Please read all the rules before asking questions.

General Chat room Rules

3. Fan characters are allowed, within limits. Nothing Sonic, nothing Pokemon, nothing shit.
4. Full sentence, paragraph-style RP only.
5. Avoid taking your RP to a separate room.

Keep in mind, even after being accepted as a member, Henchmen and above still have the right to ban/kick as they see fit.

Character Posting!

All users that wish to roleplay in this chat room are required to post their character's profile in the comments section below, using the sheet listed in this journal. As mentioned, only completely filled, OhYesRp-style sheets will be accepted

Character profiles should contain the following fields:

Stamp of Agreement: ( Please include a :thumbsup: [ : thumbsup : without spaces.] at the top of your character profile as a sign that you have read and understood the rules.)

Name: ( You can also include name origins, aliases, pronunciations, and nicknames.)

Age: ( May also include birth date. Please avoid 100+ year old characters that look seventeen.)

Gender: ( Should the character's gender deviates from the traditional 'male/female', please explain here.)

Race: ( If your character is of a made up race, please explain in detail here. If your character is of an ambiguous race [Fantasy races that vary from universe to universe, like vampires, elves, etc], also include details.)

Weapon: ( Not required. Also includes any powers/magic the character may wield. Please describe the weapons, powers, and fighting styles in this space. Try to keep the weapons balanced. Note: Weapons are not required.  In addition, weapon and/or power-based flaws may go either here or in the Weakness section, either section will work.)

Appearance: ( A detailed written description is required. A good way to do this is to start explaining the character from top to bottom. What is their build, their height, weight, and their skin colour? What colour is their hair, what style, what colour are their eyes? Any specific facial features? Any scars, tattoos, markings, piercings? What kind of clothes do they wear? Are they even humanoid to begin with? If they have another form, what does that form look like? Be detailed, as the ability to have a solid internal picture of your character gets you far in OhYesRP.)

Personality: ( Describe their personality in the best way you can. How do they view the world? Are they a pessimist, an optimist, a realist? How would they act around different types of people? In different situations? What are their personal goals and aspirations? What are their likes and dislikes? Hobbies? How do they get along with the opposite sex? With the same sex? Include personality flaws here, not in the Weakness section.)

Strengths: ( What does your character excel at? Are they good at long range combat? Melee? Can they mix a poison quick as a flash? Don't stop at combat strengths; what are their intellectual strengths? Can they cook, draw, sail? What skills do they have that are above average? Think of it as writing a resume for your character, in a way. Skills, talents, qualifications, etc. If your character wields a weapon, what are their strengths in regards to that? What particular types of powers/styles do they use best?)

Weaknesses: ( Physical flaws [Low stamina, bad eyesight, lack of melee combat skills], emotional flaws [Triggers that hinder their fighting skills, for example] and mental weaknesses [Bad at math, can't think well under pressure, etc]. How would one go about defeating this character in a battle? What are their shortcomings? Do they have a 'kryptonite'? Please place personality flaws [IE: Running their mouth and placing themselves in trouble] in the Personality section, not here. In addition, weapon and/or power-based flaws may go either here or in the Weapon section, either section will work.)

History: ( This part has to be detailed, and tie up the rest of the profile! A good place to start is from the beginning, of course. What were the circumstances for your character's birth? What were your character's parents like? If they weren't born, how were they created/brought into being? What was their childhood like? Any significant events, people, places? What events shaped them into the person they are today? How did they gain their powers, their quirks, their key personality points? All up until the present. Profiles with no memory of the character's history will not be accepted.)

Sample Post: ( A sample of your writing. It can be a pre-made role playing post you've typed up, a post from an already existing RP, or a sample of a story you've written. It doesn't even have to be about the character you posted. This is just to prove that you have the English skills to keep up with most of the users in OhYesRP. As with the rest of the form, this is mandatory. Poetry, script-style excerpts, monologues, soliloquies, fan-fictions and posts composed entirely of dialogue will not be accepted as a sample posts.)

Some Notes on Character Posting.

- Please try to keep the comment body organized and legible, i.e: use paragraphs, and the bold/underline/italics HTML if you are able to. If you don't know how to use these, feel free to ask. It helps us in reviewing your character sheet, and it just looks nicer.

