CHARACTER GUIDELINES
--------------------- ✄---------------------

► Rules_{All characters must follow the guidelines stated below.
• All characters must be between age 8 to 60
• Please do not submit the typical character with the severly traumatizing background. It doesn't necessarily require a sob story to make a character interesting!
• Powers should go with your animal. For example, an elephant should not have super speed and a bird should not have extremely high defense. Keep in mind that the directors' powers will be significantly greater than regular animals' powers.}

► Dress Code
_{Please keep the appropriate dress code in mind for each faction. Dress code only applies to the normal oufit (the one that your character wears most frequently). All characters may have up to two casual outfits.

★ Oumagadoki Zoo: Street Style/Casual
☆ Ushimitsudoki Aquarium: Semi-Formal (suits and dresses)
★ Yatsudoki Circus: Circus Attire}

► Character Skeleton
_{Please use the following skeleton when building your character:
Name: (first name only)
Gender:
Animal:
Age:
Height:
Faction:
Job: (how does he/she contribute to his/her faction?)

Personality: (at least three sentences)

Likes and Dislikes: (at least 3 bullets for each)

Power(s): (Powers sound be relative to your animal. For example, it would make sense for a cheetah to have an agility boost, but it wouldn't make sense if you gave it the ability to fly. Elemental are a little tricky! "Summoning thunder storms" won't do, but an aquatic animal may shoot streams of water, and heavy terrestrial animals may call upon small earthquakes. Again, do some research on your animal and relate its power! Please keep away from things like power swapping, mind controlling (the only exception are snakes/vipers), and the ability to control blood, etc. If you're unsure about a power, please ask!) All powers should have a weakness.

Biography: (how did your character end up joining his/her faction? If you would like to incorporate your faction leader into your story, make sure to ask for permission first!)

Additional Information + Relationships: (optional)}

► Filling out the App Sheet
_{Please download the application sheet from the "Resource" folder of the group and use the appropriate faction sheet. The visual application must include a fully colored 3/4 body to full body reference of your character. Feel free to add additional components such as side views, casual clothing, and accessories, but keep in mind that all of the additions should look completed and not left as a sketch.}
