.What We Expect.
[In real life, what is your name?] This is just so we know what to call you. We like to get on a personal basis with our members, and we'd like something to call you outside of your character name.
[In real life, are you 13 years old or older?] This is an important legal issue. If you are under thirteen, you are not allowed to be on Proboards. Please note that we will suspend anyone who is under 13 and has lied about it to us just to be able to get accepted.
[Name:] Your character's name. Please be aware that your display name must be your character's name. We will not accept you if it is not.
[Age:] Your character's age. Must be correct for their year.
[Birth date:] Day Month Year. Please note that this RP is NOT set in present day time. It is set at the end of Book Six, beginning of Book Seven.
[Year:] Self explanatory.
[Bloodline:] Pure-blood, Half-blood, or any other mixed blood. No muggle-borns will be allowed!
[Wand:] Wood, Length, Core.
[Broom:] Self-explanatory. What is your character's broom, or do they not have one?
[Physical Description:] We expect details for this. Do we want a picture? NO. We want words, descriptive words to give us a picture of him/her. Some good pointers: What is their body type? Are they tall, short? How dark or pale is their skin? Color of hair, eyes? What do they normally wear? Cloth styles? Accessories? Shoes? Make-up or no?
Please don't just explain your avatar. My suggestion would be to describe your character first, THEN find an avatar that MATCHES that description.
[Personality:] In depth personality description. Please do not just list personality traits. We want to know what your character is truly like, not just generalizations. Don't be afraid to get very in depth and explore your character's mind for this section. It will definitely help you later on if you take the time to make a good personality description. It also helps you to get a sense and feel for how they act in the RP.
[Strengths:] Again, please do not just list traits. We would like explanations, and good knowledge of your character's strengths.
[Weaknesses:] Again, please do not just list traits. We would like explanations, and good knowledge of your character's weaknesses.
[Place of Birth:] Self-explanatory. Where were they born?
[Nationality:] Again, self-explanatory. What is their nationality?
[Languages:] What languages your characters speak.
[Parents:] Parents' names, birth dates, death dates if necessary. Explanations of your parents, their background, and how they met, married, etc.
[Siblings:] Siblings' names, birth dates, death dates if necessary.
[History:] Full, in depth history. Start from birth, and continue on up till now. Explain events to the best of your ability, as well as your character's reactions to them, and how they affected him/her.
[Special Talents/Info:] Please be realistic...and this is pretty self-explanatory. What are their talents? Or is there any other information you would like to give out about them?
[Favorite Class/Worst Class:] Self-explanatory.
[Owl, Cat, Toad, Rat, or Tarantula?] Which would you like for your character's pet?
[Anything Else?] Self-explanatory.
[Writing sample:] This is to get an idea of just how your character reacts, and to get you considering their thought processes.
