    Hiya

    The forums are a strong supporting thing for the IG rp. Bios and Journals can enrich the RP and the whole story and the characters and flesh them out. They also gain tokens.


    What we'll be looking for:

    Thought that's gone into the characterisation and the story. Six lines aren't enough unless you're an amazing writer. Equally, individual entries that are veyr long actually can be quite hard to read, so a nice balance would be appreciated.

    Thought that has gone into a character shines out. That's what we'll be looking for.

    Reasonable spelling and grammar. We don't ask perfection but it must be readable and it must, again, have a bit of thought in it. If you're not a native English speaker, we understand that it's not so easy, just let us know that you're not.

    A sense of the personality of the character

    Suggestions:

    A good start is the physical appearance and how they move, sound etc. You may want to put in their childhood and years up until they come into the server. Turning-point events or such like, or really important friendships/ family / tutors. Maybe his motives or his likes and dislikes.

    Most of all, a sense of the person.

    Any questions, please ask here Smile
