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:
Sonics
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:
Give us an idea on what type of things your character likes
Dislikes:
And an idea on what they don't like!
Sample Post:
..Yes, the most dreaded thing there ever was in a sign up post! What I do is, simply think where I'd like my character to start off, then do a post for them, and use that as my sample post, when I'm accepted I can just copy and past the sample post where I wanted my character to begin.
This is just so I can see your style of writing, the way you control your character, and if your right for joining this RPG.
Grammar and spelling are highly considered, as well as the depth and talent that goes into your sample post.
Players who already have one character accepted do NOT need to do a sample post for future characters unless they are applying with a cannon character!
The sample post and the history section are the two most single important things we look at when deciding to accept bios.
We reserve the right to decline any bios that we think unfit for this RPG. NE is an advanced board and as such we may find that you possibly have to gather a little more experienced elsewhere before giving us a shot again. Most players here don't do posts under 400 words, many do over 1,000 regularly, using eloquent language etc. That doesn't mean people have to be perfect or that we think we're the greatest, we just want to make sure you enjoy your time here and don't feel intimidated, yet at the same time we want to have fun too, and let's face it, putting hours of work into a post just to get one paragraph in reply isn't really worthwhile, now is it? Put effort into your bio and all will be fine though
