This is the part we pay probably the closest attention to. This is the focus of the application - we want to see how well you understand your character. We want to understand your character, both flaws and good points, and we want to understand why the character would be a good addition to the game. Feel free to include as much detail as you'd like, flesh your character out. Particularly if you've used the informational link option for the History section, expand on how events in the character's life have affected them and changed them. While we don't want a dissertation-length essay, we really want a rounded and complete idea of WHO your character is, as a person.

Please keep in mind that your application is being judged on how well you understand your character and focus on your character rather than canonmates. Adding too much focus on canonmates will keep the app team from being certain that you'll know how to handle the character apart from those other characters - make sure that the core of your application is solely about your character, your character's motivations, and what makes your character tick. If canonmates are very important to your character, feel free to mention it, but don't make it the focus of the application.

If your character is an import from another game, the conditional section here is also very crucial. We want to understand what has changed about your character's personality based on their experiences in the previous game. We will be checking this section over very carefully to make sure that the character's basic personality traits are still similar to their canon self. While we do understand the massive amounts of development that can happen in roleplaying games, we want to make sure the character is still recognizable as themselves, and that the changes make sense. Be very clear.

Character Personality: We would like a solid, comprehensive explanation of your character's personality traits both good and bad. Please give us a good feel for what your character is like and what makes them who they are. This section is especially important if you've given a link for your character's history.

Conditional: Personality development in previous game: If you are bringing in your character from another game, please clarify what character development they've gone through in that game and how it's affected the character's personality.
