Revised template; thoughts?

[miri]

**This is another template I made... tell me what you think!

To create a character, simply copy and paste this form onto a new thread on this board ("Everyone plays the game").

The subject of your post should be your character's first and last name.

Appearance: At least three descriptive paragraphs (at least three sentences each) on the complete appearance of your character. Does not include clothes or possessions.

Attire: At least two paragraphs on what your character wears, hates to wear, has to wear, etc.

Possessions: Any prized possessions? Anything with memories attached or some kind of ability?

Rank: Lord, lady, servant, etc.
Master/Servants: Your master's or servant's name here
The Dynamic: What's your character's general attitude towards their master/servant? Can be brief.

. - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - .

Personality: At least three descriptive paragraphs (and, here, a paragraph must have more than four sentences) describing everything about your character. Need help elaborating? PM Blackletter or Miri.

Strengths: However many you want, but you must have two fewer strengths than weaknesses, and they must be paired up equally -- two of your weaknesses must equal one strength (i.e. you can't be nearly all-powerful and have your weaknesses be 'they think clowns are scary' and 'they are allergic to chocolate'). Admins have the right to ask you to remove strengths. These cannot be species powers; everything written here must be able to apply to non-magical humans (so sword-fighting ability, social grace, etc.)

Weaknesses: However many you want, but you must have at least two more weaknesses than strengths, though you may have more. Admins have the right to ask you to add weaknesses, or even to remove them. These cannot be species weaknesses; everything written here must be able to apply to non-magical humans (so a limp, disorders, learning issues, etc.)

Likes and Dislikes:

• at least
  
• five
  
• likes
  
• and
  
• dislikes

Fears and Goals: What scares them? What inspires them? Must have at least one of each.

. - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - . - - .

History: Here, at least four strong paragraphs (each more than four sentences) are required. A character's past affects them greatly, and we need to know what that past was, exactly.

Species Description: In at least two good paragraphs (each more than three sentences), tell us what species you are, what your powers are, what they can and cannot do, etc. This is the place to include species strengths and weaknesses.

Your Name: Not your username or character's name, but the name you go by
About You: Anything you want to tell us about yourself? RP experience, age, where you live, what you like to do...? This is only required for your first bio, and you may delete this 'About You' question out of the rest.

Hm... Interesting. But I'm not sure I like the visuals. The additional categories and stuff are awesome, though. Lemme brew up another fresh skeleton with these categories in it, and lemme know what you think...? Thanks for the help, though. I might not have thought of most of these things XD
