Please note that (due to the fact that coding for guild forums is still stuck in Gaia's stone age) this format was kept painfully simplistic. If you want to spice it up, add some personal flair, be my guest! Just make sure that the coding won't mess up. You will be expected to have nice layouts for posts, but don't worry about making it too complex.

CHARACTERTIPS- - -


1. Although I listed a three paragraph minimum for bios, you don't necessarily have to cover your entire life. You can leave out bits and chunks, or just sort of dance around certain topics. Since many bios will be done in first person, this is made easier to do. You can leave out bits of history to be revealed later.

3. Also, your bio does not necessarily need to be radically detailed. A good summary usually gets the point across without being long-winded.

4. Even 'normal guy' stories can be made radically different just with the characters intentions. For instance, if you take a nerdy ravenclaw with a completely average background, but make his aspiration to be the next dark lord, then you've got one spiffy character!

5. Doubling is a good way to make other people happy. And by other people, I mean me. Plus, when you just aren't feeling one character, just put him to bed and pick up your second character! Contrary to popular, belief, both characters do not need to be active at once.

6. For strengths and weaknesses, while magic is (obviously) a major factor, your characters will have normal weaknesses as well. Inability to speak publicly, can't think straight when he gets worked up, incapable of lying, etc. Your characters are human (or vampire, werewolf, centaur, you get it) first, and wizards second.

7. So let's say you have a great idea for a character who's, let's say, nerdy. Well you go look at the other characters already submitted, and what's this? Someone made a nerd character? Like that nerdy Ravenclaw from number 4? GOD DAMN IT, NOW YOU HAVE TO START ALL OVER. No, you don't. Remember that thing about being human? Humans have lots of traits and characteristics that make them individuals. And people have some traits in common. It's how we make friends!

8. Check the Families and Blood Relations thread. I update it as I'm able, and sometimes people have family members who could be in school, too. Sometimes people want these family members to be played by someone else. This way you get a cool story to work off of, and a nice setup for lots of fun pre-planning. Speaking of which, PRE-PLANNING IS YOUR FRIEND.

9. I'll add more as people present them to me, as I come up with them, and so on. Also, I skipped number 2. See, that's what you get for not paying attention.
