Below are the rules for both your character(s) profile and your site profile. The specific rules for your character will be found in the PROFILE FORM, following the rules.
Profile Rules!
*Banners are not to stretch the page. They can go to the very edge of the page, there is no specific requirements, but if the page is stretched AT ALL, you will be asked to make the banner smaller, or remove it all together.
*You may use your own avatars, or, if you have one that WILL NOT STRETCH THE PAGE, but is bigger then the allowed 100 x 100, then you may PM an admin the url, and they can put it on the list of available icons, which will allow it at its full size.
*No sexually explicit or profane banners or avatars.
*No sexually explicit writing in your signature, location, or any other text-based field of your profile.
*No more then three characters per user profile! No more than one user profile on the site.
*When making your profile, keep grammer and spelling in mind. Your profile MUST be accepted by Kassa before you may roleplay. No other admin besides Kassa is allowed to accept a profile, unless Kassa is away and specifically grants an admin with the ability, or the time comes when Kassa needs help and decides to give the ability to accept profiles to another admin.
Profile Form! Below is the form and the requirements for each section for your profile.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: Concerning the Original Avatars. Just because you put in your profile that you are one, will not automatically make you one. If you choose to try for one of these positions, its recommended that you have some experiance rping and really put in a good effort. I will be the final judge in if you can be one or not.
Name: Your characters name. While I'm not too picky about this, try to be creative. No bobs or susans running around, please. Also, while I wont be watching too closely for this, try to keep to the asian influence of the Avatar universe.
Age: Again, not too picky. When it comes to how old you can be, for the most part, no one older than 80, please. However! If you can come up with a good reason for why your character is, say, 150 years old, then I may just accept it. IMPORTANT: All Original avatars must be 16 years old! They must be the same age, and as we see in the series, this is generally the age an avatar is told that he or she is the avatar, except, obviously, in Aangs case.
Nation of Origin: While I understand that many characters travel, your character was born somewhere, and more than likely, that somewhere belonged to one of the four nations. So, is your character from the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribes, or Air Temples. Note: You may be more specific if you wish, so if you want to put "Northern Water Tribe" for example, thats fine.
Gender: Easy Enough. Boy or girl?
Bender? If so, what kind?: Is your character a bender? If he/she is, then what kind? I'm not picky on benders from mixed households or whatever, but please, no Airbenders from an all firebender family, or anything like that. Benders from mostly nonbending families are fine though. Also, of course you may be a nonbender, if you choose. At the moment there are no limits on how many benders there can be, but if we are too overrun by them, I'll make limits. IMPORTANT: While I dont care if your character is a master or beginner at bending, please keep it true to your characters age! Its unlikely that a ten year old Earthbender would be a master at it. On the other side, a 40 year old firebender would not be a beginner, unless their bending was somehow stunted. Now, there may be a few prodigies running around, if their profiles are good enough, but not many. Obviously the Original Avatars are exceptions to this rule.
Group:This includes citizen, military, scientist, and more. Look at the list of groups ((that I will be setting up shortly)) for more.
Apperance: What does your character look like? You may provide a picture, but if there is any extra info that the picture does not provide, please tell us. NO FURRIES. NO CAT EARS. NO HUMAN/ANIMAL HYBRIDS. NONE! No wacky colored hair, either. Silver or white is fine, if you can explain why [or if you're the water avatar] but no blues, or red-reds ((regular orangish-red is fine, as its an actual color)) Or etc. Be creative with the eyes though, as long as it isn't something TOO out of the ordinary.
Personality: Be creative! No Mary Sues. >< Few people are "very kind but with an explosive temper." Plus, be descriptive, please.
History: This is actually optional. Its never been one of my favorite fields to fill out, but many people seem to like it. The only time a history is necessary is if it is needed to describe WHY your character is a master bender at the age of ten, or WHY your character is 150 years old. Stuff like that is to be explained here, and if its a good enough reason, I might let it slide.
RP SAMPLE: Just a quick example of your RP skills. =3
Special Abilities: These may or may not be allowed. These include things such as blue fire bending, plant bending, etc.
Pets should have a small mini profile with basic information!
IMPORTANT NOTES!
-Avatar apperances. Remember that the Original Avatars are infused with the powers of the origins of bending. And so, they must have apperances to match. NO. This does not mean that they have ears or tails or any of that! However, for example, The Earth Avatar must be blind, as Badger Moles are blind. And the Air Avatar must have a larger body build. They do not have to be huge, but larger than normal, to represent the Air Bison. Also, they must have arrow tattoos, but you can be creative with those. The Water Avatar must have light colored hair, as to represent the moon. It does not have to be white, but some variation of white, silver, or pale yellow is best. The Fire avatar must have golden or amber eyes, as those were the most common eye colors among dragons. Stuff like that.
*Avatar Personalities! They must also have the personality to match. Badger Moles=quiet, solitary and calm. Air Bison=Wise, The Moon=Balanced, and Dragons=fierce. You may of course be creative with this, but this is a guideline.
*Benders! As I said, keep your bender's ability age worthy, and keep their skills to their levels. No beginning benders lightning bending!
WATER BENDERS! Blood-bending IS allowed, however, it can not be used as a godmoding or powerplaying tool. You must still give the other person a chance to resist it, as it is possible. AGAIN, this is something that would not be seen at the beginner level. So if you decide that your bender is a beginner, they cannot blood bend.
EARTH BENDERS! Metal bending and sand bending are allowed! Again, not at the beginning levels.
FIRE BENDERS! Lightning bending IS allowed. HOWEVER, blue fire bending is a privilage given out by the main admin, so you may ask for the ability, if you wish. I may or may not grant it.
