Creation Guidelines
1. Characters may be any race you can think up, as long as you can provide proper information and, if in the case of creating a character as part of a race already on the site, make sure you keep it consistent. If someone creates a race that their character is the only one of, you can't be it. If it is decided vampires melt in the sun, your vampire has to melt in the sun, too.
2. Find a picture that looks like a good base for your character's appearance, but it is okay if some details are change in the description of your character's appearance. The description overrides the picture.
3. Make sure you pick a background and personality you can stick with. Don't make your character an alien who doesn't know what anything is if you aren't willing to constantly ask someone what this or that is, et cetera.
4. Try to keep skills, spells and weapons unique. General skills, such as being a race that moves fast, should go in character creation to avoid repeating skills.
5. If your powers/weapon/character is deemed too A.) cliched, B.) over-powered, C.) sob-story-feel-bad-for-me or if your character is magically the last of a fairly common race, such as being the only human or demon, you may be asked to Nerf (change/decrease the power of) your character. In such occasions, follow what is stated in General Rules, rule 4.
6. Generality should be avoided, because it is the details that make individual different.
