This thread is where Squimay and I will be working on a newbie guide through character creation and such.
PostPosted: Sun Jul 10, 2011 5:38 pm


This is a guide on character creation, each chunk of the profile will have a description under it of the more troubling issues while more basic information will just be included in the code under or beside the part in question; between squiggly lines or whatever they're called (~).

[align=center][color=black][size=29]N[/size][/color][u][color=grey][size=18]ame[/size][/color][/u] [color=black][size=29]H[/size][/color][u][color=grey][size=18]ere[/size][/color][/u][/align]
[align=center][size=9]
~A picture of you're RPC, keep it in the center to keep the profile from wigging out.~

[size=12]╫Main Information╫[/size]

[b]Full Name:[/b]
[b]Nicknames:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b] ~please be reasonable with this~
[b]Birthdate:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b] RPC Gender
[b]Nation:[/b] ~One of Axiom's nations, or The Spire~
[b]Rank:[/b]
[b]Title:[/b]
[b]Bloodline:[/b]
[b]Class:[/b]
[b]Strength:[/b]
[b]Speed:[/b]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/size]


The Title
Start by replacing the "N" and the "H" with the initial letter of the first and last name respectively. The rest of the names fill the "ame"and "ere" spots so it resemble something like this;
Name Here
There's no rules when it comes to the name used or the colors of the title, but just remember it needs to be readable.

Ranking and Titles
As stated in the code, new characters will be Trainees and Citizens unless that character has been auto-ranked to fill a position (this is very unlikely to happen for new members).

Bloodlines
The bloodline of your character is synonymous with their race and you must submit a Bloodline Request before submitting your character's profile. It determines their base stats, their appearance and natural abilities. Certain Bloodlines have been limited due their capabilities and they should have an up-to-date list on the availability of free slots.

Classes
The Class of you character will help make that character more unique and help define what they specialize in. Additionally they modify the stats of you character and each have unique sets of skills found in the Skill List sub-forum.

Strength and Speed
The strength and speed of your character is what determines what you character is physically capable of, with 5 being the equivalent number of what the average human is capable of.

Demons
This is just a side-note on demons, they will be removed from Axiom at the end of the Sin Arc, and currently all have a host.

Energy Meter
The Energy Meter is extremely important when it comes to using your skills. Most new characters will have 350 energy to start, but because of certain Class and/or Bloodline benefits, they will have more or less energy to start off with.

Battle Strengths & Weaknesses

These can either be filled out by copy and pasted directly from the Class and Bloodline of that character, or random little bits based on personality as long as they do not make that character stronger or weaker when compared to someone of the same Class and Bloodline.

Talents
A Talent is a completely unique ability for you character only. There are some restrictions on talents, like your character can not have a pre-existing talent or you can not have "free" stat boosts.

[/size]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Equipment
Anything that can not be classified as a weapon or armor (excluding clothes) should be listed here. This should include any Poisons/Drugs/Potions, Rounds or Machines/Technology

Weapons and Armor
Weapons and can obviously be an important part of your character. You are allowed to start off with extremely basic weapons and armor, but if it has a special power of any kind, you must submit it for approval in the Custom Weapons and Armor thread.

Skills
This is where you will list any and all skills that your character learns. With very rare occasions there are some skills that have no rank attached to them, these are passive skills that are natural abilities of certain Bloodlines or Classes. Also it is possible to create Custom Skills, though they most be learned in RP. Lastly Learning skills become increasingly more difficult with higher ranked skills, though it is possible to decrease the time needed to learn each skill.

Hand to Hand Styles
Hand to Hand skills follow a unique training method were the practitioner must first master each stage of a style before learning the skills from that stage. Mastering each stage requires double the posts of skills of equivalent rank. For example; the first stage is equivalent to an E-Rank skill, so it requires 6 posts to master.

Right. And we also need a list of the most common bloodlines and what classes they can be. As well as standard variations on energy levels from the most common bloodlines and classes.
PostPosted: Sun Jul 10, 2011 5:46 pm


Alright. I'm going to take the Speed and Strength, and energy, and start making all of the variations.

sounds good, I'll keep working on the profile guide.
PostPosted: Sun Jul 10, 2011 5:51 pm


If you'd like, since I don't really understand all the inner workings of the nuances of this guild I can proofread it for you guys. If it's too complicated for me to understand, it'll be too complicated for a newbie to understand.

Much better! That's much easier to read and understand. I especially like the bit where it says what class that particular bloodline can be. Makes choosing both a class and bloodline much easier.

I suggest you move the bloodline approval thread into the profile sub forum. Doesn't make much sense to create a profile in one sub forum then go to another to apply for the bloodline.

Also giving a format of getting started:

1. View the profile skeleton here.

2. You must then choose a class and a bloodline, you may view a list of classes here, and bloodlines here.

Additionally for skills for classes and information on elements and elemental skills look here.

3. When choosing a bloodline you should then apply for the bloodline here.

4. You may determine your stats and energy by looking at the threads here, and here respectively.

5. Finally make a biography for your character and choose a nation, the nations available and a brief summary of each may be found here. For a better understanding of each nation you may look at the subforums of the same names.

This is just a small amount but there is more to explain such as talents and custom skills and summons.

You're forgetting the individual for each segment.

Actually, nevermind, I missed them. I'm unsure.
