First off, if you are new, please decide the age of your character. If you are 11 to 17, take the Sorting Hat test inside of Hogwarts. Then create your character description in the appropriate board.
This will give you an idea of how to describe your character.
1. Read through this whole post. Copy its white contents.
2. Return to "Character Descriptions", select the appropriate sub-category and create a new thread. Paste what you copied. Fill out the answers and post. Add more if you like.
3. Change your display name.
4. Read the site FAQ and Rules.
5. If you are making a Cannon character, please make sure that the character isn't already taken. Look in this section to see if there is a CD already posted for your character. There is no Harry on this board.
THIS WILL BE USED TO TALK, BATTLE, ETC, SO BE THOROUGH.
If you are a CANNON CHARACTER, you should keep to the character as written in the books. Please don't make Hermione a veela or an anamagus!
PM TWOM (admin) for permission to take over Voldemort.
First Name: (given name)
Last Name: (family name)
Heritage: (pureblood, half-blood, muggleborn)
Spoken Languages: (please list if your character speaks foreign languages. Keep it within reason)
Place of Birth: (where your character was born---)
Age/Date of Birth: Your character's, not yours!
Sex: Your character's, not yours!
Race: Human, vampire, swamp beast, etc.
What powers would you like your character to have? (Obviously, not everyone is the most powerful wizard. Try to be reasonable. Each power must have a limit. Mods have the right to limit these.)
Looks: (Describe yourself & post your picture or choose an appropriate avatar from the list.)
Eyes: (color, shape, wears glasses?)
Hair: (length, style, color)
Height: (how tall is your character)
General Appearance: (thin or not?, complexion?, freckles?, birthmarks? Number of limbs? etc)
Dressing Style: (what does your character wear when not in uniform?)
General Character Traits: (what kind of person is your character? How does he/she act and behave?)
Likes: (where lay your character's interests?)
Dislikes: (what does your character dislike?)
Habits: (anything your character does all the time, any trademarks, facial ticks, stutters, etc)
Strengths: (This is one of the key fields in every profile. Pay attention here!)
Weaknesses: (same as above for the weaknesses) (EVERY character needs a weakness. It is crucial in battle RP.)
Your character cannot be all-powerful. RPing in battle situations is impossible when everyone has god-like powers. The bulk of wandless magic on this site is ritual magic. The Potterverse doesn't allow for Sabrina/Bewitched style powers because the characters would be so much more powerful than Voldemort. If your character has a special talent, make sure that they also have limitations. You cannot be a vampire that needs no blood, walks in the sun and is stronger than humans without having a flaw.
Parents & Family:
Siblings:
Background Story: (what happened in your character's life so far? Note that when creating older characters you should have some background here.)
If you wish to be a Animagus, Werewolf, Vampire, Leglimens, Occlumens You MUST P M TWOM (admin) for permission. Make sure to include a background story, weaknesses, powers and justification for your powers. This is only to ensure that everyone isn't a 13 year old mind reader-all powerful vampire that uses wandless magic and can turn into anything at will. *shakes head* Any character under 15 will not be given permission to be a leglimens/occlumens or anamagi due to the years of study these require.
Is your character a house elf/witch/wizard/veela or anything else? Please remember that many creatures are considered dangerous and will be treated differently (like werewolves.)
Characters should have no more than 2 special traits. (Veela, werewolf, telepath, etc.** SEE ABOVE) If your character is ridiculously flawless you will be asked to change it. It's no fun to RP with perfect characters.
Does your character have any hobbies?
Pets: (owl, cat, rat, toad, etc)
Wand: (what is your wand made of?)
Interested in playing Quidditch?:
Anything else?
Is your character a student/Professor/other school worker/adult outside of school?
Please change the DISPLAY NAME in your profile to your character's name, to cut down on confusion.
If you would like a job for your character, please see the job board.
There is a list of psychic abilities as well as current creatures. Please see them before including one in your CD.
