Human Template

Human Application


In Character


--------------------
General Information
--------------------

Name: Self explanatory. Please place the full name of your character. If you desire, you may place nick names here as well, but we're looking for a mandatory full name.

Age: Humans generally live up to about a hundred years of age in the Bleach Universe, depending upon their spiritual energy. As such, you may feel free to insert the age of your character up to that maximum age.

Gender: Male or Female

Appearance

Pictures are always helpful, but they should not be a replacement for appearance. A picture cannot tell how tall someone is in comparison, nor the weight. Still, things like this are not alone in this section. Use pictures as a guideline if you have to. Please refrain from making 'lists' in this section, we would prefer you to write out the actual appearance. You may, however, write out a preemptively, i.e., while it's still a WIP, in order to help you describe the general characteristics of your applicant.

Hair color, length, style, eye color, skin complexion, height, weight, body build, muscle mass; all things that are visual aspects should be included here. Do they wear glasses? Do they have accessories like earrings, bracelets, or necklaces? What style of clothing do they normally wear? So on and so forth. As above, this section should be roughly 2 to 3 paragraphs; five to seven sentences each.

Personality

A general explanation of your character's personality. Make sure you don't have contradicting aspects listed here, i.e., state that he or she is a 'rebel' but 'respects authority,' or hates violence but loves to fight. Such things tend to make no sense at all. The best route to go would be to stick to a single aspect, and elaborate. Dig deep; what truly brings your character out? Don't just give a general, bland description, we want you to truly develop your character's personality here. Explain what makes this character of yours more three dimensional. What pisses them off, what makes them laugh, what do they like, are they easily trusted, or do they trust easy? So on and so forth.

A lot of people have been making contradictions in their explanation of the personality, and I believe it's due to players wanting to put in too much into their character. Tone it down to about one to three aspects of a basic personality, then expand from there. This section should roughly be 1 to 2 paragraphs; five to seven sentences each.

History

Birth, parents, childhood, maturity/puberty, teenage years, adult life, schooling, friends, training, etc. Everything in terms of what goes on in one's life should be placed here. Key points, like the first time your character witnessed a spirit, or had their spiritual abilities discovered should be listed; key points in one's history and so forth. Important points in your character's life should certainly be placed here; sibling births, any sort of move from city to city, starting school, and the key points listed above.

All of this can be mentioned here. Your Origin of Power may be 'referenced,' i.e., you don't need to copy and paste it here. However, we do require a good lengthy history; 4 - 5 paragraph minimum, of five sentence minimum each. That's twenty sentences, at the bare minimum; fairly easy. Each paragraph can hold a key point in their lives; it's simple. First paragraph, describing parents, birth, and where they grew up. Second paragraph, childhood to teenage years. Third paragraph, discovery of spiritual awareness. Fourth paragraph, discovery of power. The fifth can be placed anywhere, and can hold key points in the character's life. See? Easy, I just gave you pretty much a template to work with.

Skills
--------------------

Skills

All skills have a certain level; Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. For all races, you are limited to Two Advanced Categories at maximum, and Two Intermediate. These skills are the basic skill set in which your character excels.

Humans are done a little differently here than any of the other races. Because each human can have their own unique trait, we've allowed a bit more leeway here. Instead of giving you four set skills, we will give you a list to choose from. Humans can have a variety of skills for a variety of purposes. It would all depend upon the character you create. There are physical skills, as well as some other cool skills your character could find useful. Please choose up to FOUR from the following:

Swordsmanship - General sword fighting
Marksmanship - General long-range weaponry
Boxing - A hand-to-hand skill, more upper body strength
Martial Arts - A hand-to-hand skill, average upper and lower body strength
Kick Boxing - A hand-to-hand skill, more lower body strength
Swimming - General ability to swim in water (or other liquids)
Medicine - General knowledge of how to treat wounds
Electronics - General understanding of computers and technology

These are a very basic skill set. As stated above, please only choose four from this list. You, however, CANNOT choose all three Hand-to-hand combat skills. Original Skills may also be listed here, should you create a character that does not seem to fit some of the above mentioned. However, the skill MUST be approved by a moderator during the application process.

Attributes

For all races, you are limited to Two Advanced Categories at maximum, and Two Intermediate. These stats will not change, but simply reflect the potential of your character and how he or she advances.

Powers
--------------------

Spiritual Awakening

This is a fairly brief 'History' portion of the application. While it may be repeated in History section, we want you to explain to us how your character acquired their abilities. Please explain in roughly one paragraph how your character began 'seeing spirits.' In the History section, you may simply reference this section rather than repeating yourself.

Discovery of Powers

This is a fairly brief 'History' portion of the application. While it may be repeated in History section, we want you to explain to us how your character acquired their abilities. Please explain in roughly one paragraph how your character began developing their abilities. In the History section, you may simply reference this section rather than repeating yourself.

Abilities Description

This is simply a section that helps you to create a theme for your Human character. The description of Chad's armored arms, or Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka would be placed here. The actual abilities would not, but a description of the 'power' would be.

Other Specialty Items

If your character happens to have some sort of special item, it can be placed here. List the name, then the description of the item and what it's used for.

--------------------
Abilities, First Stage
--------------------

Here, you may list three abilities at max. Remember that all powers for all characters must have a specific overall theme. Also note that all race applicants must also abide by the Powers section located in the next chapter. For all powers and abilities, please make a list format, similar to this:

Name of Ability

Description of Attack -
Type -
Range -
Limitation -


Remember to make a limitation of your power. Powers with no limiters will not be accepted, and will be asked for limitations to be placed.

--------------------
Abilities, Second Stage
--------------------

Same as above, limited to one ability.
