Official Profile Template

[taxonmods]

Okay, gang! Dien here. Per the suggestions from the post of a few days ago, we have a cleaned-up-and-finalized version of the combined profile/permissions template for your characters.

No hard deadline being set, but the sooner you can fill these out, the sooner we can clean up our massive link directory a little bit, which is a good thing! Or so I like to think.

Step 1: Copy and paste the code from this box!

<B>JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM</B> <B>Name:</B> How your character's name displays on the tablet <B>Aliases:</B> Other names your character has used or is known by, if applicable <B>Age and/or birthday:</B> You may also include 'apparent physical age' if you like <B>Fandom/Media/OC?:</B> What is your character from? <B>Programmed Possession:</B> What did they bring with them to Taxon? <b>Arrival date:</b> The real-world date your character posted their intro in Taxon <B>I am...:</B> Sum up your character in ten words or less. <B>BODY OF EVIDENCE</B> <B>Describe your character physically.</B> Go hog wild here. Describe anything and everything about your character that someone could notice about their physical body-- height and build, coloring, scars, mannerisms, nervous tics, personal hygiene, how they walk... Write as much (or as little) as you like. <B>What does your character wear?</B> How they dress, etc; fashionable or sloppy, color-coded or color-blind, what sort of care they take with their wardrobe. Or don't. <B>That covers what they look like. What do they sound like?</B> Voice and diction goes here. Do they speak softly? Do they have a voice raspy with cigarettes? What's their vocabulary like? <B>Running down the list of the five senses.... smell?</B> Many people in Taxon have enhanced sniffers. What do they scent when your character gets near? <B>Touch & Taste. Uh, okay there.</B> If you're one of those completists who feels compelled to answer every possible ticky box, you can get really detailed and answer this one. (Weirdo.) How your character's blood might taste to vampires can fall under this one, if you like. <B>The fine, fine details:</B> If your character were subject to a thorough and detailed medical examination, would anything in particular stand out about them? <B>PB differences?</B> Do they <I>differ</I> from their PB in any significant ways? <B>BENEATH LE SURFACE</B> <B>A history of me:</B> How have they come to be the person they are? Links to established summaries of canons or characters are accepted for those of you who like to use those. <B>Who matters?</B> Who are the most important people and relationships in your character's life? In or out of Taxon-- if they left family or friends behind, talk about that here. You can also feel free to talk about their relationships with the people they have met in Taxon-- who do they get along with? Who are they indifferent towards? Who would they like to throw off a cliff? <B>Personality & Psychology:</B> A summation of how this person thinks, feels, and relates to other people. <B>Skills, Powers, Weaknesses, and et cetera:</B> Use this space to list both 'mundane' skills (your character's a good cook, or a kick-ass shuffleboard player), as well as any 'superpowers' they may have, if applicable. Additionally, you can list weaknesses and flaws (she's phobic of commitment, he's terrible in bed...). All sorts of things can go here, including languages spoken or college classes taken. <B>Sexytiems:</B> All fields on this are optional, including this one, but if you would like to digress at length about your character's sexuality/attitude towards sex/love/romance, this would be the place to do it. <b>Best way to meet this character:</b> Someone's new to Taxon, and maybe their character isn't the most outgoing-- what is the likeliest way your characters can meet? In other words, what does your character do in his or her daily Taxon routine that would provide opportunities for other characters to run into them? Where can they be found? What plot hooks are good ways to get CR going for this character? <B>PERMISSIONS</B> This section is to establish a baseline of both OOC permission and IC conditionals for various things that might happen in game. As always, just telling someone to 'talk to you OOC' on any borderline cases is a perfectly vald answer. <B>THE MIND:</B> Can your character's mind or emotions be read by characters with the ability to do that? Do they have any sort of resistance to this? Is it okay with you OOCly? How will you designate 'thoughts' in narration? What is their mind like? <B>THE BODY:</B> Is it okay for your character to come to physical harm? What sorts of invulnerabilities or resistances, if any, do they have to bodily injury? Is there anything you're specifically cool or not cool with? Are their possessions and homes available for damage, or not? <B>FUNKY STUFF:</B> Is it okay for characters who are psychic or just 'know' things about your character to get information from your background/wiki/etc and reference those things in threads? Is it okay if people can 'sense' things about your character, such as auras or true species? <B>PRIVACY:</B> Are you okay with characters threadhopping into your threads and posts, and/or threadjacking? Are you okay with characters reading your character's unlocked posts? Their locked posts? Will your character ever hide their presence on the tablet map? <B>SURPRISE!:</B> Are you okay with your character being snuck up on, or do they have skills or powers that would make this unlikely? <B>MISCELLANEOUS</B> POST YOUR PIC-SPAM, QUOTES OR EXCERPTS FROM CANON, AND FUNKY GIFS, BABY.

Step 2: Post an entry to your character's journal with the filled-out results!

Step 3: Comment here with a link to the post!

Step 4: Profit! (Don't ask us how that one works just yet, still kinks in the system...)

Much of this information is probably in your application. If anyone needs their application sent back to them due to having lost it on their computer, just PM Dien and I can send it to you. Many of the things on this app you may have already answered, like on the Physical Deets meme or the Sex meme; feel free to copy your previous answers if you like.

Fill out the meme once for every character you have in Taxon, and as always, have fun!
