Well hello there! So... I hear you want to create a character and start playing. I'm sure you've already read the rules. Well don't worry. The creation process isn't to long or drawn out. I like to keep it simple.
Create a Character
In this forum, you only have to post a general description and back story for your intended character. It doesn't have to be incredibly detailed. A little mystery goes a long way. It's just easier to break things down. The general template will be:
Name:
Age:
Height:
Weight:
Build:
Skin Tone:
General Description:(This includes clothing, mannerisms, etc. Feel free to supply an image to help paint the picture of your awesomeness)
Create an Ability
Just as it says. You can create your chosen ability. Are you a flame conjurer? Do you speak with animals? Do you become animals? I would advise choosing an ability that would afford you more than combat techniques. Try to think outside the box. For example, if your character could invoke fearsome, unimaginable nightmares and have they besiege any enemy, it would make you a force to be reckoned with, that's for sure. But what if your character was about to get crushed by a rock slide? Nooot so useful then. I'm not saying your ability has to be like that. As a matter of fact, that nightmare ability has many uses. Your character's ability somewhat defines them though. Put some thought into it. Again, this is only my recommendation. Take it with a grain of salt.
Create Techniques
This is where you specify exactly how you character uses their abilities. Everyone has 15 ability slots. Five of the slots are passives. A passive ability is one that is always in play. For example, the nightmare ability. Having caused so many nightmares, your character may become deathly afraid of sleeping themselves. So they have Insomnia. They never sleep. Ever. Please... Just make them blink. Otherwise it just gets weird. The general template should be:
Ability Name:
Description of what happens during the ability.
Effects of the ability.
Number of uses per battle and how many turns must pass before it can be used again.
Character Sheet
This is a bit confusing, I know. If you check you profile, you'll see an option for Character Sheet. That only shows your character level and health bar. Your health bar does not need to be adjusted during battle. That information will be within the post anyway. However, after each battle, it must be adjusted. Health can only be recovered through abilities (Bishop) or by visiting a recovery center.
In the Character Sheet forum, you create a thread, compiling all of the Approved details of your character from the other creation forums. You then get a link and place it in your signature. This can simply be a link, or you can encode an image. The link must be somewhere within your signature. Again, the character sheet can only contain approved materials.
