To Role Play, you need a character. You can either choose to be a canon character (one from the shows), use someone else's (with their permission), or make your own. A character that you made is called an OC, or Original Character. There are some rules for making characters which are listed below:
1. Don't make your character the most powerful being on Earth. No one wants to play with someone else if they can't ever win.
2. Give your character some strengths and some weaknesses. A perfect character is too boring....
3. Do not GodMode with your character.
Ex.= Bob chased after Joe and killed him.
Make it more like this:
Bob chased after Joe! He took out his pistol with one shot left and fired! Did he hit Joe? Or was his last shot wasted?
4. Your character can be a girl, boy, alien, cat, or whatever! It doesn't matter what your character is, as long as they're NOT God and they're NOT perfect! Everyone and everything has something bad happen to them in their lives, so do your characters!
5. Don't give your character every power or weapon in the world! If your character is combined (Say, a ghost-vampire) then they ONLY have the powers of whatever they are combined with. It can't be a ghost and suddenly have Matrix powers here! The most a character can be combined is two different creatures, not counting, being human.
6. Give your character at least one weakness. But, keep it in range. If your character is only weak against the sun, it's still kinda boring to play with. And, if your character is weak against everything, it's kinda annoying! So, keep it at a balance!
7. Don't make it completely about yourself. You can either write in 1st Person, or 3rd Person view of your character, but write mainly about what's going on. Not just, poor me, poor me, poor me!
The way to post a profile of your character is as follows. I will use my character as an example.
Full Name: Ashley Jenna Courman
Nickname, if any: A.J., she hates being called her first name.
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Race: Werewolf
Weapons/Powers, if any: She has the regular powers of a werewolf that you would find in any horror movie or book. She also can't control her powers on Halloween or a Full Moon.
Looks: (Specific detail is welcomed here! Or, you could put in a picture!)
Height: 5 ft. 7 in.
Weight: 135 lbs
Hair color: Long, black hair that is striped with dark blue, and bangs are tipped with dark blue.
Eye Color: Emerald green
Skin Tone: Light, pale sometimes, a scar runs down her right cheek, but is covered up by her bangs.
Clothes: (What the character always wears) A red, long-sleeved shirt with a black T-shirt over it, that has a paw-print design on the front. Dark blue jeans that match the blue in her hair, and black gym shoes.
Make-up, if any: She doesn't wear make-up.
Personality: She's shy around a lot of people, except her friends, and a lot of people think she's kinda scary. She can also be stubborn and hard-headed at times.
Summary: (This is where you can tell about how your character got their powers or what happened to them!)
When she was 8, A.J. and her parents were involved in a car accident, that killed both of her parents, and gave her the scar on her face. She managed to get out of the car alive and tried to go find help. But... they were no where near civilization. Eventually, she ran into a pack of rabid wolves that bit her, and... gave her, her powers. When help finally did come, her parents were already dead. Now she lives on the outskirts of AmityPark with her Grandfather on a big farm.
Friends and Foes: She is friends with Danny, Sam and Tucker. She can't stand the Box Ghost, and Vlad has taken an interest in her powers.
Strengths and Weaknesses: She can't control her powers on a Full Moon, or Halloween, loves meat, veggies are ENEMIES!!! (lol), and she has a temper that gets her in trouble... a lot. She also has a boyfriend (no body knows tho).
Other: (Here, you can blab on about your character and put different details in like, likes and dislikes, pets, family, mental problems (lol), and other stuff....)
A.J. has a brown horse named Hershey, several chickens (her favorite one's name is KFC, lol), lots of goats with no names, two sheep named You and Meh, and she used to have two dogs. A husky named Tsunami, and a GreyHound named Zipper. But, her grampa was allergic to dogs and they had to get rid of them. (Ironic, huh?)
Now, have fun! ;D
