Character Template

___________________________

This is the template you need to use to build your character.  You may ADD to the template,  but you may not REMOVE things from the template.    Micro-rules regarding the individual fields of the template will be given in the template itself.
Remember to view the Character Rules.


The Template empty example,  view existing character creations for live examples:


PERSONA 
[This is a great spot for a picture accentuating their dominate mood or that captures the feel of the character]

Name: The name of the character,  followed by their deity name.   Note if the name is public or not,  aka; not a secret.
Classification:  God, Devil, or Terran?
Age: How old the character thinks they are,  followed by their actual time in Eden since waking up.  The site current year is X4304, if relevant as most deities come from other worlds,  but as such deities tend to use the date they wake up on as their "birthday".
Sex:  Their literal sex, not some "Identifies as X",  followed by notes- such as "Transgendered, male to female" or "Spud to Stud" and whatevers.
Sexuality:  A relatively important field that can have an impact everything about the character.  What... is the character's sexuality?  Please put some serious thought into it and don't just say Bisexual for the sake of saying Bisexual.   I recommend you just stick to your personal sexuality OOC,  otherwise most people cannot portray the character as effectively.

Personality:  Describe the character's personality.   This field needs at least 300 words.   While it is not very respectable to have micro-personalities of only a handful of words,  such cannot bring a character to potential,  it is not shameful to take some time out to think it through or figure out how to be descriptive and read guides and ask questions.
Likes:  A list of at least 3  things the character could be considered to like with a sentence of why.
Dislikes: A list of at least 3 things the character could be considered to dislike with a sentence of why.
Fears: What worries or fears does your character possess? 
Motivations: What how and why motivates your character? What goals and agendas do they have?  What is their reason for being?   In total,  these four fields should amount to at least 150 words.
Quirks: Small things you might include.


APPEARANCE
[This is a great spot for a picture accentuating their appearance]

Height: How tall is the character's mortal form? 
Weight: How much does the character's mortal form weigh?
Hair: What color is the character's hair? How long is it?  How is it usually styled?
Eyes: What color and shape are the character's eyes?  Glasses?
Physique: Describe the character's bone and muscle/fat- describe their body.  Do they got buns, hun?  Minimum 75 words.
Style: Describe the character's favored clothing and accessory choices,  what colors they tend to wear,  their favorite outfits,  ect.  Minimum 125 words.
Quirks: Small things you might include.


DIVINE ASPECT 
[This is a great spot for a picture accentuating their abilities]

Portfolio:  What aspects of reality does the deity have influence over?  Describe the nature of this deity's divine influence.  This is not for describing what they can do or how powerful they are.  Save that shiz for the abilities creation.  Deities may start out with 1 major "Domain",  and 2 lesser domains.   Example:  A Goddess of Love,  with a sub in Fertility,  and Passion.   These three work together to flavor the deity's abilities but the sub domains also provide stronger,  or extended influence over them.  A Fire god might not be able to utilize magma for example,  but if that Fire god had Earth in a sub domain... you see what I'm getting at?
Divine Appearance:  Every deity has an alternative form in which manifests their true godly appearance.  Mortals cannot look upon this form without suffering crippling or life taking consequences.    Lucky it takes no effort to assume or shrug off this appearance.  Many abilities may revolve around having this active,  meanwhile having it active may come with plenty of drawbacks.   At least 200 words,  be detailed and be logical here- you aren't going to look like some all powerful engine of omnipotence.   If you're just starting out this divine appearance may even look near-human.   Divine Appearances are always influenced by the Portfolio.
Holy Symbol:  What symbol is representative of you?  This symbol is a symbol of power that can be used to call upon you (Either directly or in passing,  for a sort of automatic response you don't need to consciously be a part of) for good or ill,  though less ill the more strength and followers you amass.   This symbol is more than something that the deity just decides on,  but is a sort of cosmic link between the deity and their power that they have little say in (IC).  

Strengths:  What strengths are notable in this deity?  These are about the deity themselves and their influence,  not their powers.
Weaknesses:  What weaknesses are notable in this deity?  These are about the deity themselves and their influence,  not their powers.


HISTORY
History:   Who was the deity before they woke up in Eden?  What have they done since waking up?  Note:  All new deities start off waking up in Eden,  none are native to Eden and may come from all walks of life from any number of alternative worlds;  you might even write yourself into the game/story.
Be sure to describe the trials they went through prior to waking.  All deities go through trials in a very very vivid dream-like sub-reality before waking in Eden...  Or not at all.
RP Sample:  A sample of your roleplaying.  Don't just write a short story, try to make an actual roleplaying post as if you were replying to someone.  It can be taken from a roleplay you've already done.  
Face Claim:  A staple of any roleplay-  Who do you claim as your "Face".  Your face is an existing character you use to give imagery to your OC and is what you use to create signatures,  avatars,  pictures within this template,  and to flavor your posts.
Keywords:  There were keywords in the rules,  they should be pretty obvious if you read them,  place them here in no particular order.
