[blockquote]"Famous quote about the character."
- Author (opt.)[/blockquote]
[b]Name:[/b] Name of character. "Nickname." (opt.)
[b]Age:[/b] Age of character.
[b]Gender:[/b] Male or Female
[b]Style:[/b] Canon or Original
[b]Faction:[/b] Species and, if human, affiliation
[b]Rank:[/b] All created characters start at tier 1 or 2. Certain canon characters start with a rank assigned to them.
[b]Personality:[/b]
How does the character respond in situations? Put yourself in their perspective. Would your character talk back if he/she were insulted? Would they boast about their victories? Is he/she a completely self-serving backstabber? Or perhaps a chivalrous hero of the people? Develop your character with a sense of depth. Try not to merge your personality into your character - they will quickly become boring and bland. Remember what this site is about - good characters, good storytelling.
[b]Appearance:[/b]
Image - Opt.
A written description about a character is a must. If you can not picture your character in your head with every detail laid out, then you probably shouldn't be role playing him/her. A descriptive written physical analysis about your character will also make him/her more concrete, tangible in a sense. Other players will be able to picture your character with more clarity with more detail that you put in here. Detail will make your character come alive from your words.
[b]Apparel/Armour:[/b]
Armour, if any, should be placed here. In terms of dueling, it is imperative that a duel moderator can check back here and see what types of armour your character can usually be expected to be wearing. Now, of course, you can change what you're wearing very easily prior to the duel by just mentioning so. But in terms of general rping, in battle and out of it - what is your character wearing?
[b]Weapon(s)[/b]
Each character starts with the following weapons:
COG: Lancer Assault rifle with chainsaw bayonet, Snub pistol
Stranded: Lancer Assault rifle with knife bayonet, Boltok Revolver
UIR: Lancer Assault rifle with chainsaw bayonet, Snub pistol
Locust: Hammerburst Assault rifle, snub pistol
Unaffiliated characters start with only a Snub Pistol
[b]History:[/b]
A brief (at least 3 paragraphs) detailed account of your character's life up until the starting point of the game.
[b]Statistics:[/b]
You have 45 points to distribute, with no stat being higher than 10, nor lower than 1. These statistics are used mainly for RP consideration, though they may slightly modify results in certain situations. For example, suppose my strength stat is 1 and my opponent's is 10. Who do you think is going to win the chainsaw duel, folks? For all stats, think of 5-6 as average and 10 as the highest.
