Character Creation Warning Signs

READ THIS CAREFULLY:

--IF ONE OR TWO THINGS APPLY TO YOUR CHARACTER, OR A CHARACTER YOU ARE PLANNING, IT DOES NOT ABSOLUTELY MEAN THAT THEY ARE A POOR CHARACTER! DO NOT WORRY, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR PROFILE HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROVED!--

...On to the original post. : /

Keep in mind, if one or two things apply to your character...

DON'T PANIC

just keep in mind that they are warning signs.

So...

Warning Signs That Your Character May Not Be Approved or Work Out Like You Want Them To:

• You already know that you will need much more powerful gear.

• Your character is somehow related to an NPC.

• You character is somehow related to an NPC that leads a faction.

• Your character requires a certain weapon/mount/piece of armor/whatever before you can roleplay at all.

• Your character has declared war on more than one faction that you are NOT NORMALLY AT WAR WITH. (ie, an orc that is at war with Stormwind, no worries.)

• Your character is full-or-half any type of creature that is normally much more powerful than player characters.

• Your character hates everyone/almost everyone.

• Your character loves everyone/ almost everyone.

• You know that your character is the prettiest/most handsome (whatever race).

• You know that your character is the best (whatever class).

• You know your character isn't the best-looking or most talented, but you are sure they're in the top ten.

• Your character can control other characters (priest MC aside).

• You know right off the bat that your character will need something more than a hotel room, hut, or tent to occupy.

• Your character depends on always having another character (either NPC or player) around.

• Your character was created to be (insert other character here)'s significant other.

• Your character was created to be (insert other character here)'s significant other, and the other player does not know it.

• Your character has amnesia, and therefore you do not have to write a history.

• You intend for your character to be adored.

• You intend for your character to be hated.

• You intend for your character to be popular or at least well-known.

• The idea of your character being harmed bothers you.

• The idea of your character being maimed bothers you.

• The idea of your character being crippled bothers you.

• The idea of your character being killed bothers you. (Yes, that's a tough one, but I don't mean killed by godmoding, I mean suffering lethal damage in an RP situation and accepting it.)

• You don't mind your character being killed, because you can get resurrected quickly.

• You want your character to be killed, so they can come back as something more powerful.

• Your character depends on another character who you also play.

• You describe your character's personality as blank or nonreactive.

• Your character is very powerful or influential.

• Your character is very powerful or influential, and always has been.

• Your character is going to take over the world.

• Your character is going to save the world.

• Your character is going to destroy the world.

Feel free to give feedback and suggestions, and I'll add/modify the list as needed.

REMEMBER: If a few of these traits apply to your character, don't feel offended, just be aware of it and carefully consider your reasoning behind it.

This, of course, doesn't cover things that happen during RP, just your concepts when creating your character. If it turns out unintentionally that, whoops, your character leaned on that button and now Azeroth is a smoking wasteland, but you didn't set out with the intention of destroying the world, well... allright. (That's a HUGELY exaggerated example, of course.)
