Character Template(s)

[BladeRunner]

Below is a Template for base characters. Unless approved by Staff, all characters must start at a "weaker" state if they are taking the roles of superpower-beings; or Mutants. Normal characters, droids, heroes, villains, and much more can be created via the template form below, and is recommended you stick with something reasonable and nothing ludicrous. 

[BladeRunner]

Basic Info

Name: First and Last, simple enough. This includes nicknames

Alias: If you are a hero, villain, go by a code name of whatever. If not, put "N/A"

Age: Regular humans have said to live a shorter life span, however some are reported to live beyond 100 years. Whatever the case, unless a human is enhanced/mutated as such all people's are to stay at a reasonable age. And no, you can't look 25 and be 80, not unless you have some special permission from Staff. 

Appearance: Another simple thing, please explain what your character looks like. At least give a good 1+ paragraph (s). You can use a picture for reference of you so desire, or do both! Are there any identifying features, notable scars or tattoos, you know the drill!

-------------------

Simple Info

Alignment: Are they good or evil? Below is the Alignments you'll use: 

Lawful Good (LG), Neutral Good (NG), Chaotic Good (CG)

Lawful Neutral (LN), True Neutral (TN), Chaotic Neutral (CN)

Lawful Evil (LE), True Evil (TE), Chaotic Evil (CE)

Faction: This is whatever group/faction you belong to. Please use the following (If not part of any, simply put N/A):

Unity H, The People's Militia, The League, The Underground

If you wish for a custom group, please consult with Staff about it, and we'll see if we can work something out. This can range from broken-off factions to even gangs and raider groups.

Occupation: "Regular Job, then "Secret Occupation" 

If you're the simple man/woman, what is your regular job? This can range from scavenging, hunting, tailoring, technical support, lawyer, and whatever else. But if you're someone no one else knows about, what's your secret side job, like say you're a tailor but at night you're a hero cleaning the streets. Or perhaps the Chief of Staff for the Militia and also part of the Underground. 

Whatever the case, you must be able to have an occupation. Remember though, you cannot have two jobs of the Factions that are a conflict of interest. Unless it's more in-depth and plays out well in-character, please don't do it. If you have ideas and questions, it's best to ask a Staff member about it. You can be a banker and part of the League, however you must give a logical reason as to how your character would be part of the People's Militia and the  League.

Character Info

View Points: What does your character believe in? What are they fighting for, what is it they believe the world should be? Do they help others, are they selfish? This requires at least a paragraph or more. The more you add, the more flavor it has. 

Strengths: Every character must have 3+ strengths, and just as many weaknesses. These strengths can range from charisma to fast reflexes and such. Each strength must have a good sentence each. Strengths are to exclude powers! 

Flaws: Just as important, must be able to match the amount of Strengths as well, and must compliment each other. These flaws can range from some bone disease to hideousness from mutation. Each flaw must have a good sentence explaining it. Weaknesses are to exclude powers! And no, "Runs very slow," Isn't a weakness. 

Abilities/Skills: This includes powers, being extremely proficient with a weapon or even technology. Every skill and power/ability must have its strengths and weaknesses.

For example: a huntsman is good with bows and arrows, however is completely lost when it comes to computers and most technologies not used for hunting. A hero has the power to control fire and are super durable, however they are abnormally weak to water and sugar. A technophile is super intelligent, but they don't even know how to fight are are generally weak, only ever relying on technology and machines to fight for her. 

The power can be strong, but it must have a drawback, maybe even a recharge rate, it's strength and weaknesses. 

Power(s): What's the power called? Can be Cryokinesis, or whatever suits your fancy. Remember: Not everyone has to have a power, or even be a hero or villain at that. 

Description: Give an in-depth description of what you can do with it. This requires a good 1+ Paragraphs. More spice= More flavor. Super strength doesn't need much for explanation, however if it's a very unique power or skill it must be described to some extent.

Strength/Weakness: Nothing overpowered, however we need an ideal of what the strengths and weaknesses are. Someone who controls ice can be weak to someone who controls fire. A woman can shape shift for a limited time, however if someone touches her she immediately turns into that person. Each strength compliments each weakness, and vice versa. Perhaps you can even use your disadvantage to your advantage? However many strengths there are must be the same amount of weaknesses, however if you do not have as many weaknesses, make sure they are good enough to where it balances out the strengths. 

 

Equipment: What kind of items does your character use? Examples can range from mousetraps to tasers. What are they used for? Are they really useful? 

Weapon(s): When thinking about weapons, we are using 21st arms and melee weapons. Blades such as broadswords and katanas are expensive and hard to find, the arts to creating them nearly lost and miniscule in weaponsmiths. However there exists homemade weapons like pipe rifles/pistols, restored weapons of the Old World, and so forth. Anything advanced would need a good explanation as to why and how the character has it/them (must also go through mod approval). Advanced weapons are normally used by Vanguard and Fortress Security, while heroes and villains could potentially have some unique gizmo as well. 

Apparel: This is more for clothing, armor, and whatever else your character wears. We don't need a wardrobe worths of ware, however any unique armor/suits are put her. Please do give a good paragraph explaining it. Pictures are acceptable, however you still need a good explanation with what it's purpose is and so forth. 

----------------------

 

Meat of the Character

Personality: Every character has a personality. And it's not as simple as, "Strong, Brave, and cares for others." A personality is required to have a good paragraph and half or more (That is 7-8+ Sentences). We want a little flavor, we want homemade street tacos, not Billy Bob's soggy shells. 

Whatever the case, you must be wary of history as well, as both History and Personality play off each other. Make it reasonable, as both tend to compliment each other. 

 

History: Just as important. Everyone, a hero, villain, a regular civilian, abd so forth has a back story. We only require you do a 2+ paragraph history, the struggles, maybe even the good times, and even if there isn't much to say about the character what really happened that defined them? Are they a crook, maybe even part of the People's Militia; perhaps in secret a hero or villain, or even just the Average Joe/Jill trying to make a living?

Whatever the case, a you must be wary of personality as well, as both History and Personality play off each other. Make it reasonable, as both tend to compliment each other.
