Application Help
This is the friendly app. help section! ^_^ Glad you decided to check this out, since it will give you some (hopefully) good hints at how to get a Cocoa-approved profile! ^^V I've highlighted the words that give kind of an overview of the whole thing...
Your Character
Name: Its very wise to create a name that has
something to do with your characters powers or personality. A couple good
places to look would be: babynames.com
and babynamer.com. Names in this RPG do
not have to be of Japanese origin, but they can be if you'd like. Or you can
even make up a name and give it a meaning. Meaning also needs to go in
this section, as well as any nicknames your character might have.
Gender: Is your character a guy or girl? Pretty
simple.
Birthday: Use the regular time system, such as
January 3, 1254. You can impress me even more by finding the year, since
the current year is up on the Setting page.
Astro Sign: Just the astrological sign that goes
with the birthday. Make sure it corresponds to the characters personality
and/or power.
Fav./Least Fav. Color: Anything you want. It doesn't even
have to correspond to the senshi colors.
Fav./Least Fav. Food: Be creative. You can create a new
food, or use one from Earth. Your choice.
Major Likes: Please something creative again. And only
stuff they really like, too. I'm sure your character likes a lot of stuff, but
what are some things that make their day super, or they can't live
without.
Major Dislikes: Not anything too obvious. Most
people DON'T like pain, killing others, or war. SO naturally, don't put those
down.
NPC Friends and Family: These are their closest friends,
and immediate/important family members. I don't think you need to put
Aunt Golly who your character hasn't seen for 6 years on here.
Appearance: These next sections are very important to me!
This is why I DON'T have a writing sample. These are what show me your writing
skills. Appearance is important, as it lets people know what your character
looks like... Umm.. Duh? Some things to remember are: Eyes, face shape,
body shape, height, apr. weight, build, nose and lips, make-up, hair color +
style, and common body movements, and maybe even voice if you feel compelled.
That is just a small list of what would be a base for a character.
Personality: With personality, it is best to take 3-5
adjectives about your character, and expand on those. Here is a
list of adjectives
(yes, that is a German adjective site. BUT it has the translations on there
too, so I think there is more than enough you can use). When expanding, add if
people know this about them and why they are that way.
History: This needs to follow their life, and explain
everything about them. I want to know everything about them, even stuff they
might not know. I don't want this to be a mystery to me. If you want, I don't
have to put all of this up on the profile page, so it can be something of a
surprise for others. A good way to start out is how old or how long the parents
had been married before they had this child, and what the money/job situation
was at that time. From there, things should pretty much follow. please add
where they got the bracelet from (ie. family heirloom, antique auction,
etc.), and how they discovered they were a senshi.
Your Senshi
Senshi Name: I hope this is self explanatory...
Power: This can be what was on the character page,
or a variant of the power listed.
Colors: Pick any colors! But be nice to your
character and make them match.
Items: Weapons, Divya, whatever. Might want to describe
them a bit.
Attacks: Add ALL of your attacks here, along with a
small description of what they do, and the percent of damage. No
attacks can do over 30% damage, unless you are Moreno. Which you aren't.
Your Baddie
Baddie Name: Another self-explanatory one...
Power: Listed. No variants on this one.
Colors: Keep it along with your power, please.
Items: Weapons with a description.
Attacks: Add ALL of your attacks here, along with a
small description of what they do, and the percent of damage. No
attacks can do over 30% damage, unless you are Moreno. Which you aren't.
