How to Create a Role Playing Character Profile

Create the general information for your character. This is just a few short statements about your character. The outline can go as follows:Name:Age:DOB (date of birth):Race:Height:Weight:

Flesh out your character a bit, and give him a sense of presence. You will be explaining his personality, appearance and the like. Leave a few lines underneath “Weight” and start the next part of your outline.For the appearance, you can either upload a picture you already have on your computer or use one that’s on a site already. If you want an actual picture to show up in your profile when you post in forums, it’s best to use the BB code, which is [img] URL of image [/img].

Add more specific character traits such as:Appearance:Personality:Likes: Dislikes:Hobbies:

Give your character a background to explain why he is the way he is. This can be as short or as long as you like, but the longer the description, the more complex the character is, which makes the character all the more interesting. Insert a couple lines and add to the outline these following points:History:Relatives:Relations to other characters:Status:Weapons:Other information:

Submit a sample of your RP along with your character profile. Make a separate line for this, apart from the outline itself. Title the subject "RP Sample" and write away. This sample is like handing in a resume. The sample shows people what your abilities and skills are like as a role player and just how into detail you can get. It’s best to make your sample show what your character is like. Think of it as writing out your first post. Remember, first impressions are the key.
