How to Create a Character
If you have not read how to create an avatar, the rules, or the tutorial of how to post, please do so before continuing here.
The create a character for Open Roleplay, simply create a thread in this main board (titled with your character's name) with the following information:
*required field[b]*Name:[/b]
[b]Nickname: [/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Birth date:[/b]
[b]*Identifying gender:[/b]
[b]Hobbies/Interests:[/b]
[b]Background:[/b]
[b]*Personality:[/b]
[b]*(if visual representation is a real person, such as an actor or musician) Play-by:[/b]
[b]*City:[/b]
[b]*Avatar link:[/b]
Other suggested fields include: Family members, physical descriptions, skills, job, education, political stance on magic, ect.
For a quick example of what the thread can look like, click here.
You can add images of your character (max 600pixels wide), other information, take out some information, create a voicemail post for people to PM you to request to RP, add updates of your character's life, ect. Get creative!
Once you have completed this, a staff member will go through it to make sure all fits well, upload your avatar to the Alters plugin, and move your thread to the White Pages sub-board so you can begin posting. You will receive a PM notifying you that your thread has been moved to the White Pages if all fits well. If not, you'll be PMed by a staff member letting you know how to fix your character thread, and the thread will be edited to say "INCOMPLETE."
Roleplay is updated at least every few days. If a week has gone by and your thread is still in this main board without notification from a staff member, feel free to PM the admin account.
*Once you've created your character, make sure it fits in well with the plot and politics of our ORP.*
