| Greetings, This is going to be a guide for how to write a character sheet... thing... that will be posted in this section. Now, to begin.
NAME: Duh. DESCRIPTION: Describe your character. What they wear, what they look like, what weapon they use(If any), etc. CONCEPT: What the general idea behind your character is (Slow Hard-Hitter, Fast Poker, Grappler, etc.) BACKSTORY?: Any backstory or general goal your character wishes to achieve
BASIC ATTACKS: Light Punch Light Kick Heavy Punch Heavy Kick
Under Light Punch, Light Kick etc You describe what your character's basic attacks are. Light attacks should be very quick attacks, like Jabs or Side kicks. Heavy attacks should be something like Roundhouse Punches/Kicks. In general, Kicks should be slightly slower than punches.
Add what they would be for Jumping and Crouching attacks for bonus points.
COMMAND ATTACKS: These attacks are essentially more Basic attacks, however would require a small input to use. These are usually Overhead attacks(attacks that hit a crouch-blocking opponent), or delayed, stronger attack.
BASIC THROWS: These attacks are what your character does when grabbing someone up close to attack them. These can be over-the-shoulder throws, sleeper holds, suplexes, etc. They could even be a very strong punch, or a small combo, however, refrain from doing this if you don't have to. We like to keep our flashiness sprinkled across characters.
SPECIAL ATTACKS: These attacks are what usually define a character. These can range from a jumping uppercut, to throwing a fireball at someone, to having a special throw. Special throws are mostly reserved for Grabbing Characters, so please don't take one if you don't have to, as it would most likely screw up a character.
DESPERATION MOVES: These are your characters big guns, that your character uses in dire situations, or to simply look cool. These could be a Souped up version of a Special Attack, a super-cool attack that you thought up but was too powerful to be special attack, some inner power your character is tapping into, or something different entirely. Be very awesome in this section, but not -too- awesome.
Rival: Who you don't get along with on this forum (doesn't have to be serious disagreements, just enough that sparks fly on occasion).
Victory Poses and Sayings: What you do and say when you win a fight.
Edited by Maulkin for new rule: If you do not have at least 300 posts, you may not qualify to have a character in the game. Such members will be decided on a case by case basis.
...How do I sticky?

| You might have to push the + sign first to see it scroll down like I have it in the picture. It you don't have the options bar there at all, I don't know what to tell you. I'd sticky it for you to help you out, but I can't mod this section. _________________

Please see above. Edit the first post, look below the box with the post text, blah blah... etc. Veiw the spoiler I posted for a visual. If you can't see it under the message section, Maul forgot to give both of you the ability. In that case, it is a lost cause until he takes a look at this. _________________
