Welcome to Domhan!

To start, here are some links to things that might be helpful to you in creating your character.

LINKS COMING SOON

Now here are some Do's and Dont's when it comes to character creating. We'll start with the Dont's.

Don't...
...Create a new Race for Domhan
...Create a new Major City
...Create a new type of beast to ride
+--Remember that beasts such as dragons have set subspecies. Others such as gryphons we are very lenient on.
++----For all that above if you really want to create something, please talk with an Admin FIRST!!
...Create a City Sage without permission from a Mod or Admin
...Role-playing a character before their profile posted and/or approved by a Mod
...Create a Mary Sue/Gary Stu (Oh Great Mother NO!)
MORE COMING SOON!

Do...
...Be creative with your character
...Be as descriptive as possible
...Be ORIGINAL!
+--We don't like seeing characters from anime here thank you!
MORE COMING SOON!

When naming the character thread, please be sure to do characters like this: Character Name | Rank or Occupation | Gender

When naming a thread for a beast (mount) please be sure to do it like this: Beast | Subspecies | Name

~There is a Four character starting limit! You can look Here for details on character numbers. Remember! that if you don't use a character you create you will be required to kill them off!

If you Click Here there is a list of physical traits based off of where a person lives or descends from. This can be quite helpful when creating a character.

And just for fun here is a link to a mary sue test. This is mainly here for fun, but if you want to take it to see if your character goes under the mary sue standards go ahead. Just don't get mad at us for posthing this Link

You can also find others by using search engines.

Also, just as a sort of suggestion - Not all of your characters have to have tragic, or even interesting histories. In fact making characters with overly tragic pasts and who are deeply affected by it with thoughts of revenge or something of the sort tend to get a bit annoying after a while. Overly anti-social characters are the same way since other people have a hard time RPing with characters like that.

Here is a template for characters! If your character is not a rider then just ignore certain parts below!

While there is no official word count minimum for profiles we do require that you put effort into it. Fill out each section with complete sentences. The more work you put into a character the more likely you'll have an easier time playing them and the more likely people will want to role-play with you and your character.

Also we suggest linking to your character profiles in your signature. It makes it easy for everyone to know more about the character if they want.

A template for beast characters as well. Remember all beasts MUST have a rider partner. You CAN NOT create a dragon of abnormal size for their species without permission from an admin

When naming a thread for a beast (mount) please be sure to do it like this:
Beast | Subspecies | Name

~..::Character Profile Examples::..~
These are examples, both good and bad, for character profiles .We aren’t posting this up to insult or personally attack anyone. This is here to help everyone learn what we expect for character profiles.

.:Overall Examples:.

~Good Example~
Username: Marvealle
Character Number: 1st
Name: Kieron Nioclas
Age: 17
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Appearance: Kieron can easily be described as looking like most people from the Swamp City do. To start, he is sickeningly pale and has never once shown he is capable of obtaining even the lightest of tans. Because of his pale skin tone, he appears to have constant bags under his eyes, making him either look really tired or really sick.

His hair is dark and is pitch black. His hair appears dull and seems to lack most of the sheen black hair tends to contain. He wears it at medium length most of the time, allowing it to grow out so the messy locks just barely touch his shoulders, while he keeps his bangs and the hair around his face cut shorter so they don’t get in the way. His eyes, as to be expected, are very dark but aren’t quite black. They are actually a very dark brown color that would match the black color of his hair if it was even darker.

Height wise, Kieron is actually a little below what is considered average height for a full grown male, putting him at just a little less than five feet and five inches tall. He doesn’t mind this though. He isn’t too much shorter than other people, and if he is he doesn’t care. Of course, Kieron is thin and wiry in his appearance, looking as if he doesn’t eat much of anything most days.

Kieron prefers simple, grey and brown clothes rather than colorful clothing, and most of his clothes don’t have any fancy bordering or anything. Simple pants and shirts are his thing with the occasional vest and belt.

Personality: To start, Kieron acts how he appears. He isn’t very excitable usually, and keeps a level head about things. Overall he isn’t one to draw a lot of attention to himself with his actions, and doesn’t mind blending into the crowd.

To go into detail, Kieron is a person who doesn’t hide anything about him. With this young man, what you see is what you get, but because of the calm, sometimes bored nature of his, not many people seem to be threatened by this at all. Of course, there are those that may be threatened, but Kieron rarely takes notice of such people.

Kieron likes to think things over before he acts, and he’s a quiet thinker at that. Those who know him can tell when he’s thinking about something, since his expression slightly changes into a frown. In fact, those who may notice this expression change might find even this wiry lad a bit intimidating, due to the frown and serious expression he adopt when thinking about something critically.

Since Kieron is the type of person that what you see is what you get, there isn’t a whole lot to say about him. He’s calm and thinks things over and doesn’t seem to be excited by much, so he can appear to be a rather boring person.

Birth City: Plains City
City: Sun City - Candidate Complex
Occupation: Candidate
Pet(s): None
Suggested Beast: [Candidates only. An admin or mod will select this upon character approval]
Desired Beast: Gryphon
Beast: None Yet
Rank/Secondary Occupation: N/A

Bio: Kieron is one of many Candidates to come from the large Plains City. It was there he was born, both of his parents were simply shop workers and nothing special. Because of this it is safe to assume that he too lived the life of a simple worker in the Plains City. He spent nearly all of his time doing various chores around the shop his parents worked at, helping them with anything he could, especially since he was an only child.

It is probably because of his boring and uneventful life that Kieron is rather plain and fine with blending in. He spent nearly his entire life blending in with the others, doing what he was told without a fuss, so that would explain why he is the way he is.

No one ever expected that Kieron would be destined for greatness. He never showed any knack for a craft, and not many people showed interesting in him. So, when a Beast Rider and his Beast suggested he go through the Selection Test for Candidacy, everyone was shocked. It seemed the lad had what it takes to stand as a candidate at least and passed the Selection Test. So, long story short, as any lad his age would do, Kieron accepted the offer as his parents, reluctantly of course, allowed their son to go off to the Sun City’s Candidate Complex, hoping to see him as a Beast Rider someday.

~Bad Example~
Username: Marvealle
Character Number: 1st
Name: Kieron Nioclas
Age: 17
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Appearance: Kieron is sickeningly pale, appearing almost sickly with bags under his eyes. His hair is black and dull. His eyes are a dark brown that would be considered black if they were any darker. He is a bit shorter than average height for his age and is skinny.

Personality: He is calm and quiet. Not much seems to excite him so he seems boring to most people. He doesn’t raise his voice often. He thinks things through before doing them too. When he thinks he gets a serious expression that is usually only noticed by people who know him well.

Birth City: Plains City
City: Sun City - Candidate Complex
Occupation: Candidate
Pet(s): None
Suggested Beast: [Candidates only. An admin or mod will select this upon character approval]
Desired Beast: Gryphon
Beast: None Yet
Rank/Secondary Occupation: N/A

Bio: Kieron is one of many Candidates to come from the large Plains City. It was there he was born, both of his parents were simply shop workers and nothing special. He lived a boring life for a while until taking the Selection Test and passing and moving to the Sun City.
