Alright peeps, I've received a lot of feedback from you guys concerning the ModDB Adventure (name to be changed eventually) and I've received some characters as well! This is great and I'm looking forward to those of you who have also decided to participate! While you're still mulling over your character (or just procrastinating) I decided to create a form which would easily allow you create your character by asking some key questions. Click this link to create your character!
The reason I decided to do that was I wanted an easy way for you to be the creator of your character and to have an easy way for myself to see all of the characters created. This'll make it a lot easier for me when writing to look back and see what a specific likes/dislikes or strengths or hair color a particular character has. I mentioned this in the form, but you don't have to answer every question if you don't want to/have a good answer for it. You can leave things up to my discretion to add to your character.
Now something that hasn't really come up at all is the world name. I've had a few options from Salsa (Modover was one considering a lot of mods end up being over before being finished), but I would like a more fantasy oriented world name. I'm open to suggestions so put those thinking caps on! As of right now I think I have 3-4 character responses, two of which are full characters. If you're stuck on a character to create, but want to just populate the world with filler people/races/cities/nations, send me a PM and we can talk about what you have in mind! Having a full world will make for some interesting stories!
Alright, last thing. I'm planning on using this for NaNoWriMo this November which, if you don't know, I've done the last 3 years. It's National November Writing Month, the goal of which is to write 50k words within that month to "win". Now the difference this year is I'm going to be writing before November begins and not ending at the end of November. So it'll be part of that event but that'll mainly be to keep me on track to writing. More than likely, that month will be spent writing one or two story arc's with a few of the characters you guys have given me. That means the soonest there will be a combined storyline is November. Before then however, I plan on writing a few back story's for the characters provided. So the goal is to start with back story's in October and move onto story arc's in November using the cast of characters you have created.
I'm really looking forward to this guys, thanks for being a part of it with me!

Awesome! I was going to suggest we find a way to standardise the many different attributes a character can have, but your form seems to have taken care of that. ;)
As for my character I'm still procrastinating\trying to do assignments. :s
No worries! I suppose I should say that if you're going to choose skills for your character realize their never going to be able to use all of them at once. A mage with incredibly swordsmanship is practically speaking useless. There will be two people who do the same things he does, but far better since they concentrate on one or the other.
The very few exceptions would be things that enhance. Small magical protection maybe, or minor tricks.
Should I fill out the Character Creator as well, or did you do it for me with what I gave you? xD
Well since you had basically already done everything on there, I don't think you need to. This is more for others who are still putting characters together.
