In this thread you can find the required profile form to create your character, as well as the guidelines regarding them. If you need any help with your profile(s) then feel free to make use of our Information Section as needed. You're also welcome to ask for the aid of willing mods and board members too.

The following are the rules specifically regarding profiles and character submission. These rules only exist to provide consistency throughout the profiles and also to set some issues into stone when it comes to characters. These rules do not affect your character except where applicable, but must be followed before a profile is reviewed. The Profile Moderators as well as the Admin may ask you to change or remove things that are not listed in this collection of rules. That is a review, and has no connection to these rules. - NO pictures whatsoever. Save any drawings or pictures of your characters, their weapons, or outfits for the General Board or your avatar and signature. In this forum we use words to create images. We want to see your writing skills!
- Do not add fields to the profile form. Such as a field for nicknames, or a field for family, or a field for special kung fu. The standard profile form has areas for ALL of these to be included. Exceptions are made for: Pets/Animal Sidekicks/Dependent children or adults who will not be played full-time. These folks should should have a small mini profile located at the bottom. This should include Name, Physical Description and Personality. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
- Underline and Bold all the fields. The fields are Name, Age, Nation, etc., not what you're actually writing. Or better yet—when you go to look at the profile form—do you see that smaller box with the smaller text inside of it? That's the code you need. Just copy and paste that. Do not add any other coding. Everything should be plain text other than the profile form.
- RP Samples must be of your character. This is to ensure that you meet our quality standards and that you simply didn't copy and paste someone else's work. Also, it must be at least 150 words minimum, as stated in the Feng Shui Rules.
- Please reply to your profiles when you have modified them. We try to keep an eye on all the profiles to see if they have been modified, but sometimes we miss them. Please reply to your profile when you have modified it so that we are aware of the changes. If you do not, then we may simply overlook your profile by accident.
- Asian themed names whenever possible. Avatar is an Asian inspired world. Therefore we like to see Asian names primarily. Our definition of Asian refers to any traditional names originating from the Middle East all the way to Japan, Indonesia, and even Hawaii (excluding Russia). If you have a good Americas or other names that are uncommon or fitting, then please, try it by us. We just do not want characters named Sarah or Chris for example.
- Follow the genetic standards. Each group seems to have it's own genetic standards—and yes genetics can vary from person to person, but there are some absolutes. Water Tribe citizens have blue eyes, usually brown hair and have the darker skin tones compared to other nations. Fire Nation citizens have gold to brown eyes, often black hair and usually the lightest skin compared to other nations. Earth Kingdom citizens seem to be a mixture of skin tones and hair colors while limited to Brown or Green Eyes. If your character is a mix of nations, then please follow these establishments in regards to parentage. If a child has Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation heritage then they may have the pale skin and dark hair seemingly inherit in the Fire Nation but green eyes of the Earth Kingdom.
- Bending abilities must be specified. If your character is a bender, somewhere in your profile you MUST say what kind. Bending is limited to only one element and the element that belongs to the nation your character's parent(s) hailed from. A child of a Fire Nation citizen and a Water Tribe citizen may bend either fire or water. If both parents hail from the United Republic, then you must bend an element from their grandparents or possibly great-grandparents or whatever generation was born in one of the 3 main nations prior to the United Republic. No one may play an Air Bender unless they are a canon descendant of Aang.
- Do not post in someone else's profile. You may certainly read their profile and discuss it in the c-box or somewhere else. Only Profile Moderators, the creator and the Admin are allowed to post in profiles.
- Please do not bump profiles until 3 days have passed. The staff all lead lives outside the forum and away from the computer, sometimes we can not get to a profile right away or sometimes we just are not in the mood to review. If a profile has not been review within 3 days of it being posted or 3 days of the last review, please go ahead and bump it. However, please be understanding of our needs to rest our brains and fingers. Carpal tunnel isn't fun.
- Please reply to your profiles. If you have a profile that needs to be moved from the unfinished characters section or feel that your profile hasn't been reviewed in a reasonable amount of time (3 days is our rule), please reply to it and say so.
