Name: Raven Pierce Nickname: Raye Code Name: Shadows Affiliation: Gender: Female Age: Seventeen Years Old [17] Birthday: August 3rd Hair: Black Eyes: Hazel Mother: Llania Cross [Made Up / Human / Alive] Father: Vincent Pierce [Made Up / Mutant (Same Powers) / Alive]
Physical Description: Try to evoke a picture including build, hair length, preferred style of clothing, voice and way of moving. Add whatever else you think should be mentioned. What would someone meeting him/her notice.. or not notice?
Powers:
You must tell us her/his powers, and everything that s/he's able to do with them. You cannot just say, s/he is Psychic, and then have your character moving objects, talking into peoples minds, flying, taking over the body movements of others..etc..try and describe everything those powers can do, if you want to have your character start off with only minor control over their powers, fine, but still tell us what their powers will grow into
Also note that there is a list of overused powers at the top of the application section and that we will NOT accept characters with overly strong abilities for new players. Chances are you will be asked to give some more information on particular parts of the powers, possibly alter bits etc. That's normal, don't worry.
History:
I'm asking for detail here, not everyone will be keeping their characters EXACTLY the same as Marvel has them (if you apply for a canon character), you're allowed to alter their history slightly, have them change sides, what ever you want, but everything must be here telling us WHY they have done this. Also, you may have to check back with players of other canons characters in case they have made references you thus need to include.
When applying an original character (always a good choice), make sure to try and be as creative as possible. Make sure you put effort into showing why the character has become the way s/he had turned out to be, but note that a dramatic past doesn't always have to make a great character. If you've got a board full of depressed suicide candidates whose parents put them on the streets at their fifth birthday, it's kind of getting dull...
The history part is one of the most significant elements of your bio, so you want to put effort into it. A Poor history may lead to the application being rejected, yet in most cases, we will try to work things out with you, tell you what we think needs improving.
Personality:
Just tell us about their personality, how they act, their moods, maybe certain traits you think are worth mentioning. Note that most people develop their personality as a logical consequence of their past, so make sure everything is making sense. Somebody who has grown up on a farm e.g. will never be indifferent towards animals. They may become animal lovers because they've been around them all their life or hate them just for the same reason, but either way there'll be an impression that has been made. Make sure things stay logical and be as precise as possible. Try to make your character come alive!
Likes:

Dislikes:
