Hi. This is Moat, and despite the fact I said the rest of my stories would be my characters only, I changed my mind due to the minimal success of my last story. So I'm holding signups for Book 3. Rules: People already depicted in a book cannot re-apply No arguing about who was chosen I will be allowing an unlimited amount of people apply, but will choose the best candidates for the character myself. Here are positions to apply for:
Main character. Bandit. Mentor Guard
Character sheet should look like: Name: Position: Age: Race: Gender: Background: Personality: Description(what they look like): Items: Miscellaneous:
I'd give you a short character bio and what happens to the character but that would ruin the story. So like I said, I'll just pick the best person for the job.
Name:Alex Dudeguy Age: 20 Race: Human Position: Mentor Personality: Humorous, driven by gifts, joking, often lazy (but not fat) acrobatic, likes to mess with people's minds. Smart. Description: Blonde, average height, green eyes, handsome. Also, barefoot. Items: Crossbow, t-shirt, dagger, Background: Participated in many wars. Is now neutral, and wise.
We aim for conversation in the forums, not personal gratification. If it can't be made into a conversation, don't make a thread about it. This thread is asking for little conversation and mostly lists of chacter sheets.
I would also like to add that if you want to write a story, you should use your own ideas. Sure, Strop did the character sheet thing, but he is writing something based off of the AG community. He is using the character sheets to define the characters he is writing about, and he is writing about the community. So the character sheet was appropriate in Strop's case.
This is why I suggest you DON'T use someone else's character. If you can't create your own character, how do you expect to write the story? You might as well let someone else write the story for you if you let them create your character.
So if you really must have someone else create your main character, make a thread in the art, music, and writing section. But that would be lame in my opinion.
On a side note...
Alex Dudeguy, 20 years old and participated in many wars and is "wise"... even exagerated, fictional characters should have some realistic characteristics. Who want's to read a boring story about someone who is perfect and flawless? (Being mildly lazy is not a true flaw!)
I have a character. Mr. Everyman. He is 33 years old. He is a doctor who cured cancer and with his charm, he prevented WWIII. He is a good looking guy with no problems what so ever. He goes around the world and helping everyone and everyone loves him for it.
See, I bet you want to punch Mr. Everyman in the face too because he is so perfect that he is BORING.
So I hope everyone learned a lesson on using their own ideas and character design. True flaws are important.
