help with character bio ?

Jdeer's picture
this may sound silly but can someone show me the ropes of making a bio for a character?
I don't know where to start. So what things should i write about them? should i add artwork? (but im not an artist i hardly draw) and should i post it in a normal blog entry etc?
hrmm sorry I'm still new here and if someone could just point me in the right direction on how to start/write a bio it would be awesome ! :- ) I might write a short one! I'm not too good with wording things.

Ahhh, I'd love to help. It

Ahhh, I'd love to help. It honestly depends on your style and what you want to add c: I usually put things like this;


Character Name:
Character Age:
Character Gender:
Character Species:
Character Voice(s):
Character Orientation:
Character Weight:
Character Height:
Likes:
Dislikes:
History:
Artwork by me:
Artwork by others:


And you don't have to have it in that particular order c: It just depends on how detailed you want the biography to be.
CSS is usually something I don't like to touch because I get too confused by it xD

Hmmmm there's no real outline

Hmmmm there's no real outline we use.
You can provide as much information or less as you want, or need.
You can just write a paragraph about them or make a form like the one above. It's all up to you there's no real way to make it. And, I doubt this was helpful
BUT if you need help making it pretty with CSS I can totes help

Oh pshhh xD Dont' worry about

Oh pshhh xD Dont' worry about that. If it looks silly, then let it look silly- we aren't going to bite your ankles and chew you out for that silly. :3 or at least I won't xD

Trust me, that's basically the way it works with most forums. Do it the way you feel comfortable0 if it's unusual it'll probably attract good attention.

Just be conscious of where

Just be conscious of where you are posting it. Smiling Post it in the Biography section, which will be in the drop down menu of your (create new) 'blog entry' category.

There are so many different blogs that I don't think we have set a standard yet. Play around with it and have all kinds of fun.

Bio's can change and take

Bio's can change and take time too, I don't always know what I want my char's voice to sound like, and maybe their likes and dislikes change, so none of it is too set in stone -- for me at least.

The general set-up I've seen is

(updates)
(about me section)
