[/u] First and last. Try to keep the names within the scope of a fantasy RPG (i.e. No Bills or Nancys, please).^~*\
Name:
Age:[/u] This can be a real problem. Because of the show, people jump to make characters ten or eleven years old. Nuh uh. Children do no go off on wild adventures at that age, and I am sure that's what you want your charrie to do here, right? Young adults or adults are preferred here. Maybe a teenager aged seventeen or eighteen. If you want anyone younger than sixteen you must PM the admin for permission. But she's nice, don't worry.
Gender:[/u] Simple. Hopefully. o.O
Nation:[/u] Fire Nation, Water Tribe, Air Village, Earth Kingdom. Or a rogue with no affiliations, but this person must also have ties to a Nation somewhere else in the bio and in his/her past. Again, PM Re'a for permission.
Class:[/u] Peasant or noble, worker or retired? Put here any rank or class that you think suits your character. If they have or had a job, mention it here too.
Bender?:[/u] This is also a painful rule, both because I want everyone to have Benders because they seem more fun and because people ignore this all the time. You are allowed to have one Bender per rank that you gain. See rules for more info. This is strictly enforced and you risk disabling if you do not follow this. Just say yes or no for this.
Physique/Appearance:[/u] Seems easy. I want about seven sentences for this. Hair, body type, eyes, scars, tattoos (nothing offensive or outrageous) and anything else you can think of. Be unique. Make this character your own. You may include a picture or gaia doll as well as a written description.
Clothing:[/u] Again, seven sentences. Layer the clothing for cold climates, loosen it for warm ones. Please keep the colors within the range of the Four Nations (Red/Orange Fire, Blue/Grey Water, White/Silver Air, Green/Brown Earth). Use your own disrection when mentioning fabrics or decorations, because it is more a pain in your ass if a staffy asks you to change this than it is for us.
Weapons:[/u] Don't be too outlandish with this. Your character is not a walking arsenal of knives and explosive powder. One or maybe two weapons per charrie, and you must also mention learning to control them in the history.
Animals:[/u] If you want your character to have an animal sidekick, it's important to remember their heritage (an Earth Bender would not have a flying bison) and probability (can you imagine anyone controlling the Unagi?). Small, by-the-heels pets are preferred, and NONE of them can speak in words. One per person no matter what. Don't be afraid of creating a new breed of animal, too, as long as it's not crazy. I also want to make sure that you know that the pet is not a charrie; it cannot be RPed with thoughts and actions like its human counterpart. Uber special permission is needed for that.
Personality:[/u] As this is an important part of your character, I want a good two paragraphs or about eleven sentences for this. State the highs and lows of your charrie's moods, though don't go and contradict yourself like a n00b. Mention aspirations, personal things, and quirks. This part is always fun.
History:[/u] This can be two paragraphs too, please. State where your character was born, where he/she grew up, in what way, education, training (Bending or other), and other experiences that mean a lot to them. Don't go too far out the norm. Six-year-olds do not raise themselves. NO DISGUSTING OR DISTURBING BACKGROUNDS. We don't need serial killers on this site, thank you.
Sample RP:[/u] This is actually much more easy than you think it will be. RP as much and as many words as you need to to get your point across that this character is yours and very special indeed. At least a paragraph, though. (You didn't think I'd go that easy on you, did you? *wink*) This must be of the character you are making too, not of a completely random RPG.
