Character Biography Form
We're all here to have a good time and play characters we love. But please review the Character Creation board before you submit a character as we may have caps or restrictions on certain character traits and abilities. Furthermore, while having a self-insert can be fun, please don't stack your character to have unfair advantages over others (make them smarter than anyone who has ever lived, have all of the abilities, etc.). Being reasonable keeps things fun and balanced on OoM.
New characters are not allowed to be part of any canonical or site-canonical alliances. We have capped those. Do not add that in without explicit permission.
Please post the below code HERE as a new thread with your character's full name as the subject. If you need to save it to work on later, feel free to put "WIP" in the subject so we know it's a work-in-progress.
What We're Looking For
We have a shortlist of things that we'd really like to see on the site to round out some of our characters. You don't have to create any character that falls under these, but if you're stuck for what you want, perhaps this might help:
- Students of any age, orientation, etc.
- Halfbloods and Muggleborns
- Vampires
- Ministry workers in some of the lesser known departments.
- Squibs, if you want!
