This is the basic character profile outline for all characters in CONTAGION.
While it is not mandatory to use this exact format, any others must include similar details of your roleplaying character(s) on the forum. This outline may be subject to change at any time, and you may also change it--formatting, adding or collapsing a few things together, it's up to you. Just answer these, and it really doesn't matter what else you do.
To create a new character, post a new thread in Quarantine Identification and Profiling Service, with the subject being your character's name, copy and paste the following into the Message part of the post, and fill it out accordingly.
[b]Name :[/b] [b]Alias :[/b] [b]Status :[/b] [b]Gender :[/b] [b]Age :[/b] [b]Race :[/b] [b]Sexuality :[/b] [b]Marital Status :[/b] [b]Religion :[/b] [b]Hometown :[/b] [b]Current Residence :[/b] [b]Occupation :[/b] [b]Height :[/b] [b]Weight :[/b]
[b]Body Type :[/b] [b]Skin :[/b] [b]Eyes :[/b] [b]Hair :[/b] [b]Physical Description :[/b]
[b]Personality :[/b] [b]Likes :[/b] [b]Dislikes :[/b] [b]Fears :[/b] [b]Family :[/b] [b]History :[/b]

And to be proactive towards and potential questions, I will now explain the profile outline.
Name : What is your character's name? Alias : Does your character have any nickname(s) they commonly go by? Status : Is your character immune, and if not, are they infected or not? Gender : Is your character a boy or a girl, or are they something else entirely? Age : How old is your character? You may wish to include their birth date. Race : What race is your character (Caucasian/Asian/etc.)? Sexuality : How does your character swing? Marital Status : Is your character attached to someone, or are they crazy bachelor(ette)s? Religion : What does your character believe in, if anything? Hometown : Where does your character come from? Current Residence : Where is your character boarded up right now? Occupation : Does/Did your character hold a job? Height : How tall is your character? Weight : How much does your character weigh?
Body Type : Try to describe what your character's body is like in relatively vague detail. Are they lanky, muscular, short, for instance? Skin : Describe your character's skin. Eyes : Describe your character's eyes. Hair : Describe your character's hair. Physical Description : Now, put everything together; give us a full picture of your character, including what your character would look like on a typical day. The clothes and accessories on their backs are appreciated details. Speech : Somewhat optional. Try to describe your character's voice and speech patterns.
Personality : What is your character's personality like? Likes : If anything, what does your character like? This can range from objects to activities. Dislikes : If anything, what does your character dislike or hate? Fears : What does your character fear? Family : List the members of your character's family, alive or deceased. Typically, this would only include immediate members of the family, but it can be extended as necessary. History : Give a brief history of your character. Preferably, it should be on the short side while hopefully not falling beneath a paragraph or two.
Strengths : What are your character's strengths? Are they good in one subject or activity in particular? Weaknesses : What are your character's weaknesses? Remember, this is considered out-of-character knowledge, so unless your character has told someone about it, no one else will know. Weapons : What kind of firepower is your character running around with?
Extra Information : Optional. Is there anything else you'd like us to know about your character? Reference Picture(s) : Optional. If you have any reference pictures of your character, link to them here.
Sample Post : Give an example of what your character would be like in the context of a roleplay with a post. If you don't feel like writing up something on the spot, you may use a post from a roleplay you are/were participating in. Remember, this is also a sample of your writing in general, so make a good first impression!
I also like to include links to roleplays my character has been active in at the bottom here. It does wonders to help others understand your character a little better, and to help us keep up with what's going on.
