These are some critiques of RP bios that I find myself giving repeatedly. I thought I would post some of them as sort of an FAQ for future references.
[APPEARANCE]
Images are great, but are considered secondary to a full text description. This way, in case the image fails to load, there is the text description on which to fall back.
Be as descriptive as possible. I want to be able to recognize your character from your description if s/he walked past me on the street.
[PERSONALITY]
Expand, expand, expand.
Think about the following questions:
-How is your character around friends?
-How is you character if alone and bored?
-How is s/he if insulted by someone larger than him/herself?
-if someone accidentally trips and spills a mug of water on you char, but apologizes after, how does your char react?
-What look does your char have on the following:
|-Killing the innocent.
|-Killing evildoers (bandits and the like).
|-Killing in self defense regardless of the person.
[SPEED]
An Olympic sprinter tops out at around 23 MPH.
[WEAPONS]
-Blades: How long is the blade?
-Bows: How many arrows does your character carry on them at any given time?
-Guns: How does your character reload? How much ammunition does your character carry on them at any given time?
[MAGIC]
-What is the energy drain for this spell?
-How much does the spell heal for?
-What is the size of the area the spell hits?
