To Be a Hero, Signup & OOC

[Jiggy]

The Plot:
Many yearn for adventure, be it for fame, fortune, romance, or revenge. Few survive the countless trials that lie outside the city walls, but those that have lived long enough to see their ambitions bear fruit now stand as our greatest heroes...or our most dangerous evils. What dreams will you chase? For whom will you fight?
What kind of hero are you?

Getting Started:
Will you venture forth? To begin your journey, fill out the character template below and post your information here to be approved by me or a co-host. You may use this thread as the means to communicate with other people out-of-character, be it for coordinating a story arc, or for joining a party.

Rules:

• Please be respectful and courteous to your fellow role-players. If you have a problem with someone, please keep it private, and out of this thread. RP-related issues, however, are welcome as long as they are discussed politely.
• All characters start off as Novices with nothing but a knife and the clothes on their backs, no exceptions.
• There is a two character limit. Only if someone is proven to be capable of handling both characters on a consistent basis will they be allowed to take on an additional character.
• For the sake of storytelling, there's no real need to get technical about your stats. As for skills, though I'm sure that saying so is redundant, assume that they're like skills in real life and must be trained, rather than having points thrown into them.
• There is no Novice training ground. Instead, you'll start out in the town of your choosing to prepare for your adventure. Starting in the town that offers the job class you intend to become is discouraged, but not forbidden. You can also plan ahead and start in the same town with other characters for a richer role-playing experience.
• Do not make your character over-powered. I will warn you if your character seems to take no harm in battle or can wipe their enemies away with a single attack.
• Do not control someone else's character in your posts. In other words, if your character's actions would cause or require someone else's to react in some way, please discuss it with that character's creator to get their approval before you post.
• Lastly, please try to make each post in the actual RP thread at least one paragraph long. It's rather discouraging for some people to spend a lot of time and effort forming a grand post, only for its response to be, "Samantha accepts the handshake."
  

Character Template

Quote:

• Name:
• Age:
• Appearance: (Picture and/or description)
• Alignment: (i.e. Lawful Good, Chaotic Evil, etc.)
• Personality: (How your character thinks and responds. Be as in depth as possible, as other players will need to get a good understanding of your character if they plan to interact with them.)
• Hometown: (e.g. Izlude, Prontera, Geffen, etc.)
• History: (Even if your character is starting as a Novice, they still had a life up to this point. Who are they? Why do they behave the way they do? The more descriptive, the better.)
• Class: (It's good to know what class you intend your character to be beforehand.)
• Party: (If you're going to be in a party with someone else, what will your group be called? Once a party has enough members and they get their hands on an Emperium, they have the right to be called a guild.)
• Equipment/inventory: (To be kept up to date at the discretion of the character's creator.)
• Color: (The color of your character's dialogue text, so it will be easier to distinguish between characters.)
