The Profile


How this works:

Create a new topic in this folder (Character Workshop) with your character. Use their name as the topic title, preceded by the initials of the roleplay they belong to. It will be subject to critiques in its own topic. When your character has been approved by me, Sunshine and at least one other moderator, I will ask you to post them in the appropriate Characters topic, at which point your critique topic will be deleted.

About the character profile:

Use the character profile provided below. If you are confused, please ask questions.

To achieve the correct formatting, delete the periods before the letter in between the '<' and '>'.

Anything NOT in parenthesis needs to be replaced by your text. The words in parenthesis are just extra details/directions/information meant for you.

A maximum of two pictures per profile. One picture per "Appearance" section.

Replace X's with numbers. Not spelled out, not written as "1st" or "2nd" or anything like that. Those would both be "1" and "2" respectively.

NO SPOILERS.

NO FAMOUS FACES.

Don't make the profile too long. No one will read it, including me, which defeats the purpose of even making it. (Hint: If you have to split it into more than one post, it is too long.)

I am picky about capitalization. If a word is capitalized below, capitalize it in your profile. If you don't, I/we will correct you.

Use the little "»" symbols, but don't italicize them.

NAME (Delete this word. Replace it with the name the character goes by, (ex. ANA or ANABELLE (choose one, don't list both) if you have an Anabelle) typed out in all caps. Make sure it is followed by two blank lines, so <.b>Name<./b> starts on the fourth line down.)


<.b>Name<./b>: First Middle(?) Last
<.b>Gender<./b>: Female/Male
<.b>Age<./b>: X (Be realistic.)
» <.i>Birthday<./i>: Month X (ex. December 3)
<.b>Residency<./b>: City, State (Where they live. This will vary from roleplay to roleplay.)
<.b>Appearance<./b>: <.img src="link"/> (Embed photo—remove this line if not using image. No famous faces.)
<.b>Description<./b>: Use full sentences. Keep grammar and spelling within accepted standards. The exception is paragraphs. Instead of separating thoughts into different paragraphs, squish it all into one. Spell out all numbers. Make sure to include details like height, characteristics of speaking voice, and other similar things not evident from a picture. Even when using a picture, be sure to describe evident traits (ex. hair color, eye color). Be sure to include personality in addition to a physical description.
<.b>Background<./b>: Use full sentences. Keep grammar and spelling within accepted standards. The exception is paragraphs. Instead of separating thoughts into different paragraphs, squish it all into one. Spell out all numbers.
<.b>Relations<./b>:
» <.i>First Middle(?) Last<./i> - Use full sentences. Keep spelling and grammar within accepted standards. Spell out all numbers. (Sort relations oldest [top] to youngest [bottom].)
<.b>Other<./b>: Use full sentences. Keep grammar and spelling within accepted standards. The exception is paragraphs. Instead of separating thoughts into different paragraphs, squish it all into one. Spell out all numbers. Do not leave this section blank; N/A doesn't count.
