- Use your OOC account to create a new topic in the New Characters forum: viewforum.php?f=20
- Give the topic the title "Firstname Lastname" where Firstname and Lastname are the first and last name of your character. For example "Joe Smith"
- Copy the code at the bottom of this post and fill out the form. Tip: fill out the form in an external editor like word, google docs, or something else to make sure you save your progress as you work on filling out the character sheet.
- Once you are done completing the form, post the topic! Moderators are subscribed to the New Characters forum and will receive an alert once a new topic is made there.
- If your character is approved, you will be sent a private message on the forum on your OOC account. This private message will give you the login details for your newly made in-character account. You should log into this account and change the password immediately by going to User Control Panel->Profile->Edit Account Settings
- If your character is not approved, a message will be left in your character sheet's topic which explains what changes need to be made before your character can be approved.
- Keep in mind that once your character is approved, the character sheet will be moved into the Approved Characters forum here: viewforum.php?f=21
- On your newly made character account go to User Control Panel->Profile->Edit Profile and fill out the "Character sheet" field with a URL linking to your character sheet. This way people can more easily find your character sheet.

[b]Name:[/b] Write the first and lastname of your character here. Example: Joe Smith.
[b]Age/DoB:[/b] Write the age and date of birth of your character here. Refer to the "timekeeping" section in the lorebook to read more about the seasons and how years are denominated. An example of a valid age and DoB is: 24, 1st of Malden 1001 NE
[b]Faceclaim:[/b] If your avatar/faceclaim is a real person, write their name here. If it is an AI image, simply state so. If it is a digital art image you can state that and/or credit the artist here.
[b]Appearance:[/b] Write a description of your character's appearance here. It's OK to be succinct, but don't just rely on your avatar/faceclaim. Try to think about what someone who has never met your character might first notice about them. And what is the second thing they'd notice? And the third?
[b]Personality:[/b] This is where you will want to put your best foot forward. Panthos is all about seeing complex, flawed characters grow and change, a lot of which hinges on their personality. Here are some example questions for you to think about. What do they like, what don't they like? What odd habits do they have? Do they have any cultural biases? What are they good at and why are they good at it? What makes them uncomfortable?
[b]Strengths:[/b] Write down at least 3 but no more than 5 strengths this character has.
[b]Weaknesses:[/b] Write down at least 3 weaknesses this character has.
[b]History:[/b] Write a bullet point list of core memories/events in this character's history. An overly simple example is shown below:
[list]
[*] 1005 N.E — Joe Smith was born.
[*] 1010 N.E — One time Joe Smith got his hand stuck in the cookie jar and was caught red-handed, he is still embarrassed about it until this very day, but this traumatic event hasn't cured him of his sweet tooth.
[*] 1015 N.E — When Joe Smith turned fifteen, he ate a whole birthday cake by himself.
[*] 1025 N.E — The present day. Joe Smith has become a baker of pastries.
[/list]
[b]Requested Aptitudes:[/b] in the list below add the number of points you wish to allocate in each aptitude. If your character is an adult, you may allocate 20 points in total. No aptitude may be below 0 and no aptitude may be above 8. If your character is a child, the same rules apply except you may only allocate 16 points in total. See the "Aptitudes" section in the lorebook for more information.
Be aware that this section will be edited out of your final character sheet when your character is approved and the points will be moved to your in-character account instead. Your aptitude points will be visible on your profile and mini-profile (the part of your profile, like your avatar, that shows next to each post you make). To prevent cheating, you cannot edit these numbers yourself from the User Control Panel.
[list]
[*] Physique - Allocate between 1 and 8 points
[*] Intelligence - Allocate between 1 and 8 points
[*] Charisma - Allocate between 1 and 8 points
[*] Spirit - Allocate between 1 and 8 points
[*] Agility - Allocate between 1 and 8 points
