1) YOU CANNOT POST UNTIL YOUR CHARACTER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED. Post your character profile as a new thread in Characters, and wait until I either accept it or PM you with what needs doing to get it up to being accepted. I've put up a profile for my own character as a basic guide.
2) YOU ARE ALLOWED TO LEAVE IT PARTIAL FOR A WHILE, AS LONG AS YOU STATE THAT IT IS NOT FINISHED AT THE TOP OF THE PROFILE. Your profile will not be accepted in this state, but I will be willing to wait a while until you finish it. I may still PM you if anything's pressing, and if you leave it for more than a week, without giving me a heads up, I will not hesitate to delete it.
3) IF YOU WANT TO, FEEL FREE TO SEND ME A PM WITH A PROSPECTIVE CHARACTER. This is just for those who prefer to be very sure that they're doing it right, or they have ideas for this character they want to run by me. I don't mind people doing that.
4) IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A DAUGHTER, A VILLAIN, OR SOMEONE SIMILARLY INVOLVED, PLEASE PM ME FIRST. I'd also prefer, if a daughter, that you give me a brief explanation of what happened to the girl after she was kidnapped, so I can try to make sure two don't have the same backstory. First person to get accepted as a daughter chooses the basics of what the girls look like. Once that one's in, the other daughters have to look plausibly related to them.
5) ORIGINAL CHARACTERS PLEASE. You're allowed pictures of fictional characters to represent yours, but you are not allowed to just copy a character from your favourite book and use them.
6) MARY SUES/GARY STUS/ANTI SUES. Nobody likes them. I will not hesitate to call you on the creation of one.
7) YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO POST IN CHARACTER THREADS WITH ACCEPTANCE PENDING. Afterwards, I can't really see any harm in it.
Lastly, for the love of god, USE GOOD GRAMMAR. Commas are my personal pet peeve when they are not used enough, I will not hesitate to viciously correct your grammar.

CHARACTER SKELETON
Name:
Age:
Race: (Optional, just in case you want to get creative. If you decide not to be human, please try to keep it to swords and sorcery fantasy archetypes, rather than having a Klingon walking around) (Actually, if you want to be a Klingon, go ahead, that'd be cool)
Appearance: (I'd prefer a picture and at least a brief description, in case the picture doesn't work. I'd like the description to at least cover the basics, usual clothing, height and body type E.G. short and stocky or tall and willowy)
Personality: (Please get this at least ten good sized sentences. Feel free to use as many more than that as you like.)
History: (I'd like at least fifteen good sized sentences from this one. Again, as many more than that as you like.)
