I'm surprised we only have 2 people applying. 4-slot game, 2 applications made, GM is picking sheets so later applicants might be picked over the first four.
the world and character system seem really interesting to me.

I'd apply but I'm terrible at making half decent sheets.

...
Want help?

Just start with the following lines:

Name:
Class:


then add the next couple:

Age:
Gender:
Hair color:
Eye color:
Preferred weapon:
Preferred armor:


then start on the character's background:

How did he/she become their class?
What special events happened in their background?
What makes this person important/special?
What are this person's friends like?


after you've filled those out, go ahead and add anything else you can think of and post what you've got. it'll probably be pretty good, even if you have to leave parts incomplete. we can help you finish it out if you want.


if you really can't think of anything at all, go to TvTropes and get lost looking at descriptions of character tropes that you find interesting. when you come back, you'll probably have come up with something.

[Dwarmin]

Yeah, what he said.

I take lots of inspiration from whatever literature I'm reading/games I'm playing at the time when I design characters. I don't wrack my brain for ideas.

In this case, it's mostly from ASOIAF. And my shield is the emblem of the Brotherhood of Nod.

And remember, you can leave the incomplete parts to be later filled in with RP-I don't have to describe the duel that got my character self exiled, for example. I can leave the specific parts if it ever comes up-or better yet, let the GM use it as a plot tool.

I tend to do that.

You won't get better at it if you don't try.

[Lenglon]

oh, um, Mr. Zero. I PMd you a character creation question the other day and you haven't responded. should I resend it?

Guess so.

How did he/she become their class?
What special events happened in their background?
What makes this person important/special?
What are this person's friends like?

I generally get stuck at this part when making sheets.

I'll start working on a sheet since there's no 4th player around but please note it's going to be terrible.

EDIT: Also if it's taking a unusually long time then that probably means I got bored and left it for later so I can play Borderlands.

I did the name, age, spent one and a half hours trying to wrap my head around how many stat points I have left after allocating x number of points to a stat until I gave up and used a calculator.

Then I got onto Appearance and Biography and my mind went blank.

I'll try finishing it off tonight, I come up with stuff better when tired in my experience.

[Lenglon]

your stats go from 0 to 7, starting at 0
you have 25 points
when you're done, add 3 to every single stat
that is the easy way to do it.

Hrm, well I've already done the stats, according to the calculator I have used 25 points, no more, no less, but I could've gotten it wrong...

Oh well, you can all point and laugh if I get the sheet done and mess up the stats.

[blazing glory]

1 A.M, the time is right.

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Katriane Ellen.
(Gender: Female.)
Age: 26
Stats: (I could very well have messed up the stats since it was very messy.)
Strength: 10
Dexterity: 8
Intelligence: 7
Constitution: 9
Perception: 7
Charisma: 6

Appearance: She keeps her brown hair in a pony tail while her eyes are something between blue and green, she has a scar on the left side of her forehead, likely caused by talons, she tries to conceal it but her left eye has a habit of twitching when she's annoyed, she often has a tired look from not resting enough, despite her various physical flaws, she is appealing to most people, and her voice is clear, she has a muscular build which manages to stay within proper proportions, but only just.
Biography: Katriane was born as a only child to a poor farmer named Darrion Hillis and his wife Geneve Rossana, when she was 4, Rossana passed away, but Darrion, rather then becoming more distant in grief, embraced Katriane as his only family left, he taught her about a few plant types and how to make a fire, but not much else, Katriane only learned of her true destiny when she was 21, when demons attacked her village and she managed to fend off some demons with a wood cutting axe when they broke into her house and she rallied the village to fight long enough for the local lord, who went by the name Garion Calder, to learn of the attack and kill the demons with his forces, Darrion survived but lost his legs, Garion employed Katriane as one of his body guards and it became obvious that she didn't simply have a stroke of extreme luck, when Garion learnt of this he personally taught her the best he could of the ways of war, after 2 years as a body guard and later 1 year as his adviser, she decided she wanted to leave Garion's employ but didn't want him telling people of her special qualities, so she went looking for the more dubious merchants around, with 3 years of well paid employment she bought a potion that modifies one's memory, she put it in his drink and had it so he knew nothing of her special qualities, just that she was a girl from a village he saved who later became one of his bodyguards, she and wandered for the last 2 years, avoiding the more populated areas to keep her secret from being known, she grew distant from her father when she started avoiding him to keep her secret, she still truly cares about him though.
Starting Class: Vindicator.
Starting Perk:  Additional stats
Starter Skills: Novice skill: Basic survival, Competent skills: Tactician, sword wielding.
Personal Items: Brooch containing a small painting of her father and mother.

I warned you lot that it would be terrible, also, is the lore section above faction lore meant to be empty?

[blazing glory]

Oh wait.

You, the new adventurers, come in play 6 years after the opening of the second gate.

Greaat...that means that the age is all messed up, and I'll have to make a bunch of edits.

That's the problem with doing things when tired, you can come up with stuff easier but you tend to forget critical details.

[Lenglon]

blazing, you spent 4 points too many.

18 come free (3 per stat, 6 different stats)
25 to be spent
total is 43

yours total to 47.

I knew I should have moved the additional stats perk above the stats.
