Character Name – Just that

Created by – who created the character

Rating – Some people are very particular about how a character they created is used, others may post a character but want to develope it a little more on their own before making it public domain, while others yet may post a character only as a reference and wish that nobody else use it. The following rating of stars's and skulls's is for a quick reference to other writers. (Use *'s for stars and X's for skulls when submitting or ammending characters.)
- Non protective, have fun with it.

- Somewhat protective, read profile carefully.

- Very protective, do not add any trait not given in past stories.

- Extremely protective, the character’s creator wants to see anything said about the character before it is posted.

- Hands off, character posted just for reference or its creator is planning on developing it further before opening it to public use.

Character Type - Simple one word description of the character's occupation, nationality, general demeanour, etc. for easy reference so other writers can get an ‘at a glance’ idea of the character, i.e. Hero or Villain. More descriptive use could be used to add any non-human traits or occupation, i.e. Dwarf/Villain or Neutral/Mercenary, etc.

Physical Description - Just that; what they look like, general dress (or different dress for different occasions, weapons used, etc. Illustrations can be sent too, but please only one per character (if they wear different outfits for different occassions, just send the picture for that most often worn). Pictures can be captured from other sights, hand drawn and scanned, created by Hero Machine, etc. Pictures will be PG.

Personality Traits - Anything else we should know about the character; strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, fears, etc.

Background - Any of their persoanl history you want to give. It can either be a summary of things mentioned in stories, or a little background information that you haven't figured how to incorporate into a story. Please, no novels.

Relation to Deb U - How do they fit in with Deb U? If they came to Deb U, how would they react to the people there in general? It could be as simple as Bob’s cousin or a brief description of why they hate any and all deb that they will meet. Again, no novels please.

Past Appearances - What stories have they appeared in? (if any are posted anywhere then include URL’s).


Rules of Usage

1 - There are five types of characters:
--HtLJ/XWP regulars - Hercules, Xena, Iolaus, Gabrielle, etc.,
--Forum Personalities - the personalities that forum members have taken on,
--Pets - many forum folk have pets that they drag along on various adventures, lists of these can be found at the pet registration and at Kel's Temple,
--Supporting Characters - characters created and developed for stories who don't have a real-life counterpart outside of cyberspace, and
--Background Characters - guards, attendants, no-names, etc. used for filler.
This forum is for the third of these, Supporting characters. More specifically, for supporting characters who are likely to make further appearances in future stories. A villain who appeared and died in only one story really doesn't belong here.

2 - Please bide by the ratings. I have neither the time nor the desire to get drawn into any arguments about someone misusing a character.

3 - Characters are the intellectual property of their creators. Only the creator of a character can submit that character for posting or submit ammendments for one of their characters. If you fill in details in the life of another person's character that you think ought to be added to their description then you contact the creator of the character and have them send in the ammendments.


Glossary

In time, I hope to add a glossary of character related terms. e.g. if a character belongs to a specific organization or is of a specific non-human type that isn't commonly known then people would be able to look up a brief description.
