Guide for Creating Characters
Firstly, read the opening post of the story thread so you can get an idea of what kind of world you're entering. After reading that you should understand that there are two kinds of characters in this story. Homeworlders, the residents of Sedorra, and Outworlders, those that have simply 'appeared' into Sedorra with no real knowledge of how it happened.

You can create more than one character, however we would ask that you do not create more than two Outworlders unless you also create Homeworlders (so as to provide a good balance for the storyline). Homeworlders are Human, Ursus, Doban and Akim. Outworlders are of any race you can imagine (so long as they are not overpowered), including races essentially identical to those on Sedorra.

A rather important note for Outworlders: You will arrive into Sedorra with whatever you are wearing and, notably, whatever you are carrying (this can not be too overpowered). This can include things like weapons, gadgets and tools. While it can not include something as big as a vehicle, it can, for the sake of potential storytelling, include another person. This is the only way for two people of the same world to enter this world... for them to be hand in hand.

Once you've created your character, wait for a GM to approve it before making official posts in the story thread.

Templates
Here's a couple of templates to follow depending on whether your character is a resident of the host world (Homeworlder) or someone from another world (Outworlder).

For Homeworlders...
NAME: Obvious!
RACE: Your character's race. Current races in this world: Human... and that's it for now. Watch this space!
GENDER: Obvious!
AGE: Obvious! Assume we're dealing with Earthlike years.
JOB/ROLE: Any job or role your character has in the world eg. Bard, Hunter, Soldier, Engineer, Thief, Teacher, etc.
SKILLS/ABILITIES: Good singer? Pickpocketer? Cook? Proficient chocobo rider? Make what you will of this one!
WEAPON(S): What they tend to carry and how good they are at using weapons.
APPEARANCE: Tell us what they look like.
PERSONALITY: Tell us about their personality.
BACKGROUND: Tell us about their past.

For Outworlders...
NAME: Obvious!
ORIGIN: Any details about the original world your character lived in. What is it called? Is it high tech? Low tech? Is there magic? Stuff like that.
RACE: Your character's race. Include a description if possible!
GENDER: Obvious!
AGE: Include their age and what the human equivalent age is.
JOB/ROLE: Any job or role your character had in their world eg. Hunter, Soldier, Bum, Scientiest, Mage, etc.
SKILLS/POWERS/ABILITIES: Expert in white magic? Gills? Ability to turn oneself into a gelatinous ooze? Good at ping pong? Put what you like in here!
WEAPON(S): What they tend to carry and how good they are at using weapons.
APPEARANCE: Tell us what they look like.
PERSONALITY: Tell us about their personality.
BACKGROUND: Tell us about their past. Remember, many Outworlders don't remember being in another world or only remember limited things. With this in mind, you don't have to have a detailed background for your character - it's up to you.
