In this Roleplay, you really have two options for character submission. The first is to submit a character that fits the profile of one of the Roles listed Under the
EA information thread or the
Troy information thread. While I prefer it that way, I will allow members to create a truely unique character on either side of the war, however these profiles must fit the context and setting of this Roleplay, and are not to overlap roles who have already been taken. Meaning, If Achilles is taken, you cannot create a character who sounds just like Achilles anyway.
Guidelines for Profile Submission:1.
Write a lot! I have slots in the Profile Skeleton for you to fill out, because I feel that they are important. Unless I say otherwise, you really do need to fill out every space on the Skeleton. And please, please, please no One liners. I'll like you a lot more if you are thorough and professional with your profile, and that helps your chances to get approved!
2.
Be original! Sure I'm basing all of the charactes off of existing characters, but I'm leaving a lot open for you to to make your own. Tweak some interesting history into your bio, Give your character some Flaws as well as strengths.
3.
Be true to the Slot you're applying for! I know, I just told you to be original. But I do expect you to keep to your role in the RP as whatever character you choose. Dont go and pick the prettyboy "Paris" if you wanna go out there and be a friggin war hero, it just doesnt work that way.
4.
Get to KNOW your characters, not their abilities! Winning a battle is not the most important thing to consider when creating your character. Give them a personality, a strong history. Make them fun to play, and play with!!!
5.
Lastly, No Mary-sues. Perfect characters are hated by all! I expet every character to have flaws in some way or another. You cannot win every fight, and you cannot be loved by all. Deal with it.
