Your character should hopefully start out relatively simple, providing more questions than answers at this point. No playing mysterious, though; that should happen on its own. Like I said before, I don't even want YOU to know everything about your character when you make them. It's a lot more fun when you watch how your creation deals with the situations I give it, and how it develops along the way. If you know everything, the fun is only in the challenge, which there won't be much of anyway, due to the way that I conduct things.
Anyways. Model it after the following (copy and paste if you feel the need):
----------------------------
Name:
Gender:
Occupation:
Appearance:
History:
----------------------------
To break it down;
Name is fairly self-explanatory. That's a pun, if you think about it. At least as much as I do, in any case.
Gender as well. I would highly prefer that you use your own real life gender for this. I find that crossing that line can make things fairly awkward and frankly I don't think a boy can accurately portray a girl unless they've trained under Shakespeare. It's nigh-impossible when one is improvising, especially. Same goes for girls portraying boys, although I cannot imagine why one would choose to do that. No offense intended; after all, I'm male.
As for occupation, it has already been decided that every character works for The Agency. So what I'm asking for here is a specific job. Is your character a secretary? Are they an investigator? Are they just a security guard, a supervisor, or a desk jockey? Maybe an intern? There's probably more jobs than just those ones, so feel free to make something up. Don't think about it too much, just pick something. Or I could pick for you, if you like.
Under appearance, I would like you to include a description of your character. Duh. The catch is, don't go overboard. It's fun and all to have unusually colored hair and eyes, but if you want your character to be unique, let them express it by the choices they make. I mean, don't be counterintuitive, just-- nevermind. Anyway, in this world, it's likely that everyone looks similar due to certain policies and such. It's dystopian, you see. So try to keep it down to eye color, hair color and style, and perhaps posture and face shape or something. Like I said though, nothing too eccentric. It should only be enough for someone reading your posts to be able to picture your character in their various situations. Speaking of which, no pictures. You know how pictures ruin things. Like how Robert Pattinson ruined Edward, who we all thought couldn't possibly be worse in the first place until he came traipsing on to the screen. Besides, I don't think there's really anything on the internet that would truly match the theme of this stuff.
Last of all, History. Leave this one blank when you start your character, but fill it in as we go along. I think I've made my point, but it's better not to know anything about them when you've only just made them up. Things will be revealed down the road naturally, so just relax. It will be good.
Let a thing without form be poured into a mold, suddenly exposed, and baked until it becomes hard and shiny.
Metaphorically.
Oh, and really, just one per person please. I have school on weekdays.
