Character Rules

1. No all-powerful characters or mary-sues. Now, my definition of mary sue is this:

Beautiful
Strong
Smart
Delicate
Clean
Kind
Generous
Brave
Never gets angry
Pretty voice
Fast
Flexible
Enduring
Talented
Perfect

Yes, your character can be pretty, kind and fast. But strong and delicate don't mix. Smart and ditzy don't mix. Yes, your character can be intelligent and still innocent, but give your character flaws! If you have a pretty and kind wolf, give her a problem with anger, or maybe she has to be in the middle of things. NO PERFECTION.

Don't make a character who is everything you would like to be. It may be fun for you to play, but it's not fun for anyone else. Weaknesses are what bring your character to life, and make them likable.

2. No super powers or spells. All abilities will be described in a seperate thread.

3. Your wolf can be any color with any markings.

4. Your wolf may have saber-tooth fangs, horns, fins, spikes, jewelry, etc.

5. Only mortals cannot have wings.

6. Your wolf can be any size. So, if you want to make a huge wolf that is double the average size, go ahead.

7. There is no way for a mortal wolf to become a Blackbird or Sunfire.

8. Some wolves have a spirit guide, an animal that is smaller than the wolf that accompanies them. These are more common amongst Sunfire wolves and mortals than Blackbirds or Nightwinds


The Form

Name:
Age: In years, summers, winters, etc.
Species: Sunfire, Nightwind, Blackbird or Mortal. This is subject to change.
Spirit Guide:
Jewelry:
Abilities:
Oddities: Horns, spikes, etc.

Appearance: Yes, you can provide a picture instead IF it shows all or most of the body. You must however include main fur colors, markings and eye color in a few short sentences.

Personality: At least 10 sentences. You must include weaknesses. If you're having trouble, try and extend from your character's personality ... for example if she's a strong wolf with leadership asperations, perhaps she's overly competitive and unwilling to listen to others. If he's young and enthusiastic, maybe he's a rash risk-taker and a show-off.

History: Not required, but list any living and dead family members. Try to stay away from giving your character a tragic past if at all possible. If you must give your character a tragic past, make sure that it affects them in a realistic manner.
