[YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME IN ALL CAPS] by [Your Name Capitalized Normally]

LIKES: [If you really wanna do it del Toro style, cram in as much info as possible, including your character's favorite foods and music. Dude would write up over two hundred words' worth of interests.]

DISLIKES: [The Dislikes don't usually run as long as the Likes, but he could easily write over a hundred words' worth.]
