[Edit]
[Delete] | Registering a character is a big step and commitment for a player to make to a room. We understand that here which is why we have tried to make the process of registering a character easy, as well as rewarding to you, the player, to create a unique character for roleplaying. In order to help you out in registering your character we have made this simply guide to explain certain points of the registration application in more detail so as to not clutter up the application itself with clarification.
First, let's get the basic stuff out of the way. The following fields are basically standard and pretty self-explanatory:
- Full Name
- Alias
- Age
- Height
- Weight
- Eye color
- Hair color
- Distinguishing Marks
*You will notice that there is no "race" or "species" field in this app. That is because every character in the room will be human. They will simply be human with special powers, which in some universes makes them meta-human, but I'm not going to go into that distinction here because genetics is still a far-off science at this point in history.
Now, let's discuss the slightly more complex fields..
- Godly Gift(s) - this is the equivalent of Powers in a comic chat
- Weakness(es) - this can be anything that is considered bad or detrimental to the character. It could be anything from a character flaw, a mental flaw, an allergy to food, an affinity towards liquor or other such things like that.
- Known Family - this is very important, especially during this time period containing nobility and ruling families. There is no real "birth control" in these times outside of the not-so-reliable "pull out" method, meaning there is much higher potential for lovechildren and bastards.
- Affiliation - this is somewhat tied to the Known Family field. Due to the fact that there are ruling families in this world, some characters affiliation field will be simply the last name of the family they belong to. Some families will work together, or one family will work solely for another one, so in those cases the affiliation field may be the last name of another family.
- Weapon(s) - remember, that although there are some gunpowder weapons in the world they are rare and very loud. Due to their rarity and loudness, it is rare for them to be used within the city as the city guards typically come running to investigate the situation.
- Profession - this can be anything in the world.. at 1479. This can be anything from a merchant, to a dock worker, ship builder, trader, pirate, etc.
- Skill(s) - this is similar to weaknesses, everyone has a skill, even if it's being lazy. Put down your character's skill(s).
- History - though most people will wind up being very basic (i.e. I was born, I grew up, and here I am.) while this is fine and good, we would like to see a bit more in the history of our character if possible. We're not wanting to see a novel or anything of the sort, just something that can make for a more interesting and deeper character
