Character Biography Guidelines

General

Name - This is your personal name, it doesn't have to be your real name...but just the name you want us to know you by on the board. This name should pretty much be the same as your account name.

Character Name - Try and think of something original. Other RPers are more likely to remember you better if you have an original name. There are tons of name sites out there if you�re stuck for a name. You can also look on google for fantasy name generators, as the come up with some nice name ideas. I would also suggest babynames.com.

Gender - Male or Female...no in betweens.

Age - Simple. The age of your character. Wolves and dogs must be at least one year of age to join the board, but pups born onto the board dont matter. Also, try to keep ages in general terms. Do not use, for example: 20 moons, etc...use years, or months.

Breed/Specie - There are many different types of wolves/dogs...so choose. You can have a mix breed of a great dane/dalmatian...or a timber wolf/red wolf, or anything else of that srt. Just make sure you don't go too over the top. Hybrids are also acceptable, but please keep the number low.

Specifics

Appearance - Does your character have brown eyes, blue eyes, emerald eyes or hazel colored eyes? What color is your character�s pelt? Does your character have any recognizable scars or unique markings on their body? Do they have an air of arrogance about them or do they look frightened. Are they strong or weak? Do they move with elegance or are their movements stiff? Describe your character in detail! Make sure your appearances are AT LEAST 300 WORDS long, and its QUALITY not quantity. But be descriptive, let us imagine your character without having to see a picture.

Personality - Is your character quiet and generally un-noticed by those around them or are they dominant, aggressive, arrogant? Do they find it hard to trust or are they gullible? Do they show kindness or are they coldhearted? Are they shy or outgoing? Do they like attention or are they really timid? We don't want a character who is perfect, that is boring and unrealistic, they must have some flaws. Also, talk about your character's weakness/weaknesses. Go deep, let us get to know your character. Personalities need to be AT LEAST 300 WORDS long. Once again, QUALITY not quantity...we just don't want you to think a few sentences is good quality.

History - Who were/are your character's parents? Siblings? Where are they now? Where was your character born? How did they wind up where they are? How was their childhood? What made them who they are now? Did they commit some unforgivable crime, or become a savior for someone? Have your wolves every been in a pack? If so, then why did they leave, or if not, why were they never a member of one? Expand! Have fun!!! Histories need to be AT LEAST 200 WORDS long.
