Character sheets are just in depth descriptions of a person's Role Play characters, going into great detail on appearance and personality.

When posting one, remember a few rules:

-Do not post another person's character, it can take some people alot of effort to make their own custom character, and it just isn't right to steal that from them.
-Character Sheets are for users who have put enough effort into a sheet to make it worth reading over; so put some effort in yours/
-There can only be one character sheet per character, make a new thread for another character if you wish.
-Use the format described below, or your Character Sheet will be removed.
-If posting pictures, MAKE SURE YOU OWN THE ART! Don't post some picture of a manga or anime character as looking like your own, either draw your own, or purchase a commission from others.
-You can trade characters with another person should you finish with them, kill them off in your own Role Plays, etc...

Now for a few simple formal guidelines.

The Title:
It must contain the character's name!
Simply: Roman Marvarak
Would made an okay title for my character Roman Marvarak.

The Body:
When writing your character sheet, remember a few things.
-Start off with the name of your character, and follow with what RP he/she is active in (if any).
-Now is the time for a picture, if you feel like one.
-Next should be the character's backstory, this can be simple if you don't feel like writing a long one, but make sure its there.
-Now you can go into body detail.
-Once you're done with how they look, go into their personality a bit.

View below for a BASIC EXAMPLE! Do not copy this exactly as it does not go into enough detail.

Name: Roman Marvarak
*Picture*
Backstory: (Long backstory)
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: He's Bald
Body Type: Tall and thin
Personality: (Elaborate explanation of personality)

I hope this has clarified a bit of how a character sheet works to those of you who didn't know.

Good luck and happy sheeting Happy

If you want to make a very detailed character sheet. Don't
Save that for dA
However if you're like me, you add onto other's character sheets

So if it's ok with Cross, I'll put up a small, moderately detailed character sheet
Or try too

Name:
Nicknames:
Age:
Race:
Gender:
Eye:
Hair:
Skin:
Body Type:
Distinguishing Features:
Personality:

I hope that's short enough and gives you chance to make a moderately detailed character.

Good idea Mr Tomyh Happy

If you get more time, could you possibly write up a more detailed one?

Oh I can do that
I have at least one Character sheet on a word document. Only it is really long.
This I got off an old group I was part of on dA. It's closed down now so I;m sure the original author wouldn't miss it

You don't have to follow the default word for word. Add your own, or subtract some, so long as its still in depth.
