Getting Your Character Added

Do you have a new character who is active in the rpg mailing list? Fill out the profile below and mail it to MatrixOps@yahoo.com. (This is the only mailbox from which profiles and the like will be processed!) It's a good idea to wait a few weeks after joining the list before writing, because details about a character often change during that time. Profiles for characters who are not on the mailing list will be ignored.

Please feel free to send updates for your character.

Pictures: You are welcome to illustrate your character's page with a picture. Please email the file and Matrix Ops will add it. (If it's already on the web, just send the URL.) If you are sending a large file, i.e., one MB or more, please let Matrix Ops know in advance. Ideally the picture would be in .gif or .jpg format. If possible, please trim the picture so that it is no wider than 200 pixels and the file size is under 30 kb. If it is not, let Matrix Ops know and we will work with you. Your picture must be suitable for viewers of all ages. (Ladies of the Comyn, please remember to cover your necks properly!)

Matrix Operations reserves the right to edit all profiles for the sake of length, clarity, and spelling! (Nevertheless, the spell checker is your friend. Don't neglect it. ^_^)

Note: this is not an actual form. Just copy the text to an email message.

Example of a Character Profile

(If you wish to use a version of this profile in a website for another rpg, please include a link like this: "Based on a form created for the Darkover Online RPG.")

This is just an example- feel free include your own categories if necessary. Leave out any categories that don't apply or are unnecessary. (You don't need to tell us that a 10-year-old is single, or that the object of a married character's romantic relationship is his wife.)

  • Name: Need help choosing a name? See the list of Darkovan first names, and also read up on the different noble families. Please try not to take a name that is already being used by another character! Write to the rpg's mailing list to ask if the name you have in mind is already in use.
  • a.k.a.
  • Age:
  • Marital Status:
  • Occupation:
  • Former Occupations:
  • Residence:
  • Laran gift and laran training:
    i.e., do you have a specific gift of one of the families? "None" is also an option, especially for non-Comyn and Terrans!
    The list has agreed that no character should have more than one specific gift at full strength, and no more than two specific family gifts at any level.
  • Politics:
  • Personality:

    This category is like the box on forms that says "for official use only." I will only include a link to one of the family trees if your character is already part of that family tree. If that's not the case, please don't fill in this line.
  • E-mail:
    If you don't want your email made public, please let me know.
