Hi, it's me. I've been watching and discussing and we've come up with a proposal.
...here comes a big OP. But if you're interested in putting your character here and you're an AG regular, I advise you to read the entire post carefully.
There have been a growing number of fictions that involve some of the users portrayed as characters, or user characters. For this reason, despite the presence of previous threads of a similar nature, I've decided to make this one, the purposes of which will be:
* To have all pertinent information on any of the characters regularly depicted in AG forums in one place. * To act as a simple guideline for people who wish to use these characters in their fictions.
It's the latter reason that is important because some people might wish that a character is portrayed as accurately as possible, especially the creators themselves. I don't wish to monopolise on this, but this thread will be run very strictly for the sake of tidiness. This is how it will work:
1) Fill out the template. I will detail this later. 2) Make a post here. The post MUST follow the template. 3) One post per character, don't lump them together or people might get confused. Doubleposting is okay on this thread. 4) These posts are an application only. If they are made official I'll notify you that your post is secure. 5) If I find the post doesn't conform to standards I will explain to you why I will delete the post, then I'll delete it. This doesn't mean you're not welcome to participate, it just means something(s) needs fixing or the post was irrelevant.
So to emphasise, the only posts here will be character templates. There will be absolutely no commentary on the characters or any other off-topic posts on this thread- I will automatically delete those comments for the sake of neatness.
One other thing, we're trying to keep this to a minimum so I will also delete characters that have either just been concocted for the purposes of being involved in this thread, or have not been used in larger fictions on AG, e.g. the MWT, Moderation Wars, Chronicles of AG, SoS etc. I understand this is arbitrary and may appear exclusionary. Again this doesn't mean I have outright rejected your character but you will need to become more involved in the community before applying again.
Now, the Template. This is in a fairly standard format:
1) Images of your character, or a link to said images. 2) Information on your character's name and defining attributes. 3) Physical attributes 4) Personality or character 5) Background of character
Remember, this is an official thread. It is up to you as to how much detail and what details you provide but make sure you're pretty set on the level that you would like other people to follow. Once again I expect the character sheets here to have a great deal of thought put into them.
Finally, if you want to include a character that belongs to somebody else in your fiction, you need to ask first. That applies regardless of this thread. Unless you are writing a work of parody, which is exempt from certain copyright laws.

Graham opened his eyes slowly and saw a hazy outline of a large white figure standing over him, then passed out again. When he awoke, he was alone... tied down to a medical table. After struggling with the large belts, he was finally free. So, he raced over to the solitary metal door, with strange markings on it to find it was locked. On the table-tray next to him was a small glowing blade. Curious, Graham tried to pick it up and cut his hand severely from the sharpness of the blade. Using some of the tools lying around, he managed to bandage up his hand, and construct a handle in the most awkward of places on the blade. His thinking went "Door plus sword = freedom. ". He slashed at the door. Something weird had happened. The door had not budged, but the walls around it peeled off slowly. Anxious to get out, he slashed at the walls, closed his eyes, and jumped in the opening. Falling for what seemed like an eternity, Graham finally landed on some wet grass in front of a giant castle-town.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES:
Due to the gravity of his universe being higher than that of ours, King Lemon's skin and bone structure are 10x stronger than that of a regular man, also because of the gravity difference he is able to move at incredible speeds and jump higher than average, please remember he can only do this because of the gravities.

Though he still helps them when he can.
BACKGROUND:
Occupation: Currently unemployed, but has a vast amount of wealth from interest build up, investments (mainly in a fruit company -cough- Apple), as well as living a frugal lifestyle.
Backstory:
Born in an alternate fruit reality, King lemon once ruled with an iron fist. Once he conquered a new land, though, he made sure everyone was happy, repairing destroyed buildings and homes. Citizens under his rule were prosperous and loved their King. Seeing his ever increasing popularity, his top advisor felt he needed to get rid of King Lemon, taking his place. One long story later and King Lemon is projected into our reality, arriving sometime in the mid 1500's. At first he was an outcast, which was new to such a beloved King. Gradually he got used to moving around from town to town, country to country. During his travels he learned many things, his favorite of which were the different fighting techniques used in this Universe. Over the course of many years King Lemon has trained at the Shaolin Monastery, learned Baji Quan, mastered wing chun, and most recently studied Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do. These are only a few fighting techniques he has learned. Though King Lemon has studied many fighting styles, what his ultimate goal is is getting back home to his kingdom. He is always studying theoretical physics, magic/sorcery, quantum physics, astronomy, anything he believes could land him a way back to his own Universe.
