So, you want to begin roleplaying with us? Yippee! But first, you'll need a character. You can copy and paste one of our templates into a shiny new thread, and then fill out the details as required. Or, if you're feeling a little more adventurous; you can write your character's profile freestyle!
Here are just a few little things to keep in mind during the creation process:
In the final post can also be found some quick and easy tables, free to use as you wish in any of your posts.

Template for Creations:
Name:
Gender:
Creator:
Appearance:
Personality:
Other:
You may include other information if you wish. These are just the essential details. But first, here is a quick explanation of some of the terms used:
Other - This refers to any powers that your Creation might have (not including fire-breathing, which is assumed to be an ability of your character unless stated otherwise). They can not have control over an element, unlike the Elemental dragons, and they must not have more than two powers. Also, it would be best if your character didn't have some kind of world-blowy-uppy ability. That sort of thing could be considered to be power-play, and is also not the sort of power you would expect of a dragon that is supposed to be considerably less powerful than an Elemental.
Also, please try to be at least somewhat original. We don't really want five Creations all running around with exactly the same power!
In this section, you could also put any information that hasn't been covered in another section, but that you feel should nonetheless be included. For example; you might want to talk about your character's history, or mention an especially close friend of theirs. Alternately; you might choose to make additional sections for such information.
In addition, you should say here if your character is an Ambassador. Each Elemental has an Ambassador, who carries messages for them and runs errands and (I suppose) is a bit like a P.A. If you want your Creation character to be an Ambassador, ask the roleplayer of the relevant Elemental. All Ambassador positions are open currently except for Life and Light.
Creator - This is where you state which Elemental gathered its elemental power to Create your character. The Creation can already have been created, or you can get the role player of the appropriate Elemental to actually role play the creating of him/her.
Right, so that's about it. Try and make your character's thread as awesome as humanely possible, so that everyone can see how fantastic they are! But, above all; remember to have fun!
Here are just a few little things to keep in mind during the creation process:
- Creations may not have more than two special abilities (excluding standard breath weapons such as fire, or ice beams for Ice dragons).
- You should aim to complete your character's profile within a month. If you'd like extra time just notify a staff member, otherwise the application will be archived.
- If you want to apply for the Son or Daughter of an Elemental, you will need to gain permission from the roleplayers of both parents. If you want to apply for a Creation of any Elemental, however, you do not need to ask permission.
