First Question: Why a wandering ninja?
I'd suggest you at least throw out a few ideas. Write a bit more for your character. Then we can help you more. mrgreen

As for race- I'd go with either human or demon depending on his bio..

I have to say this: be original.
For race, don't go with demon. It's overused. Try something unusual. An angelic ninja would be interestng.
For personality, do not go with the bad-a** type. Again, overused. Try a more realistic personality. Give your character a personality of someone you know, or something like that. But this depends on how often said character fights. It's a lot different for a full-time fighter than someone who likes a spar now and then.
For bio, be creative. There is so much story to create, I can't even begin to nail it down. But please, you parents did not get killed in a fire or in front of you at young age. I hear that a lot.
So, basically, like I said, be original.

I hear that a lot.So, basically, like I said, be original. i am guilty as charged for that one. as for helping you, i basically agree with Kazyan. trying different/unusual things makes a better race, realistic personalities makes a better profile, and creativity makes a better bio instead of using the same 'parents got killed' story.

heres a way you could be original.........have your character be this big ol tough guy that could chop some one down with a single swipe......but here the thing......he hates to kill.....for what ever reason it could help with the profile.....but he would rather die him self then to have to kill......now he can fight.....but he would always try to let his opponent live........he could be the loner type due to a tainted past who is now traveling to try to right the wrongs of his past...................................................that.............or you could just be a crazy guy who likes to bathe in the blood of his victims......but its up to you

That first idea sounds a bit too much like Rurouni Kenshin for my taste- especially considering that the character's in the ninja/samurai genre. But that's just me.
But yeah, think up some kind of quirk. Everybody's seen a ninja. What you need to do is come up with something about him that makes people stop and go "wait, what?" Make him different. ^.^ (And with that, Cap'n Obvious departs!)

Here's a few ideas for you! ^.^
•I'd suggest getting an actual picture, not a Gaia avvy
•What's a Dark Star? Elaborate more on that
•For a race maybe... like half elemental spirit and half something else or even full elemental spirit, demons, nekos, and angels are WAY too over used, I try to refrain from using those three at all costs, I have like TWO characters out of the many MANY I make that are angel or demons, if the rp calls for a demon or angel though...I go half and half...
•Personality wise... if you have a distant character, GIVE HIM A REASON, I hate it when someone makes a mean person when they have no reason to be. A good idea would be like, having him be mean to people but sweet to animals and nature.
•For your bio, maybe a past event that makes him hate people. Don't kill off his family... I see that ALOT. Why not... make his father abusive and his mother ran from that leaving him all alone. For training maybe... have him run at a young age and find a dojo master, train with him until he was like 17 or somthin' and now he wanders.
Hope that helped at all! ^^

Very good advice every one, but I dont think that this person is active in the guild. He never responded to my original suggestion almost two months ago!
