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?
> "Nicki the Cat"
Species?
> Feline - Cat
Age?
> 22
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.)
> Nicki is obsessive with being rich and having more than enough rings to buy anything she could ever want in life. She works as a treasure hunter and has a special interest in the chaos emeralds, knowing how many rings they can fetch. She is very proud of her skills, but not big-headed, however, she will work as a treasure hunter for hire. She also has no problem with doing dirty work either, as long as it has a good price.
She can be very alluring at times, usually quite patronising, and most of the time, lone. She does, have a few morales hidden behind all the other layers of personality. However with these, when there are no rings in the question, she usually acts for the good of things. For things to go a good and just way. For example, if Eggman was to attempt taking over again, she would, whilst not establishing herself with any groups, fight against him. However, she could very easily be bribed not to.
Her history is kept very discreet. There is something slightly un-nerving about Nicki that she simply does not discuss. If any other characthers were to mention her origins, she would simply try to change topic. It is certaintly not one that she wishes to share.
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.
> Being a cat, she's naturally agile, being good on her feet at out-maneuvering others, and climbing. She also has quite sharp claws which is her main basis of attack. For self-defense, she's armed with a low-grade pistol. She rarely makes use of this, it's more there just to be used to point and threaten. In fact, it's only ever loaded with one clip, perhaps again, an infliction of her morales. And even with this, it doesn't pack that much of a punch. It could barely injure, let alone kill.
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.)
> As mentioned before, her action's are driven mainly by rings, but, when not in any chance of a pay-out, she will simply act for the good of others.
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.
> Nicki stands at about 5"9, her fur of a dark grey almost verging on black, which is, although thin, finely combed and soft looking. There is a patch on her chest of light greyness, a metallic colour, that trails down below her pants. Her whiskers have been allowed to grow and stem out quite a way, painted on the tip with some kind of golden make-up. This same golden paint can be seen on her claws, which makes them shimmer and glisten. Her paws, are actually, quite noticably large. Her body is of normal proportions, curving where it should, giving her a femine, quite flirty disposition. Her eyes are quite small, and the iris' of a light silver colour. Her fangs, when showing, look rather sharp, like fine spikes. She is clothed by a red bikini top and loose bague pants, held up by a dark brown material, of which her pistol rests in. Her boots come up over the pants. They are black and look to be of some worth, but have been caped in dried dirt. Covering all of this, she wears a cape and hood combination, of some black waterproof material, though she is not always seen wearing this. Her head fur is straightened, reaching her shoulders, and the top is covered by a dusty brown cowboy hat.
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?)
> I spend most of my time in front of the laptop and am no stranger to the refresh button. If I get tied up in a good RP I can spend most of my day, and night, online
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 am British, meaning most happens during the night for me. I am no stranger to a late night/early morning though, but obviously cannot do this all the time, only when tied up in an RP.
Are you okay with having your character information and image on this website (such as on the wiki)?
> Yes! ^^
What is your name? (This question isn't optional. We need something to call you by that isn't your character's name. Don't post your last name, though! This forum isn't private.)
> Nicki
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.
All clear? Capiche? Alright. Let's go.
