To create a character, fill out the following form and post it as a new thread in this board. You can begin roleplaying with that character once they've been moved to the Accepted board by the staff.

Tips and Further Details
- In the case of humans, the name should include a first name and a last name (a middle name is optional). Fairies and other beings typically only have one name. Drakes can go either way.
- Before you decide on an age for your character, be sure to check the species description threads and see if they have anything to say about lifespan. The only beings who live to be more than 200 years old are the fey.
- The genders to pick from are woman, man, and non-binary.
- Your character's orientation can range from bisexual to asexual and anything in between. Mentioning a romantic orientation as well as a sexual orientation is optional. It's also fine to put "unsure", "doesn't use a label", "questioning", or any such variation.
- The species to choose from are human, drake, nymph, volant spirit, and fey. Humans and drakes do not have types. Nymphs, volants, and the fey do have types. If you're filling out a bio for a nymph, volant, or fairy, check their descriptions (here for nymphs, here for volants, and here for the fey) to see what types are available.
- If your character has vampirism or lycanthropy, say so under Conditions, and otherwise, you can leave it blank or put "none". Vampires and lycans still have a species as well, so don't forget to add what they were before they were infected (human is recommended).
- Modifications can be purchased from the store. If you haven't already contacted the staff about making a purchase, leave this part blank or put "none". This section can be edited later after you've acquired more tokens.
- For your character's occupation, think about what they're capable of and what they'd want to avoid. Re-read their species description for ideas. Being unemployed is also an option.

security guard, detective, firefighter, nurse, bounty/vampire hunter, cop (crooked or otherwise), drug dealer (fairy dust or otherwise), glassblower, musician, sales clerk, DJ, bartender, sex worker, con artist, football coach, baker, store/nightclub/small business owner, tour guide, IT worker, mechanic, pawn broker, school teacher, lawyer, cab driver, janitor
- The character's physical description should conform to the limitations of their species and be worded in a way that is objective. Calling a character "beautiful" or "ugly" or any other such evaluative term is not allowed because it describes a feeling or reaction to the character instead of what, specifically, the character looks like. Different people have different tastes. Your description should give details, not tell others what to think.
- In your character's history, be careful not to make any sweeping generalizations that control more characters than are under your power. Claiming that "everyone" in town likes/dislikes them is a form of powerplay because other characters' reactions are not for you to decide.
- Including a picture of your character in their bio is optional.
