Well, I mean that would be awesome (!!!), but only if you really want to. I don't want to make you do anything.

Warning: the bad form is pretty exaggerated.
So, Here's a typical Roleplay form...


Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race:
Appearance:
Personality:
Backstory (Optional):
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Other:


You want to avoid doing this:

Name:
Riley
Age:
16
Gender:
Female
Race:
Electric elemental
Appearance:

Personality:
Super friendly but shy and easlily angered

Backstory (Optional):
She was abandoned as a kid and was a criminal until she were struck by lighting, giving her crazy powers!

Strengths:
X-ray vision, super hearing, mind reading, controls electricity, super smart and strong, immortality

Weaknesses:
A very rare stone found on top of mt. everest

Other: She has a pet dragon that eats people


You want to do this:

Name:
Riley "X-Ray" Thunderclap
Age:
13
Gender:
Female
Race:
Electric Elemental
Appearance:
(Not my artwork)

Personality:
She's perky and up-beat, always looking on the bright side. She loves being around other people and is easily excited. She's a bit impulsive and often runs into things without thinking, however.

Backstory (Optional):
Riley spent most of her earlier years alone, since her father dissappeared in an accident when she was three. She was promtply taken in by a rock-loving mechanic, from whom she learned how to master the electricity element and play the guitar. She spends most of her days in a music club, playing tunes and hanging out with friends.

Strengths:
-Knack for mechanics
-Manipulation of electricity
-Gets along well with others
-Courageous

Weaknesses:
-Hasty
-Electric manipulation for extended periods of time can harm her
-Too trusting at times

Other:
She cares for a white alley cat called Bolt. She often speaks fondly of him.


Tips for each catagory:

Name:
While not required, full names are typically prefered.

Age:
You can put any number here, as long as it's within the host's guidelines.

Gender:
Male or Female. Simple as that.

Race:
This really depends on the Roleplay context. Read the summeray provided by the host and choose a race or species accordingly. (I.e. Don't choose a cyborg if the RP is about dragons.)

Appearance:
You can put any old charather art here, but if you take an image off the internet, at least say that it isn't your artwork.
If you prefer to type up a destription, details are everything. Describe height, eye, skin, and hair color, preferred attire, wether they're skinny or rotund, any details you can put a name to.

Personality:
Be descriptive, use clever adjectives, and don't contradict yourself. Aside from that, let your imagination run wild!

Backstory:
While this is often optional or can established in the actual roleplay, hosts love it if you provide backstory! It can have some tragedy, but keep it realistic and don't over do it.

Strengths:
Powers and skills are the first things that come to mind, but charather traits (Like courage) can also be strenghts! Remember not to add too many or make your charather overpowered.

Weaknesses:
Weaknesses are just as important as strenghts! They create balance in a charather. Again, charather traits (Like foolishness) can also be weaknesses. Make sure that external weaknesses (fears, situations, etc.) aren't impossible to come by or figure out. Certian strengths can also have corresponding weaknesses (i.e. A charther with incredible hearing would be stunned by very loud noises.)

Other:
Here you can add a few other random details about your charather. These details are like sprinkles on an ice cream; small, not nessecary, but nice to have. Keep them small and reasonable.

*Pats back*
I've had players type in things just as rediculous before for weaknesses.

I mean, where is that pet dragon and how can I get one?
*throws rock*
Riley: Well guess what, that rock only makes me unable to move my nose!

How does this look?

Yeah. It's pretty over exaggerated XD.

Kinda. Again, I've come across people who make forms like that.


Looks good to me!

Oh. My. That is a beautiful sign-up form. Do you want anything?
*lobs 65 diamonds at your head* TAKE IT

Oh, uh hehe I'm guilty of not saying that it isn't my art.
I may or may not have ridiculously long and descriptive personalities... and have 10 weaknesses but 2 strengths... and stupid backstories xD
