General Character Template

Name: (Your name here)
Age: (Doesn't have to be exact, something rough like 'mid-twenties' will do)
Gender: (Male/Female)
Rank: (Your job in the pack - the basic options are Scout, Warrior, Hunter, Stalker or Omega)
Description: (Keep it brief, just a general outline of your character's main distinguishing features, including fur colour, eye colour, any markings, clothing or accessories etc. Also describe any objects - like a sword, spear or shield - they might use in battle, although this is optional)
Personality: (Flesh out your character's… well, character. How do they act? Are they shy or aggressive, awkward or confident, funny or serious? Any likes or dislikes that might come into play? Put it all here, the bad as well as the good!)
Powers: (Your ability, if you have one. This is all completely optional, you might prefer to leave your character un-powered to make things more interesting for you. If you do choose a power, please consult the list of powers already in play and prepare to discuss any duplicates with the person who had it first!)
Strengths: (What is your character good at? Are they strong, or fast, or have good stamina? Are they talented in a particular field, like stealth, tracking or healing others? Try and tailor this to your character's personality and powers, if you can)
Weakness: (An important step. Your character must have a weakness, some kind of flaw which enemies can exploit, or things aren't going to be fun for anybody. It can be a crippling phobia, a negative personality trait, or a being vulnerable to a particular element like fire or water - either way, it has to be something that can easily come up. As a general guide, the more powerful your ability, the bigger - or more numerous - your weakness[es] must be to compensate)
History: (This will probably be the biggest part of the bio, but don't worry - the more detailed the better! Tell us about your character before they came here - some ideas might be to talk about their childhood, where they come from, why they left their old pack, how they gained their powers and maybe how they came to join the Poison Night Pack. What you put here is completely up to you, but it'll be the best way we get to know you and your character, so make it good!)

God Template
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please consult the pack Alphas before making a god for your character! Only a very few are allowed in play, and usually only to experienced RPers.

Name:
Concept: (What the god embodies, the part of the world they rule over, like Plants, Water, Preservation, Chaos or War)
Personality: (What are they like? How do they react to things? This will often be dictated by the god's concept - for instance, a goddess of War isn't going to take an insult peacefully - but also by popular stereotypes about them. Belief is what shapes a god, after all)
Bound Form: (The animal form they take most often, in order to hide or move about undetected)
Trueshape: (A description of the form they take when fighting or performing some act of godhood - usually based around the Bound Form, but with more supernatural attributes, such as a bear with crow's wings or a giant snake made out of plants. They can be as epic as you like, but this form will only appear very rarely)
Geas: (All gods have a geas or ban - like the weakness for a general character, only magnified. Gods are bound by rules that they physically can't break or risk destroying themselves, rules that might seem arbitrary or weird to mortals but that they take very seriously. For instance, a god might not be able to leave a certain area, or see a mortal carrying a specific object, or be able to move if their name is called three times in succession. The more powerful the god, the stronger the geas - the strongest gods have multiple ones. To know a god's geas is to have a vital advantage over them)
This is to help those people who struggle at writing a bio for their character, to provide some pointers and a template to follow. It isn't supposed to be the be-all and end-all - if you want to use some bits and not others, or don't follow all the prompts, that's fine by me - but hopefully it will provide a guide. You can put this either in the artists comments of a drawn ref, or wholley as a written ref; we accept both.

The god template is, I repeat, for experienced RPers only that have cleared their creation with the Alphas.

This is supposed to be used in tandem with the 'Character Creation Advice' sheet found below, and the list of powers already in play found in this journal: [link] Please do your best to read them!

You do not need to use this advice sheet, this is more for those whom are struggling with creating a new character. However there are a few things worth taking a peek at on here to avoid conflict in the future.   
Okay! So you want to join the Poison Night Pack? Nice choice! I'm Alpha Ghost, and I'll be helping you come up with some fancy ideas for your spanking new character!   
First and foremost, the character must be a werewolf which can either be biped, quadruped or both. They can have a human form, but this is to be kept out of the rp - this is a ' permanent' change. Oh, and your character must be recogniseably a wol


Welcome to the pack :D
