Well, here I am again, due to my own devices. But this time around, I've got a better and hopefully more original character for y'all! It's been awhile since I let this guy loose, let alone since I drew him, so I wonder how he's going evolve in the coming RP's, when and if he gets accepted. Anyway, on to the character!
The Questionnaire!(Please note that this is not a complete character profile—that comes later. This is more of an abbreviated "character concept" sheet. Get the basic premise for the character approved, then you can move on to building a full wiki profile. This is so people don't waste time on long profiles only to get rejected for some fundamental rule they missed.)
What is your character's name?
> Aquila "AQ" Jones.
Species?
> Golden eagle.
Age?
> 17.
Give us a couple paragraphs of general info about your character. For example, what's the character's personality like? What kind of things does he or she do? Why does he or she do it? (Please don't give us your character's point-by-point life history, though.)
> Aquila is exactly what he seems like upon first impression: a pompous eagle born with a silver spoon in his beak. Comfortable with cruising through life with all the money he could ever ask for, AQ has shown from a young age that he is easily capable of being patronizing, narcissistic, and extraordinarily shallow. He covers these character flaws with a thin layer of charm, and sometimes this layer is just thick enough that someone might not immediately realize just what kind of personality AQ has.
AQ has no shame in the things he enjoys most, which include beautiful girls (of practically any species), fast cars, expensive wines and his most favorite thing of all; looking better than everyone else around him. He hates being shown up others, and if its within his limits, AQ will sometimes go to great lengths to prove those others wrong just to make himself look good.
But despite his many flaws, AQ is not all bad. Though his charm is often misguided, he can sometimes be genuinely concerned for others, and despite his parent's wealth, he isn't at all greedy. In fact, AQ is even willing to bribe certain individuals when he deems it necessary. With a father who owns a few skyscrapers in Empire City, money has never really been an issue for AQ, and so he's perfectly fine with throwing it around carelessly.
Does your character have any skills or special abilities, a gimmick, or anything that makes it stand out as an athlete or fighter? If so, talk a little about it here. Be sure to include an explanation or origin story for anything unusual, extraordinary, or supernatural.
> AQ is a terrible fighter. He knows it, and it's safe to say that he's all talk when it comes to most confrontations. However, as a golden eagle, his talons and his beak are still pretty sharp, and can inflict deep wounds on an unsuspecting opponent. His wings are the main thing that keep him out of danger, as AQ's flying skills are impressive. He can go at speeds of up to 360 miles per hour without too much effort, and can get to 500 miles per hour or more when pushing himself. Easily capable of complicated aerial maneuvers, AQ prefers to keep his opponents far from him and out of attack range when he can. His eyesight is supreme, and AQ can spot details on a person that most other people might miss. His eyesight is especially useful in suspicious situations, as AQ can spot the hints of a concealed weapon with ease.
Does your character have any purpose? (It's okay if you don't have this fully figured out yet, but all the better if your character does have an agenda or some sort of driving force to it to make it interact with other characters.)
> There is never any real agenda on AQ's mind. He enjoys traveling the world more than anything, living lavishly and finding a beautiful girl he can keep close for a couple weeks or so. After a period of time, he'll just move on to another place to find something else that suits his tastes, and often many of the "friends" that AQ had made in any once place eventually become little more than fleeting memories in his mind.
Does your character have an image? You can post it here, if so (as long as you follow the rules mentioned in the character guidelines). If not, please write a description of your character's appearance.
>
Will you be around to play your character regularly? (i.e. Keeping daily tabs on any threads you involve yourself in, and posting whenever it's your turn?)
> Yes!
Do you live in or near the Americas, or elsewhere? (It may be difficult for you to participate in any of the fast-moving sessions if you're only online when the rest of the group is asleep, so we ask this just to be aware of any potential problems.)
> I do!
Are you okay with having your character information and image on this website (such as on the wiki)?
> Of course!
What is your name? (Don't post your last name! This forum isn't private!)
> Kareem. Like the basketball player.
Lastly, by submitting the above, you acknowledge your understanding of the following:
1. Even though we want things to be as friendly as possible here, this is a character review process. This involves critique, which is intended to highlight and iron out any possible problems in character profiles. (In other words, it doesn't mean we don't like you or your character if we point out issues, so chill, and don't get too worked up about imaginary cartoon characters on the internet.
2. This is not a chat RP! This is a forum-based RP, as it says everywhere from the splash page, to the front page, to right under the logo of the page you're viewing now. Chat participation is still largely required to be a communicative and effective member of the community, however.
3. You have at least looked at the rules. You have at least looked at the main page and know that you are signing for an RP, and know what role-playing is. If you are unclear on anything, ask questions before you submit. Please. Please.
I acknowledge all this. Let the overview process begin!
