A perfect persona is no fun. Honestly, they aren't. A perfect persona means that there is nothing wrong with them, and we all know that it is a person's flaws that are fun to write about. Reading about a persona's perfect day isn't much fun; reading about what went wrong, is! Try to avoid the cliches - such as a young woman with long, red hair, brillant purple eyes, and a perfect complexion. In fact, most "red heads" tend towards freckles!
Details are always a good thing. Physical and emotional descriptions should tend to be over two paragraphs long. Histories - well, the longer, the better! Your character may have been hit on the head and suffer amnesia, and not know their history - but it should still be put down and elaborated upon. Before you make out your own persona, why not look at some already created to get an idea of how one should look?
Names from the books are not allowed! This means you can't have a character named Lessa or Robinton. Similar names, such as Lissa and Robenten, are also not allowed. In addition, other names from literature (be it novels, television, or mythology) are not acceptable. Examples include - Talia, Buffy and Angelth, and Isis. We don't want to see J'sus, rider of green Maryth, running around either. Be original in your names. Pun names are also frowned upon. While it may be cute, do you honestly think you can write for K'mart, rider of Storeth for more than a post or two? Even if a name passes approval, it may be caught at a later time, in which case it will be asked to be changed.
