Character's Description
This should include exactly what you would intend for your description for your character. This is what people see when they look at you. Feel free to provide more than one description, in combat attire, casual attire, et cetera. Note that you can of course have more descriptions for your character than the ones you submit, but you should submit at least one. If you have a shapeshifter, submit a few descriptions. This is important as the game is text based, and therefore how able you are to describe things is important to the game.

A note about descriptions: A good description will evoke a response in the reader without the reader being told what sort of response they should have to the description. In other words, don't tell someone what they feel or think when looking at your character, but rather evoke this response by describing the things in the character that would inspire those feelings. You also have to be sure to keep OOC knowledge out of your description. If you have a bag, for example, another player wouldn't know what was in it.

We will not allow people to use the words attractive, beautiful, pretty, handsome, or the like, in their descriptions. These are wholly judgmental and entirely in the eye of the beholder. All of these things should be role-played and/or evoked from a well-written description.

If you have aspects of your character that you can't think where else to put, this is a perfectly acceptable place. For example, physical aspects that are not part of the psyche nor exactly powers can be placed here.
