This code can be altered or added to in order to make it how you want. Just do not take out any of the areas that need to be covered, which are in the basic form. If you decide to change the topic names, make sure it relates to whatever topic it is. Don't be afraid to make it pretty or add pictures. Just don't stretch the page or drown out the relevant information with irrelevant things.
This is a role playing site. Show us your best writing for your profile; write in paragraphs, make it all flow. Don't just list things (except for the "extra information" and "proportions" sections; those are list-friendly areas), and you absolutely may not simply put in a picture instead of writing an appearance section.
Characters with backstories or any qualities that contradict Avalon's plot and setting (e.g. a character from the "Ruined Future" who can use magic, a Pokémorph from the Ice Age, a Digimon who was thrown into the world of Pokémon) will not be accepted until the contradictory elements are taken out.
Characters whose profiles do not supply sufficient detail about the character (e.g. the personality section just says "Billy is a nice kid who loves Pokémon" or the appearance is "Samantha is a pretty girl"), are self-contradicting (e.g. one section of the profile says the character loves Seviper, but the history has the character kicking a Seviper without any explanation as to how the character changed from a Seviper-kicker or why the character kicked that particular Seviper) or otherwise unrealistic/overpowered (e.g. a character who can run across an entire continent, punch meteors into the sun without getting injured and defeat any criminal all at the same time while still having time for a relaxing homemade lunch, or a character who, as a five-year-old, survived in the wilderness with vicious man-eating Pokémon for twenty years) will not be accepted.
If you feel that a staff member is being unfair in their critique of your profile, please tell an admin and we will see if a compromise of some sort can be reached. Staff members reserve the right to critique your profile, but you also have the right to object to it if you feel it is unfair. (The objection may not amount to anything if you cannot supply a counter-explanation to the staff member's claims, however.)

Easy-peasy.

Human, Pokémorph, Weremorph, Vampire, Hybrid, etc.

Height and weight as well as body type/shape if you don't want to put it in the regular appearance section. Do not simply write things like "never ask a lady her weight".
