I’m finally putting together a damn character page and I’m putting this here for easy access and easy formatting BUT HEY, if you like it, you can use it for your characters too! : D Feel free to add to it, or take things away, I just combined several bio elements I’ve seen over the years. :>
Anything in (italics and parentheses) you can delete if you copy + paste this
You can replace the ◘ around the OC Name / OC’s Profession title with any symbol or emoji you feel represents your character
Helpful acronyms:
N/A = Not Available, Not Applicable, No Answer
TBD = To Be Determined
TBA = To Be Announced
◘ OC Name / OC’s Profession ◘
(profession is mainly in reference to GW2 professions, but you can put any profession you want, or any title that fits your character/what they do, i.e. chef, wizard, doctor, etc)
Posts with (OC Name) (include a hyperlink to your OC’s tag on your blog if you so desire)

-phrases “the dad friend” “edgy and unpredictable” “lost puppy” “weird uncle” “the important thing is that they tried” “scared but wants to help”
