THE PROFILE ! « Thread Started on Oct 14, 2009, 2:23pm »
When creating a character, please remember that not everyone's past is tragic. More likely than not, you're character's family is still going to be living and healthy. When creating your character's history, remember to make sure that you read the completed profiles of other family members, if any exist to make sure that they coincide where they should.
Also remember that this site circles mainly around the nobility and gentry of the time, and the people wealthy enough to try and buy their way into the uppercrust of society. In the future, I may change this. Right now, however, this is the way it's going to be. This site is mostly about the London Season, and the marriage market that it created.
To accompany this, DIVERSITY IN CHARACTERS! I demand it! We can't have a bunch of pretty seventeen year old girls who were presented early looking around for a husband with me being the only one with a male character, okay? When I say diversity, I mean not only in gender, but also in age and marital/relationship status. I would say race, but that's not really an issue here as, historically, the upperclass of Georgian and Regency England is white. So that's how I expect your characters to be.
Post your profiles in this board as their own thread, titled along the lines of: "LAST NAME, title first name". If it is incomplete, mark with either an WIP, NF, IC in the title so that I don't tear it apart and make you cry in a premature review of it.

TITLE HERE firstmiddlelast
like a good child, i've been seen and not heard for AGE IN LETTERS years, but that's all about to end. i'm about to make my break into society, regardless of what FATHER'S NAME and MOTHER'S NAME say. and SIBLINGS NAMES/EVERYONE ELSE if no siblings? well, they better watch out because i'm going to outshine them all. of course, WOMEN/MEN/WOMEN & MEN are my weakness, but hopefully i won't be faced with a PRETTY LADY or HANDSOME GENTLEMAN during my debut.
eavesdroppers never hear good of themselves !
three or four paragraphs about personality
it's a long road that has no turns !
four or five paragraphs about your character's history
none are so deaf as those that will not hear !

by jove! it's my old chap ALIAS HERE. Why, we've known each other for, how long is it now? Something like YEARS OF ROLEPLAYING, isn't it? this old chap's from PLACE YOU LIVE/TIMEZONE, but don't hold that against HIM/HER. this young LADY/GENTLEMAN is only AGE, but he's got a bright future ahead of HIM/HER. that is, if they stop hanging around those fools, ALL CHARACTERS HERE.
