them something else.
CONCERNING ANYONE CREATING A VILLAIN CHARACTER:
All villains are currently restricted to Amoria. And for the moment, everything that is going down with the villains is going to be happening in the Thousand-Year Wall. If you are creating a villain, it would be wise to make him or her an Amorian soldier. You don't have to, but it would make explaining your presence in the tunnels a lot easier. IF YOUR CHARACTER IS NOT AN AMORIAN SOLDIER, I will add them to the list (I'm not really making a list, I'm just saying figuratively) of mercenaries/sellswords mentioned by Nikolas in his first post.
You will also be expected to RP quite a few NPC enemies (there are going to be A LOT; I told you the villains were going to be busy xP) for a while. I'll be helping everyone out, so don't stress. ^_^
And....I think that's it for now....
