Behold! Character sheets! Please fill these in and then PM them to me. Once we have a roughly balanced collection of characters, I'll ask you to post them in this thread. (At which point you can remove any information you want to keep secret - I suggest marking it with a different colour on your private sheet.)
Please don't post anything other than character sheets in this thread (for now at least), it makes my life a little easier if I have less clutter to deal with.
You can get the colour and font formatting for the character sheet by hitting "quote" and then removing the quote tags. Please do that.
Example charatcer will follow, which will be the character I played when we ran this game on my own forum; She'll probably join you on your quest. Apologies for the delay also; there was a bit of a family crisis that took all of my time on Monday and then I was away on Tuesday.
Standard Information
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Origin Universe:
Appearance\Equipment
Write what your character looks like and wears here. This should include weight, height, hair colour and style, eye colour, build, and any other unique markings, tattoos, or scars which your character has on their body and finally all visible equipment that your character is carrying.
Background
Put your character's backstory here, such as what were they doing when the main cannon was happening in their universe and how it affected them (if it did at all). Just remember that your character can't be a complete badass who punched out Cthulu at the end of it all. Your character is a 'potential' hero, so you stand out a little from the crowd, but you've not really done any great deeds yet.
This should end with a vague description of events that end with your charatcer finding themselves... somewhere else. (Exactly where will be revealed when I start the RP, muahahahaha.)
Universe Background
Write a small summary of your universe. This is mainly for my benefit as I know some of you are using characters from universes I'm not familiar with. Wikipedia/Wikia links are acceptable.
I would aim for a fairly high-powered universe. A guy with a gun isn't really going to stand up next to a fire-toting wizard. (There is a certain amount of wiggle-room here obviously.)
Personality
What is your character like? Why? Put down here as much as possible about them. Everything from their hobbies right down to the routine they do in the morning if you're feeling inclined. The more info on their personality the better. You should aim to have more words in your personality than in your background, but I'm not going to enforce that particularly strictly.
You can include stuff like favourite colours and foods if you like.
If your character is a lone-wolf, tell me why. Are they afraid to be close to people, or are they just acting tough. Maybe they failed to protect somebody important.
Or maybe they want to make friends with everybody they meet; why?
Do they have any fears or phobias? Did any particular event cause them?
Character Abilities\Powers
Stats: Distribute 40 points between the following categories. 5 means you are average at that skill. 1 is awful, 10 is pretty awesome. (Nothing should be higher than 10.)
Strength - Physical power. How much you can hurt someone with a punch, or a weapon.
Power - Magical strength. how much damage does your magic/psychic/energy attack do.
Intelligence - How smart are you?
Agility - Movement speed. Affects how fast you run and how well you dodge or counter.
Accuracy - Affects your ability to hit. If you;re a melee character this doesn't need to be that high.
Stamina - How long can you work or fight without needing to rest. The higher this is, the more physical damage you can take
Reserve - Your pool of magic/psychic/etc energy. Mana, if you will. The higher this is, the more magical damage you can take.
These are pretty loose tbh. Mostly they're there so that you're not Good-level awesomeness who are good at everything.
Combat Skills:
Put here what powers your character has, if any, and also how they fight and what they use to fight. Again put as much as possible including powers you want them to gain as the RP goes on. Once I've got all character sheets and know what levels of power I'm dealing with I'll work together with you to adjust them so that every character is balanced right.
This is also the place to go into detail on any weapon or non-weapon items your character has, and any non-combat skills they have.
How does the character fight? Are they fragile speedsters or big slow guys with endless stamina. Do they need one good hit or death by a thousand cuts? Are their abilities based on physical power, magic, or spiritual energy? Something else?
Tell me about their weapon. If it's a magic weapon or piece of technology, how does it work? If it has a name, you should include that.
Any special attacks?
Any combat items? (IE bombs, magic runes.)
Do they have any weaknesses? (The answer to this question is always yes.)
Non-combat skills:
Can they play an instrument?
Cook?
Build a house out of sticks?
Is there anything they really suck at? Does your character know s/he sucks at it? These don't necessarily have to be things that will aid or hinder your survival. They could be as irrelevant as “this character is really good at table-tennis” if you want.
On future abilities:
How do you plan for their abilities to develop? Please do talk to me via chat client or pm. (This section shouldn't appear in the public version of your sheet, by the way.)
