Making a character comes easily to some, and harder for others. This is here to help new users create characters. Below will be what we ask of you first, and then what it is/how to make it.
Picture:
Optional. The picture of your character. It can be a random person, whether they be cartoon or real. It is easy to find, just google a description of a person you want as your character.
Play-By:
Optional. A play-by is an actor, actress, musician, etc that you use to represent your character. If you have a play-by, no one else can use them. If you have a play-by the picture you use for your character must be your play-by. If you can't find someone you like, don't sweat it. You don't need one, and you can add one at any time. For a list of play-by's go HERE.
*Name:
The name of your character. It can be a name from any language, any place. It can be a made-up name as well. If you are having troubles coming up with a name, try a baby naming site. Those are very helpful, and you can decide from a very large number of names.
*Age:
The age of your character. Another easy one, you can be specific (ex 26) or you can be general (ex Late Twenties) If you have trouble picking out an age, look at your characters picture, and guess how old they look.
*Gender:
Another easy one, the gender of your character. Having trouble with this one? Well, what gender are they in their name, or picture? And if you still can't decide, pick out of a hat.
*Race:
The race of your character can be anything you want out of the playable species. If you can't decide, just pick a random one. When all else fails, just be a human. For a list of races go HERE.
Location:
Optional. Where the character lived before Avaleur. If they have never left Avaleur, put 'Avaleur'. If they have always traveled, put 'N/A' or the first place they lived. If you can't decide, go to the 'Places in the Avaleur World' thread in this board, and read through the descriptions. Your character a demon? Maybe they lived in Cresthunt, a kingdom of demons. Or maybe they were a warrior, and lived in Tetra. For a list of locations go HERE.
Guild:
Optional. If your character is accepted into a guild by the guild leader(s), then place the group name down here. If not, either put N/A or nothing at all here. For a list of guilds go HERE.
*Class(es):
For classes, you can have one to three of them. That is the limit, and that is what you specialize in. It is ranked from highest to lowest. Example- Healer, Warrior, Archer. You are a powerful healer, good warrior, and a trained archer. These are your abilities. If you are good at stealing, that's another class. You can't do that. For a list of classes, go to the lists section. For a list of classes go HERE.
*Appearance:
If you do not have a picture, this one might be a little more difficult. If you know your characters race, search that race on google images, and look through them all. Or look at people you know in real life, and make them into a character.
*About:
The personality of a character defines them. They can be cruel and bitter, or helpful and sweet. Choosing this defines how you will RP them. If you have troubles, go to a personality generator, or look at people you know in real life.
*Weakness/Fear:
Every character has to have at least one of each. For example, a character who is a knight is weak to heavy blows and has a fear of open water. If you need any help, look at the fears in the people around you or yourself, or look up different fears online. For weaknesses, it's as simple as looking at what you have and looking at what they are not good at, making that their weakness.
Weapons:
Optional. What weapons your character owns. If you want your character to have a weapon, but don't know what to choose, look it up on google. They could own a short sword, longsword, spear, axe, bow, etc. Maximum of 3 weapons when first RPing.
Magic:
Optional. Spells can range from healing, to destruction. Do not make your character all-powerful. If you can't think of anything to put down here, look at other character sheets. Or, just don't put anything down here. Maximum of 4 specific spells, and two general classes of spells when first beginning to RP.
History:
Optional. What was your character doing before they came to Avaleur. Did they learn how to ride a horse when they were five? Did their village get attacked when they were 17? Put here what your character's past was.
Pets:
Optional. Does your character have a pet bunny? Or a horse? If you can't think of what animal your character could have, either don't put anything, look through other character sheets, or google real and fantasy animals. You may not have a powerful pet without permission, which is a privilege I will give to those who prove themselves dedicated members.
Picture:
Optional. The picture of your character. It can be a random person, whether they be cartoon or real. It is easy to find, just google a description of a person you want as your character.