- Character profiles are judged on spelling, grammar, punctuation, completeness, depth, believability, playability, creativity and originality.

- Once you are done filling in the character sheet, inform the Henchmen in the room, and we will review and critique your profile post. This process may take a while, and we ask that you be patient until the verdict is reached.

For your convenience, you may copy and past the following blank form into the comments section:

The Stamp: :thumbsup:
Name: Joy T'zure

Species: Zæ'clan
Race: Snow Leopard
Note: Currently an Android, see history

Gender: Female

Birth Age: 23 standard years
Birthday: August 18th, 2563
Transfer Age: 6 standard months
Transfer Date: August 19th, 2586

Default Appearance: About 5'5", she retains the looks she had with her biological body. Fit, her curves are in proportion with the rest of her body. She has no scars, nor can she acquire them. Her fur is a darker bluish gray than is normal, and her tail is extremely fluffy. To the touch, her fur is silky. Hair is an unusual silver-streaked black for a T'zure, matched by her silver eyes.

History: Orphaned in her early teens, Joy bounced from family member to family member before striking out on her own at the age of 17. Working as a waitress at a local restaurant, she tried to live a relatively normal life in the United Earth Republics... 'Til one day she passed out in mid sentence while taking a regular's order. More embarrassed than anything, she tried to keep going as though nothing happened. Then she passed out again... and again... and finally she had to acknowledge something was wrong. Talking to a her doctor, she ended up seeing a neurologist... who then diagnosed her with a rare autoimmune disorder. So rare that even the advanced nanotechnology of the time couldn't repair the damage. She left the hospital with less than a month to live... till a miracle of compassion. One of her regulars happened to be the head of a cybernetics corporation... and offered her the first of the new "Synthetic Intelligence" units to replace her current body. The only stipulation being that she actually make something of her life rather than being a waitress, she jumped on the opportunity. She signed the papers, and then lived out the rest of the time she had in her biological body with periodic visits to prepare the neurotemplate for the SI unit. She died one day after her 23rd birthday at 3 in the morning... and was reborn 30 seconds later in her new cybernetic body. It mimicked her original body so well, she couldn't tell she switched at first.
The first month she spent getting used to all the new features the body came with, notably a heads up display and limited shape-shifting capabilities. After that, she fulfilled her part of the agreement, and is now enrolled in the local university for a journalism major.

Personality: Shy in social situations, she tends to be a quiet recluse when she can. Reading and writing are her passions, even after her "death." With friends, she's quietly outspoken, far from submissive, but quiet enough that some of her friends don't realize that... until she very politely tells them where they can stick their heads.

Weakness: Considering the intricacies of her new body, she can be killed by most standard physical weaknesses though it'll take considerable more effort. Poisons, powdered glass, and more subtle methods of killing have no effect. Electricity and EMPs are her prime weakness. She must still sleep every day, and can only shape-shift when in her sleep-state. She can never alter the color of her eyes, leaving her with a piercing silver stare that can frighten off people without intending to (especially when upset).

Abilities: Limited shape-shifting; she can alter her fur color and pattern, though her titanium alloy skeleton can't be altered too much. Her advanced heads up display gives her photographic memory, and can be altered to give her other situational awareness advantages. She can also alter the sensitivity of her sight and hearing at will, though she usually ends up feeling severe vertigo is she screws with it too much. Her strength is also 2-3 times that of what would be expected of someone her size, though she has governors set to keep it at normal levels usually.

Example Post: He sat in a corner of the civilian lounge, sipping a cup of water while he waited in the utilitarian space. Long tables dominated the center of the room, with smaller round tables surrounded them. No windows (The whole Space elevator is like that), instead external cameras and holographic viewscreens served teh same purpose. One of these view-screens nearby showed a breathtaking shot of the planet Earth below, and seems to have his attention. His ears swivel from place to place to catch as much as he can about "that 'clan pilot." Having heard mostly good word-of-mouth, he allowed himself a smile and muttered under his breath, "Might get a client soon... as long as it's not the UER again." He looked away from the screen and glanced around the room with his ice blue eyes, his hope to get a new contract evident in the way his tail twitched.
