*Intro*
----------------------------------------------------

This is where you will find the information for Profiles.
The Rules are set in stone and will not change.
The Guildlines are temporary rules that are designed to reflect what is needed or acceptable for the guild at the time that you are starting.
So if something is limited or forbidden in the Guildlines, realize that will probably be changing sooner or later.

You will not be posting anything in this thread.
This is all reference and the source of your Profile Skeleton

*Rules*
-----------------------------------------------

First of all, these are the rules pertaining to your profile applications and development, there are also our Main Guild Roles that have to do with conduct and roleplaying. We expect you to be familiar with both.

1. There is a process that is noted in the Game Manual that we expect you to follow. But, I shall repeat it here as well. Read the Main Rules, Read the Codex to become familiar with bloodlines, once you have selected a bloodline for your character create a Bloodline Application so we can be sure that you can roleplay that Bloodline correctly. Once you are approved you use the Profile Skeleton provided below and post your own thread in the Profiles subforum titled with your characters name. From there, the crew will approve/deny/ask for edits for your character. After you are finally approved then you can begin posting in the Nation that your character is aligned with.So, for the sake of redundancy I will say again, before you can fill out and post the below Profile Application you must have an approved Bloodline Application.

2. We are a highly literate guild and want to create an engaging story with interesting plot lines while still allowing our members the free form freedom to persue their own adventures. So in both the Bloodline Application and your Profile Application, make sure that you put your best writing forward here to show us what you can do.

3. We can not stress enough that you MUST be familiar with your Bloodline and play it true. There is room for personality and range of character but each Bloodline has a few characteristics that will not change. ALL Seers are insane. ALL Paladins have an unbreakable moral code. In your Sample and personality and background sections, make sure that you take those elements into consideration for your writing.

4. Please never be discouraged by what we ask of you. Any questions are welcome and encouraged. We want you to be comfortable and have fun!

Profile Skeleton
-----------------------------------------------------

As stated above, before you can post the following Profile Skeleton in your own thread, you must complete a Bloodline Application. Go here for that. You will submit that application IN the Bloodline Application thread. ONCE YOUR BLOODLINE APP HAS BEEN APPROVED, then you can proceed to the next step, which is posting your Profile Application.

And since you are all smart and capable, I'm sure that you didn't need me to tell you that and you are here because you are ready for the next step. To do that you will copy and paste the following code for your Profile Skeleton. From the 'Profiles' sub-forum you will 'Create New Topic' and title it with your characters name and nothing more. Once the staff have had a chance to review it, we will post a status next to your name in the title as to whether you are accepted, declined or needs editting.

If you have any questions, please contact a crew member and we will be happy to assist you.

[size=12]╫Main Information╫[/size]

[size=9]
[b]Full Name:[/b]
[b]Bloodline:[/b]((Realize that we expect you to keep your character in line with the standards of the bloodline that you choose. We will pimphand you if you violate your own character. IE. if your Shadowmaster nuzzles a kitten we shall smite you. So realize your strengths and weaknesses, and choose a character that is within your ability to write properly.))
[b]Age:[/b] ((Yes, some characters many be young trainees, but let’s not have a guild full of 16-18 year olds. Especially if your character is accomplished, they will be older. It isn’t a bad thing. Age is directly correlated to years spent kicking a** which is the square root of awesome.))
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Nation:[/b]((Include your home nation and whichever nation you consider yourself a citizen of now if that is different from the first.))
[b]Land:[/b] ((Here, put the land your character originally hails from. If you have allied yourself with The Wasteland you may leave this spot blank))
[b]Title:[/b] ((Rank, government position, job title, etc)) [/size]

[size=9]-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/size]

[size=12]╫Equipment Information:╫[/size]

[size=9]

[b]Weapons:[/b] ((I shall pause here to say that you may NOT create some weapon like The Super Awesome Sword of Garglegahbeh which has the ability to permeate any armor and can fly across countries to strike a foe and tours on the Vegas strip. Lets be reasonable and true to your character. If you do have a novice fighter with a powerful weapon, make sure you have a damn good story to explain why and we shall CONSIDER it.))

[b]Armor:[/b] ((Same with the weapons, keep it reasonable))

[b]Clothing:[/b] ((You can include the type of casual dress they have as well as what they wear to fight/under armor/etc))

[b]What else do they have on their person?:[/b] ((Coin purses, pendants, flutes, etc))

[size=12]╫Fighting Style╫[/size]
[size=9] ((short description of how your character handles themselves in battle))
[/size]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[size=12]╫Character Description╫[/size]

[size=9]
[b]Personality:[/b] ((Minimum one short paragraph here. Make sure that what you write here is how you play them. We do not want to read a paragraph about how they are insane with evil and megalomania and then two posts in they are lovey dovey and sickly sweet.))
[b]Height:[/b]
[b]Weight:[/b]
[b]Eye Color:[/b]
[b]Hair Color:[/b]
[b]Talents:[/b] ((This can go beyond fighting to their diplomatic skills, or dance/art/singing, even good with children or great at gardening. Really flesh them out.))
[b]Theme Music:[/b] ((This is optional. This could be anything from a specific modern song that you think fits their personality or battle attitude, or a type of music from this 'time period' that they enjoy.))
[b]Companion:[/b] ((This is a pet, per se. Lets not get really over board (lions, tigers and bears oh my) unless you can justify it REALLY WELL. You can also have a lesser being as a ‘companion’, see the Codex for these catagories
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/size]

[size=12]╫Background Information╫ [/size][size=9]

((Minimum two short paragraphs here. Start with where they were born, how the kingdom rebuilding effected them and any early experiences that shaped them.))
