First of all, click the New Topic Button.
Name your topic whatever you want, although naming it after your character is the preferred method.
In the actual post, use this fill out this form as completely as you can:
Required
| CODE | [b]Character #:[/b] (First, Second, Third...)
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b] (Keep in mind that male dragonriders are more common!)
[b]Age:[/b] (In Turns, please!)
[b]Status:[/b] (Holder, Dragonrider, Weyrling, Canidate, Holdless, etc. etc...)
[b]Dragon:[/b] (Name and color, but only if applicable (If your character has a dragon). If the dragon has a profile of his or her own, then please add a link here. If you want a gold dragon, please ask for permission first.)
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[b]Biography/History:[/b] |
The following are completely optional, but the more detailed your character's profile, the better your chances of it being approved.
| CODE | [b]Picture:[/b] (Just a drawing of your character or a similar picture. No art theft, now!)
[b]Likes:[/b]
[b]Dislikes:[/b]
[b]Abilities:[/b]
[b]Inabilities:[/b]
[b]Family:[/b]
[b]Belongings:[/b]
[b]Hobbies:[/b]
[b]Friends and Enemies:[/b] (This can be left blank at first and filled out as your character meets others.) |
These following items are half-required on your profile. While we don't necessarily mind if you forget to put them, we would very much like it if you did, especially new candidates.
| CODE |
[b]On a scale of one to ten, how patient is your character, one being the lowest?[/b]
[b]Do you mind if we drive you and your character nuts? Yes or no[/b]
[b]Does your character have a lot of endurance, both physical and mental?[/b]
[b]Would you and your character die of grief if he or she didn't get a dragon in the hatching?[/b] (Please keep in mind that not everyone who attends a hatching gets a dragon.)

PetsWhile your character may have a pet, firelizards are not allowed right off the bat. firelizards must be earned through contests. Your character also cannot have a cat as a pet since cats are feral and untamed on Pern. Rules and Guidelines- Ask permission if you want a Queenrider.
- NO CATS. Ever.
- Length and quality are not entirely related. As long as you can write well, it doesn't matter how short it is. However, try to avoid one-liners.
- NEVER EVER EVER roleplay an unapproved character.
- Update your character's profile every once in a while.
- Canidates are generally young. Please have them in their teens at first.
- Dragons may not be a non-canon color without permission from an admin.
- Humans must stay within natural color ranges as well, or they'd better have a darn good reason for the strange colors. As awesome as anime is, it often doesn't apply to real life...or Pern.
- Keep your characters original: The sick character thing is overdone (Both admins have a character like this. Oops. XD), the tragic past thing is WAY overdone.
- If you can't decide on a gender for your Dragonrider, go with male. Remember that male dragonriders are more common than females.
Now get out and have fun!
