Making a bioA bio is a form you are required to fill in and have approved before starting out an RP. Below, you'll find a lot of information, sectioned into three pieces. The first will showcase information on each part of the form in detail. The second will show an example of a fictional level 1 character. The third will show an example of a fictional level 10 character.
Important note: A slice of life character is possible. In such a case, the form of your bio is entirely up to you, but you won't be able to enter combat unless your bio adheres to the bio template stipulated underneath.
ExplanationHere, you will find an explanation about what everything in your bio means and why it is there. Some of these sections include a hyperlink on the text that will refer you to a thread where you can find more information on the specific subject.
