Use this skeleton when creating your character:
Username:
Character name:
Race:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: If you use a pic, try to accompany it with at least some minor description.
Weapons: List what weapons your character commonly uses, if any. There's no limit to how many weapons you can carry, as long as it's an amount within reason (a human isn't going to be carrying thirteen swords and fifty-two throwing stars). Please keep your weapon selections consistent with the time period of the role play. No grenade launchers, folks!
Special Abilities: This can be anything from superior physical strength to spells and spell-like abilities. Again, there are no limits to what your character can do, as long as it's within reason. Sorry, folks, no invincibility.
Bio: Even if you want your character to have a mysterious past, please include some details about his or her personality.

Character Creation 101
We have few limits on what you can be. I don't care if you want to be a Smurf or a talking, fire-breathing kitten. Be creative!
That being said, there are a few limitations. We can't just let you people get away with everything, now can we? Here are some of the things we simply won't let you get away with:
No invincibility! While we aren't asking you to have your characters getting constantly killed off, you're character has to be able to be hurt. It takes all the fun out of fighting if nothing can hurt your characters in the first place.
No infallibility! Yes, you can duck and weave away from each other's hits, but you have to be able to be hit sometimes. It's one thing to dodge away from the blows of a single duelist, but it's another thing entirely to dodge away from something you can't even see in the first place. When facing insurmountable odds, it's best just to let yourself get hit and avoid angering the other roleplayers.
No gods! While we have few limitations on what race your characters can be, we simply won't allow you to play the part of almighty, all-knowing deities. This includes demi-gods and any of the rulers of hell (yes, demons are permitted, but you can't be Lucifer, so don't even try). Even if you don't claim to be a god, if we find you've gifted yourself with god-like abilities, we're going to make you change your character, so save us all some grief and just don't do it.
No beings from the future! This is a fantasy roleplay, set in a medieval time period, so please adjust your characters accordingly. I don't care if you do have a time machine two thousand years in the future, please leave your ray guns and light sabers at home.
No absolute knowledge! Your character can't know everything there is to know about everyone ever. If, for example, a character has a certain trait he or she is attempting to hide, your character can't automatically know about that trait. It takes the fun out of having mystique in the first place if what you're keeping a secret is already common knowledge.
If we find that other characters are causing trouble, this list might get bigger, so do yourselves a favor and play nice with the other children!
If you are unsure of whether or not your character design is allowed, PM me or AngelicTurtle, don't just post it and hope we don't yell at you.
