As everyone here knows, you have to have a character sheet posted on the forum for viewing. So others can get a reasonable idea of what kind of character they will be interacting with during RP. Each character MUST have a profile, unless they are NPC's.
This is here to give you the basic outline of what is required for a RP profile.
Name:

Height:
Gender:
Home world:
Species:
Alignment:
Occupation:
Physical description:

Physical Powers/skills:

Player age:
Picture: - This is actually optional, but if you have a picture you would like to use for your character, post it at the top or bottom of your thread. We do prefer you to use your own drawings for copyright reasons. If you are going to use another's work, please ask them first if you can.
Name: - Obviously this is your characters name. As I am sure they have one
Age: - The exact number isn't really important. Roughly how old they are would be appreciated. Also if your character looks a different age to what they are. Adding that too is recommended. It gives the other players and idea of what they are looking at.
Height: - Always helpful to know for the other players. It gives them something to compare too when posting. So they know if their character is looking up and your or down
Gender: - This one pretty much explains itself.
Home world: - As Limbo is a world between worlds and a majority of the characters here do not originally come from it. The name of your home world would be good.
Species: - as not all characters here are human. In fact very few are. Put the name of your race here. It can be anything. Something you made up or something that already exists.
Alignment: - Good, evil or neutral? What's your flavor?
Occupation: - Does your character have an occupation? Like a Mage, or soldier? If so put it here.
Physical description - This gives you a chance to go into more details on your characters appearance. Suggested things for this would be skin, eye and hair colouring. As well as details on their build and any markings/scars they may have on them. Any odd deformities or oddities that may, or may not be visible to the naked eye. eg fangs, claws, wings, tails, horn or cat-like slits to their eyes etc.
Physical Powers/skills - This classifies as anything your character can do in the physical sense. Such as sword skills, or fighting style. For example. Say they have wings. Can your character fly?
Physical Weaknesses - We're sure your character has one of these. Everyone does and we suggest you have one. It helps even out your abilities and insures people don't become 'all powerful'. A physical weakness could be a phobia your character has, or a fear. Or if your character is rather fast, they could be physically weak in comparison. Another suggested physical weakness would be any sicknesses they may have, medical conditions or hindering deformities.
Magical Powers - If your character can use magic. This is pretty much a list of powers your character can use and a basic description of what this power can do.
eg:
Ice casting: A usually simple ability that allowed a user to manipulate ice and the temperature of objects. Freezing water or metals to make them brittle. Chris can create this element from thin air and has perfected it to where he can make small crystalline weapons ie - darts, blades etc Though these usually take more effort to make because of the reinforced magic used to keep them from melting quickly or breaking easily.
Wings: Ability to summon and unsummon his wings at will.
Magical Weaknesses - A basic list of weaknesses your character may have in the magical sense. For example. If your character is demons, they would have a weakness to holy weapons or magic. Or if your character was a werewolf, they may have a weakness to silver etc.
Background/History - This can be as detailed or as simple as your would like, but we would prefer to have some sort of background story or history that gives some insight to your character. Obviously we prefer details, but at the same time we don't want a novel. So keep it interesting but not too long.
Personality - much like 'background and history' this can be as simple as you like (with in reason) Yet a quick description of your characters personality would be welcome.
eg:
Sereph often comes across as an abrupt sort of man who has little time or patience for people. One first appearances it is easy to assume he a gruff uncaring sort. Yet to those who earn his trust he is loyal and caring beneath the prickly layers.
Extras - Extras pretty much covers everything else you may want to add. For instance, a list of your characters weapons or significant items they may have on them. Maybe pets they own or familiars. Anything that isn't covered in the other categories, but has some importance to your character can be added here.
Email: - we'd like for you to post one or more email account if you could. Just in case someone wishes to email you for information or get hold of you.
IM account: - This is optional, but if you have an instant messenger you can add it here. If you have more than one in different program's (eg, Aim, Yahoo and Messanger) please specify.
Player age: - We would prefer if you would say how old you are. As there is graphic scenes in this RP. Generally we like our members to be over 18 for this reason.
