Please take the time to fill in the whole sheet and ensure you’ve read the rules and terms of joining before doing so, for your own benefit if nothing else. Also please attach a full character shot at the top of your biography in the space provided (make sure to check the dimensions so you don't stretch your sheet out), especially if you haven’t reserved a PB ahead of time. When you are a member of the board and your character goes through any kind of event that effectively adds to/takes something away/changes their bio etc please edit your posted profile accordingly to keep it up to date. This applies to all members. Do not edit bios on the board without giving me a heads up first.
Please also bear in mind that the more developed the bio the more inclined other people will be to seek interaction with your character. They have more to build on in terms of relationships and bonds, more of a foundation to use. Also it’s better for yourself and me as a mod if your character’s bio is fleshed-out. Paragraphs are much, much better than single lines and a little bit of imagination and creative determination go a long way.
It also helps to read as many current bios as you have time for so as to avoid accidentally replicating a character already in-play.
When you have filled out the form in full send it my way in the form of an email.
I, as the moderator, reserve the right to deny applications, the reasons for which will be explained to you upon returning your application, if necessary.
Please refrain from registering on the board until after you have submitted an application which has been subsequently approved. Thank you.
NOTE: Comments in parenthesis are for your consideration while you write your bio; please do adhere to them and bear them in mind while you write.
If unsure about any aspect of your bio or the application in general the one easy solution is to just contact me at the email address linked above. If in doubt, ask. If any part of your character’s statistics, personality, or history makes you worry, come to me with it. I’m pretty lenient with most things but I really do prefer to have things run by me, especially if they are in any way major or extreme.
Thanks!

BASIC INFORMATION NAME:APPEARANCE (Please include as much detail as possible e.g. height, weight, build, skintone, eye and hair colour, facial hair [if applicable], tattoos, piercings, scars, jewellery, and any clothing habits or trends they might have)WOLF INFORMATION PERSONALITY (Should be in-depth here; if it doesn’t give any sense of character, your bio will likely be rejected; this should be the second most in-depth portion of your bio)ABILITIES STRENGTHS: (For werewolves, these are listed in the appropriate page where the perks of the race are explained in full; they should be mentioned here, even if only in list form. For vampires, please see the page on Applying for Different Races. Stating the obvious in bios never hurts. For any and every character, list hobbies they are skilled at, and anything they have become proficient at, whether it be related to their occupation or something they enjoy outside of work, legal or otherwise)OTHER INFORMATION WEAPONS: (Don’t go overboard, please; remember the standing of your character, and what would be believable; it should also directly correlate with their Abilities, as to whether or not they can handle any weapons listed here. Don’t be silly and include anything like a machine gun or rocket launcher, please and thanks)HISTORY (This should be the most in-depth, expansive part of your bio; where was your character born, what was early life like, lay out the important incidents in their life, give us a sense of who they really are, at the core, and what has shaped them into who they are today; for immortal characters, the history really should reflect their age and experience; preferably, this should be a good thousand words at the least, and for the older characters, or those who have been through anything major, the history and its length and detail really should reflect that life; take time with it, and don’t worry about giving me a lot to read — the more there is, the better the believability and sense of character)MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION RANDOM TRIVIA: (Every player has random facts for their characters that do not fit anywhere in the bio, please feel free to list those details here!)● |

[b]AGE & D.O.B.:[/b] (If playing an immortal [Werewolf or Vampire], tell us their actual age and even how old they look [i]physically[/i]; what age they could get away with saying they are outside of immortal circles)
[b]NATIONALITY:[/b] (Where does your character come from, originally?)
[b]RELATIONSHIP STATUS:[/b] (Is your character involved with anyone currently, or have they been previously?)
[b]OCCUPATION:[/b] (This is any title they might have, such as Fighter, Alpha Male, Beta Female, Omega etc; if none of these apply, then Pack Member will suffice; werewolves may also be Rogues and therefore have run-of-the-mill occupations; if this is the case, please state as much [e.g. Rogue; Bartender] — alternatively, if you are not playing a werewolf, then simply list their job, if they actually have one at all)[/blockquote][font style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; color: #FFF;"][i][b]APPEARANCE[/b][/i][/font][blockquote style="background-color: rgba(000,000,000,0.7); padding: 15px; color: #505050;"](Please include as much detail as possible e.g. height, weight, build, skintone, eye and hair colour, facial hair [if applicable], tattoos, piercings, scars, jewellery, and any clothing habits or trends they might have)[/blockquote][font style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; color: #FFF;"][i][b]WOLF INFORMATION[/b][/i][/font][blockquote style="background-color: rgba(000,000,000,0.7); padding: 15px; color: #505050;"][center][img style="border:5px solid gray;" src="" border="0" align="center"][/center]
[b]APPEARANCE:[/b] (Please include as much detail here as you would in their human appearance -- a character’s wolf is just as unique and distinct as their human self, and it helps other players to know all the little specifics you can share here. Go as far as you can with this one, working from the picture you have selected, in order to give other players a good guide to work from. No two wolves are identical and they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Include details such as whether they can stand on two legs or just on four, whether they are bulky or slender, whether they are built for combat or speed, and so on and so forth — take liberties while remaining realistic in terms of the picture you are using and just go nuts, basically. Please state bipedal and quadrupedal heights and try to be believable for the form you have chosen; the height of the wolf form is not directly linked to the height of the human form and neither males nor females are typically larger in any sense, it varies as much as the actual build. Almost every werewolf for the game should weigh a significant amount more than their human form and their weight should correlate directly with muscle mass and proportion; use your picture and height as guidelines and relate to animals like grizzly bears and other large predators to get an idea of what's realitic)
[b]PACK:[/b] (Whose pack they have joined/were born into; for Rogue, please state N/A)
[b]POSITION:[/b] (i.e. Alpha, Beta, Fighter Member or Omega; most characters will simply be members and have no specific title; for Rogue, please state N/A)
[b]TERRITORY:[/b] (Even if not playing an Alpha, a pack werewolf holds to the territory of their pack leader; for pack wolves, state the Alpha’s territory; for Rogue, please state ‘N/A’)[/blockquote][font style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; color: #FFF;"][i][b]PERSONALITY[/b][/i][/font][blockquote style="background-color: rgba(000,000,000,0.7); padding: 15px; color: #505050;"](Should be in-depth here; if it doesn’t give any sense of character, your bio will likely be rejected; this should be the second most in-depth portion of your bio)[/blockquote][font style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; color: #FFF;"][i][b]ABILITIES[/b][/i][/font][blockquote style="background-color: rgba(000,000,000,0.7); padding: 15px; color: #505050;"][b]STRENGTHS:[/b] (For werewolves, these are listed in the appropriate page where the perks of the race are explained in full; they should be mentioned here, even if only in list form.

For werewolves, state silver without fault; for wolves too young to control their change, state as much. For vampires, list the holy relics and sunlight. For humans, state their mortality.
