[*]Please do not use explicit, graphic, or inappropriate quotes.
[*]If you wish to put a link to the song or credit the author, please put it in the line below, in the form Character/Author, Work. Ex:
"Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore!'"
–Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
"I'll Be Back"
–The Terminator, [url=http://Terminator]Terminator[/url]
BASICS
NAME: (Elided, Full. Nickname/s, if applicable.) Ex: "O’kzel, born Ockzel. Called “Ock” by his friends."
GENDER: (How your character identifies and wishes to be called. If trans/genderqueer, feel free to include their birth assignment.) Ex: "Male, assigned female at birth" or "Genderqueer, comes off as male at first glance".
PRONOUNS: (1 / 2 / 3. "[1] took it from [2]. It’s [3] thing.") Ex: “They took it from them. It’s their thing” would be they/them/their. He/him/his, she/her/her, and they/them/their are the common three, but we accept neopronouns here: ne/nem/nir, ze/hir/hir, and xe/xem/xer are three sets currently in use.
ORIENTATION: (Romantic-if-applicable, then sexual.) A heteroromantic heterosexual would just be labelled as "Heterosexual", but an aromantic asexual is referred to is labelled as "Aromantic asexual". Ex: "Lesbian", "Biromantic, Heteroflexible", "Confused", "Too Young", etc. We also accept witty commentary.
BIRTHDATE: (Season and Turn) Ex: "Born Late Winter, 2724." or "Winter 2724" are both acceptable forms.
AGE: (Age as of current Year) Ex: "40 as of Spring 2763." or "40 (Spring 2763)" This allows people to, at a glance, see how out-of-date that age is without having to do all the math in their head or assume a years-outdated age is accurate.
LOCATION: Currently, Fort Weyr, High Reaches Weyr, Semaca Weyr, Fort Hold, and the Healer Hall are our only playable locations. If your character has yet to arrive at that destination, please input the location they will be brought to/searched for, for census sorting purposes.
OCCUPATION: Jobs and titles are cumulative– becoming a rider does not preclude you from being a journeyman or master craftsman. Ex: "Weyrleader, wingleader of Aurora Wing [temporarily on leave], Journeyman Healer, Searchrider" is a technically plausible list of occupations and titles.
WING: Put in N/A if the character is a candidate or whercandidate, otherwise feel free to delete if it will not be relevant.
APPEARANCE
EYES: Natural colours only, please. Ex: "Black-brown", "Left eye green, right eye blue" or "Her left eye is blue, but the right eye is a mass of scar tissue". Note: heterochromia (eyes different colors, a patch of brown in a blue eye, etc) must be earned as a character trait prize.
HAIR: Natural colours only, please. Feel free to put in a short description of hair type or style. "Brown, densely-curly, and styled into a puffy cloud" or "Blonde, thin and wispy, tied into a straggly-looking ponytail" are both acceptable, as is simply "Red".
HEIGHT AND BUILD: Please put height in feet and inches, please, Pernese average is 5" taller than Earth averages. World average for males on Pern is 6' and is 5'8" for females. Build is a description of their weight and bodytype. Ex: "6'7". Tall and lanky, he holds most of his height in his limbs and looks weedy and ill for how gangly he is" or "5'8, adorably chubby".
PLAY-BY: (Delete if not applicable!)
EXPY SOURCE: Character name (Media). This only needs to be filled out if this is an expy of a character that is not the same as the play-by; for example, an expy of Dana Scully with the play-by of Gillian Anderson would be in the format "Dana Scully (The X-Files)".
APPEARANCE: (1-2 Paragraphs, max 300 words) Ideally, this will be a couple paragraphs. You can write about your character's stature, their cleanliness, their sense of style or preferred clothing, and any notable features– missing limbs, scarring, etc. Third person, present tense.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY: (2-5 Paragraphs, 200-500 words) Must include at least one obviously negative trait; overworking one's self does not count as a negative trait, nor do political beliefs--no matter how extreme (though the reasons behind those beliefs may count, if given). Third person, present tense.
HISTORY
FAMILY:
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: (Optional)
BIRTHPLACE:
HISTORY: (Minimum 2 Paragraphs)
Word Counts: Characters under 20 - maximum 1000 words, 20-25 - maximum 1250 words, 25-40 - maximum 1500 words, 40+ - maximum 2000 words) Third person, past tense.
