Things to Keep in Mind When Creating a Character
Names: A character's name generally has two parts; a given name and a family name. You can have up to four parts in your name before it gets a little out of hand, and please avoid names like 'Twilight Hurricane Tornado Topaz Sparkle' or something ridiculous like that. As far as online names go, anything is fine as long as it doesn't contain any foul language or degrading phrases.

Occupation: Your character's occupation should correspond with their age and background. You're not going to have a criminal wanted in thirty other countries have a high profile job, nor are you going to have a once famous musician cleaning someone's house.

History: Not everyone has interacted with cannon characters in their past, and even fewer have done something significant with the cannons. If you want to mention a cannon character in your history, contact the person who role plays said cannon. If nobody plays the character then contact an admin. On a different note, not everyone has experienced a tragic past, so make your character(s) vary. It's good to have some characters who are horribly traumatized, but your average Joe with a normal life can be just as interesting.

Abilities: A person's abilities depend on the trials they've faced through life, natural talents they were gifted with and things that they have done to acquire a certain skill. It also depends on their age and background. Make sure to include why your character has said ability.
