[b]Roleplaying Sample:[/b]Guild: Are you a member of a guild? If so, which? If not, are you specifically allied with a guild, despite not being a member of it? (This option would be like how Batman works with the Justice League).
Class: This is "D" by default. Everyone starts here, with 50SP.
Appearance: What does your character look like? Everything about their appearance should be listed here, aside from clothing/armor. Keep in mind the site is R-rated unless a specific thread says otherwise, so feel free to include basically any detail short of genitalia. If you really want to include those, please put an X-rated spoiler on it. Two paragraph minimum for this section.
Clothing: Most characters tend to have some kind of default outfit. Whether this is a simple pair of pants and a tunic or a more complex outfit is totally up to you. Your starting outfit can even be armor if you want, but this is primarily supposed to be the part that explains what you always have on. If you wear your armor to a party, then it's appropriate to describe armor here. If you don't waltz around town wearing full-plate, then just put what you normally wear. This section should be at least one paragraph per outfit you want to start with if your going for poor styled clothing. 2 paragraphs per outfit is needed to obtain moderate styled clothing at the start as well. Starting armor is not free, and requires additional writing somewhere. You can use a picture (and write nothing) for this part if you're feeling lazy, but then you have to pay for your outfits. You cannot get rich outfits just by writing about them.
Alignment: These are the classic dungeons and dragons alignments. There are two scales, and you pick one from each. Lawful, neutral, and chaotic is the first scale. Good, neutral, and evil is the second scale. This gives you a total of nine possible combinations ranging from Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil. Good/Evil are pretty straightforward. Neutral generally tends to mean that you are unconcerned with that scale. Lawful means you obey the law, and chaotic means you got out of the way to ignore it when possible. This section should only have two words as a response.
Personality: How does your character tend to act? This section should have at least two paragraphs in it. Try to explain how your character acts in multiple situations. Useful sections can include how your character acts when: around friends, in battle, on a job, around someone they don't like, or in a certain type of location. There are plenty of other useful things you can include here as well, but those are a few ideas to get you started. Also, make sure to check out the personality traits section. You need to be able to justify any traits you take in the personality write-up.
Likes/Dislikes: What are some things or people your character likes or dislike? Each thing should have at least two sentences explaining it. You need at least 5 likes and 5 dislikes. You get a bonus 500 jewels for each additional like or dislike, regardless of how much you write about it.
Fighting Style: How does your character fight? This is a really important section, considering that the site is largely based around combat. You can include anything from how they utilize their magic in combat, to how they tend to throw a punch. Any martial knowledge traits should be fully explained here. There is a minimum of 3 paragraphs for this section because of how important it is for combat.
Magic and Spells: What is your type of magic, and how does it work? Explaining this requires at least one paragraph, even if you're using magic ripped straight out of the canon. For a good example of how to describe a common type of magic, that you think everyone knows how to use, see Raygin Akamaru. Your spells should be posted below this, using the spell template.
Items: List any items you're starting with. This includes any food/drinks as well as armor, weapons, and random things like a shovel. The cost of anything listed here will be deducted from the bonus money you earn from writing above the minimums in other sections. Please provide a weight and size for any random items not listed in the shop.
Home: This is where your character lives. For details on this section, please see this thread. You should describe the layout of your house here, as well what it looks like. Include what rooms it has, and if you are sharing it with anyone else. You MUST include how much storage space you have.
Base Stats: You get 50 SP to assign when you start. Spend them wisely. You'll want to use the Stat Template to fill this part in.
Traits: List the traits you are taking at the start here. If you are going for any custom traits, please include the full text of them in a spoiler. A table specifying trait name, rank, type of trait, and points spent on it is preferred here. If you can't get a table working properly, a bulleted list is fine here.
Trait-Adjusted Stats: This section should show your final stats, as adjusted by any traits. Use the Trait-Adjusted Stat Template here.
History: What was your character doing before this point in the story? 4 paragraph minimum for this section. You can talk about anything from the time you were born until whenever your character will be doing their first thread.
Roleplaying Sample: This section should contain an example post. If it's just ripped from some old work you've done, it's only worth half credit. A new work created just for this purpose will earn you full credit. There is a minimum of 3 paragraphs here.
