For those of you that would like to take things a step further.
Mainly, I want to try to make the profiles much more in-depth for users who are new to roleplaying, or are only capable of describing their character through words.
You will not be required to fill out every single question, but if you do then kudos.
Also, I will be including several optional fields. If they do not apply to your character, just remove them.
--
Full Name:
Nickname: (( If they have one. I mean a REAL nickname, like Willene being Will and Roxanne being Roxy. ))
Age: (( Be sure it coordinates to their grade level of course. Unless, you're making a character with low intelligence, such as a Bully, that might have been held back a year. ))
Birthday: (( Year not necessary. ))
Sex: (( Male/Female ))
Gender: (( This is aimed mainly at any gay characters we might have. They might have a penis, but do they see themselves as a male? Likewise, on the female side of the coin. ))
Height: (( Note how you can use height to display character attributes. Roxy being so tiny adds to her meek appearance, while Kay being a giant makes her instantly more intimidating. Wikipedia has an awesome list of heights by country. ))
Weight: (( Please be sure that this coordinates with character height. Here's a good place to start, and here's photos for comparison. ))
Race: (( Don't go into family history, just tell us what country they are from. ))
Language: (( In the event that your character speaks multiple ones. This also where you would note any accents. ))
Skin tone: (( See here. ))
Eye Color:
Hair Style: (( Photos are awesome. ))
Hair Color: (( See here. Note any highlights or roots. ))
Facial Features: (( Large eyes, round cheeks, square chin, big ears... ))
Defining Features: (( Beauty marks, freckles, tattoos, scars... I do not want to see "piercing stare" in here unless they really DO have a piercing, unnatural glare that chills you to your soul. ))
Body Shape: (( Skinny is NOT the same as slender. If you're unsure, look the term up on dictionary.com. Also, note why they are that shape. Is she skinny because she's anorexic, or super fit from riding bikes? ))
Outfits: (( Be sure these do not clash with your character's personality. If they are modest, they will try to avoid showing skin. If they are an REL, they will push the rules to see just how short that skirt can get. ))
Personality Info[/u]
Mannerisms: (( From dictionary: A distinctive behavioral trait; an idiosyncrasy. Exaggerated or affected style or habit, as in dress or speech. ))
Traits:
Goals: (( I want be a doctor when I grow up! ))
Fears: (( Rational or irrational. Phobias listed here. ))
Hobbies: (( They spend their free time knitting. Bird watching helps them relax. Etc... ))
Beliefs: (( Religious or otherwise ))
Passions: (( Like Roxy and helping people ))
Rate out of 10:
Social Status
Clique: (( Please see Ash's article on C.I.D. )) (( Also, the Bully Wiki's Clique Guide is pretty comprehensive, so if you're a little unsure, please give it a read through :> ))
Friends: (( If you wish to befriend an OC, you must have the creator's approval. Be mindful of having too many friends from different cliques. Ex: You will never be friends with all of the clique leaders. Do not Gary Smith. ))
Crush: (( It's much more exciting to allow the relationship to flourish during the roleplay. WillxChaplin and KayxLane are our most prominent examples. They meet, they become interested, so on. ))
Enemies: (( You are probably enemies with everyone in your rival clique. It is perfectly fine to say a Jock will never befriend anyone in the Nerd clique. Again, creator permission required before you make your enemy someone's OC. Also again, unless it's a clique rivalry, hatred is fun to develop. ))
Outlook on Life: (( No one can be trusted, everyone needs some understanding, people are born evil, etc... ))
Short Bio.[/u]
Here is a well sized paragraph explaining the basic background of the character.
Jane Doe was born in Chicago, but her Mom overdosed on cocaine, so her pimp Daddy had to flee the state. They settled down in Bullworth, hiding from the cops, and Daddy used drug money to get her in the school.
More detail than that, but that's the general idea. Your character does not need to be from outside the Bullworth area.
Ex: Kay Adams was first admitted into Bullworth when she was 12. She spent her days setting off firecrackers in the Jock's gym lockers. Because of this, they already established a deep hatred. She spent all day reading science books because she was afraid to go outside and be eaten by 'roid monkeys. Her freshman year, she was instantly admitted into the Nerd clique. Extra stuff about parents blah, blah.
(( I made all of that up. ))
P.S: Remember, give reasons why you listed his/her traits, likes, birthplace, etc.
Example: Chaplin is from Hawaii; so he's raised with the idea that family and friends are the most important. Roxy wants to be a doctor one day, so her compassion for helping people stems from that. Kay has an egocentric, heroic head trip from time to time because she plays too much G&G.
Also, it never hurts to do research. I'm not talking days of collecting academic research material, I'm talking about a quick trip through Wikipedia or Google, is all ♥ It helps to keep some aspects in realistic proportion (ie, a sprained ankle isn't life threatening, unless you're REL, of course).
