Priests Profiles
In this page you must obligatory introduce yourself to all of us and you must write about yourself using following template:
Name:
Your display name should be the same as your character's name. If it is not, you may either change your character's name or your display name.
Gender:
State your character's gender, male or female. Don't be afraid of playing a gender opposite of your own, it may turn out better and more fun than you expect.
Character Portrait [avatar]: (optional)
Character Portrait is your avatar. You can't add your avatar, while you haven't collected 160 Karma points. Meanwhile, in the place of avatar, you'll have the icon of your rank. When you'll have 160 Karma points, you'll be able to add your avatar, but your rank icon still will be visible, but it will be on top of your avatar.
Overview: (optional)
If you want you can summarize your character concept in a few short sentences in an overview paragraph here. This way people can see the most important characteristics of your character at a glance.
Appearance:
This section is where you describe your character's appearance. It contains a number of sub-sections:
Height:
State your character's actual height, rounded off to the nearest nails breadth.
Weight: (optional)
This is optional, but a description of your character's build should at least be present somewhere in the Physical Appearance sub-section.
Hair Color:
State your character's hair color.
Eye Color:
State your character's eye color.
Physical Appearance:
What are the physical attributes that your character possesses? Do you have a slender, curved female body or the muscled build of a human warrior? These attributes are to some extent defined by your race, tribe, and gender, and may also limit what you can do. Also what are some of the characteristics that might set your character apart? Perhaps a scar of some sort, a tattoo, a hunch, or a missing limb? There are many possibilities, and can give your character its own uniqueness. You may also re-state things mentioned in the previous sub-sections, such as height, hair color, and eye color, here.
Clothing:
How is your character dressed? You don't need stick too close to what your tribe wears, though this is always nice, but keep it sensible. Jewelry and other accessories should also be mentioned in here. This sub-section may be combined with the Physical Appearance sub-section if you wish.
Personality:
What is your character like? Don't simply go by "good" or "evil". Rather, describe the way your character views the world. Are you happy and outgoing, or grim and silent? Maybe dark and sinister? It is up to you, just remember that this should be kept somewhat consistent throughout your role playing. A silent person would not just start talking unless there was a very good reason, and a character that lives for money would have to have a good reason to do something without reward.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
Strengths and Weaknesses are used to gouge a character's balance of power. Every character must have balanced strengths and weaknesses. In other words, the more potent a character's strengths, the more potent the character's weaknesses must be, so that the character will not be too powerful. There is no limit to how deep or complex your character's strengths and weaknesses can be, but you are encouraged to have at least a few of each. Your character's strengths and weaknesses should be listed separately, in their own sub-sections:
Strengths:
These are things that are of advantage to you character. Anything your character is better at than the average person is considered a strength and should be included in this section. These include the possession of any skills, knowledge, or advantageous physical characteristic which the average person does not have. Each strength should be listed separately, with a short explanation of how it is of advantage to your character.
Weaknesses:
These are things that represent disadvantages to your character, and should not be easily changed, though as the character develops these can be more easily overcome. Weaknesses should counter your strengths, and can even be present in areas your character excels at. Some areas to consider for weaknesses are lacking skills, knowledge or a physical attributes, particularly in areas that most influence your character. The lack of skills and knowledge that the average person does not have, such as weapon skills, is not considered a weakness. Each weakness should be listed separately, with a short explanation of how it disadvantages your character.
History:
This is one of the most important sections. It should explain why your character is the person that he or she is today. Mundane things such as where you were born and where you moved are important, but not nearly as much as other things. Did your parents die? Have you been in many battles? Did you have a sheltered childhood? These are some of the things you could include in your history. You should also mention how you obtained the skills that you have.
Keep in mind that all relevant information, whether it is known to your character or not, should be included. Amnesia and the like is no excuse for leaving out any such information.
