Character Creation

Character Creation
There are several things you want to keep in mind when creating a character. On Mianite Worlds, while we do not require you to actively Roleplay, if you are taking an active role in Story, you do need to follow some basics. Read Here about Mary-Sue Characters and Here about Compliant and Non-Compliant Roleplay.

Basic Character Information:
There are several things you should keep track of and try to get a grip on when playing a character- even if that character is you.

Name: What is your character's full, proper name? You may be XxEdgeLordxX, but you need a Real Name as well.

Age: How old is your character? Playing something closer to your Real Life Age is best. Remember, you must follow all Rules and Roleplay Rules. Regardless of how old your RP Age is, if you are under 18 In Real Life, you can NOT partake in ERP.

Eye Color: What color are your eyes? Are they both the same color? Mismatched?

Hair: What color is your hair? What style? Is it well kept? Messy? Long? Short?

Height: How tall is your character? Anything above 7 ft 4 in is not allowed (unless you are playing a Special Character- IE and Enderman, which requires Staff Permission.)

Accents: Does your character speak in an accent? What accent is it? How thick? Is it always noticeable or do they slip into it under stress or when drunk?

Defining Personality Traits: What is your character's Defining Personality Trait? Are they stubborn? Determined? Lazy? Greedy? Feisty? How does this effect how they react to certain situations, like being Kidnapped, or Robbed, or when they come up against an obstacle they can not overcome?

Weaknesses: What are your character's Weaknesses? Are they afraid of something? Do they not understand magic or technology? Are they quick to trust, which leads to them being betrayed often? Are they foolhardy and dive head first into problems before thinking things through?

Strengths: What are your characters Strengths? What are they good at? Are they smart? Quick? Physically Strong? Are they good at combat, or magic, or science? Try not to make your character too Overpowered. Their Strengths and Weaknesses should compliment and balance eachother out.

Having these basics set up can be a huge advantage when you're attempting to Roleplay.
