Just copy+paste the code, and add your character's relevant goodies. Make sure to be as detailed as possible. Keep racial characteristics in mind...Canids don't live and are not born in Erchaea, and neither do Stygians live in secret among the elves. Be realistic.
IMPORTANT: IF YOUR CHARACTER IS ARCANE, THEY CAN ONLY USE SPELLS THAT APPEAR IN THE GRIMOIRUM. IF YOU WANT TO USE A CERTAIN SPELL, APPLY WITH IT IN THE GRIMOIRUM FIRST!
IF YOUR CHARACTER IS SECULAR, THEY CANNOT USE MAGIC, PERIOD! THEY CAN ONLY USE SIMPLE MACHINES/WEAPONS OR MACHINES/WEAPONS IN THE TOME OF TECHNOLOGY. IF YOU HAVE A MACHINE OR WEAPON IDEA, POST IT THERE FIRST!
If you did it right, you should see this:
Player Name:
Contact Information:
Character Name:
Race: (Please note that half-breed characters ARE allowed. It is entirely possible to play a human/elf. HOWEVER, there are limits to what you can get away with by doing so. A character cannot wield magic AND learn to use technologies, even if their racial traits would allow it. If a half-breed has a racial trait that excludes magic use, and another that includes it, that character will be allowed to use magic. Same for technology...just not both.
FOR CANIDS: include what Clan and what Breed your char is.
FOR NECRIDS: include what race/clan/breed your char started as.)
Age:
Gender:
Place of Birth:
Arcane or Secular: (Arcane means they can do magic. Secular means they cannot. Secular characters can use machines in the Tome of Technology, while Arcane characters cannot. This is an important decision, so be sure you choose wisely, and do NOT forget to write down on the bio which one your character is! characters can NOT be both.)
Physical Description: (Include hair/eye colors, or coat/pelt color for Canids or Stygian characters. Stygians may also have scales, hides, etc. Be as detailed as possible here, as if you were describing exactly how your character looks to a blind person. Any scars, tattoos, aberrations, skin tone, hair length, clothing style, height, weight, all the goodies.)
Personality: (This needs to be as detailed as possible, as this section, more than any other, determines how a character fits in to the game overall)
Background: (Include any family the character has, how they progressed to the point in their life that they are at, and any major events that influenced their outtake on life. While the Personality section is the most important section for how well your character fits into the game, the Background section is where you explain how your character came to develop the personality they have. How was their family life? What sort of position, if any, did they have in their society? Were there any traumatic events that steered their lives in a different direction then they'd had before? Etc., etc.)
Skills/Talents: (Any schooling or training your character has had goes here. Any task your character is particularly good at go here, as well, such as any additional languages your character speaks, if they are a skilled archer/swordsman/blacksmith/apothecary/whatever. Remember: Humans/Stygian cannot use magic, only Avians can fly, etc. This section should reflect on what your character typically does for a living.)
Weaknesses: (Just what it sounds like. What does your character fear? What makes your character lose their composure, or self control? What sort of activities is your character unable to perform? Include here if your character cannot use magic or technologies from the Schematics board.)
Sample Roleplay: (This section is by far the most important of all. Use proper spelling/punctuation/grammar/diction/etc. This section should showcase your writing talent, and serves as a basis of comparison for how you write on the board, so be as careful and impressive as possible. Use of NPC's is allowed, use of other characters is not. Feel free to invent the names of places or geographical features as necessary to make as high a quality post as you feel you are capable of.)
