Spring Cleaning Profile Drive! What is a Profile Drive?  A Profile Drive is an activity where we encourage players to create detailed character profiles for their Mycenians! It’s an activity that we occassionally host, and usually inspires the creation of quite a few new profiles. While we understand that everyone has their own preferred method of creating character profiles, there are certain criteria that must be met for your work to count for this activity. Our aim is to encourage a similar amount of effort among participants. Once the profile drive is complete, you are free to restructure and rewrite your Mycenians’ profiles in any way you see fit! Be sure to read the rules and guidelines carefully, and if you have any questions, you may either post them in this thread or echo Crow or Dove! Entry Guidelines: In order to qualify, profiles must contain at least three of the following sections: What does your character look like? Give a fairly detailed physical description of your character. This should be at least a paragraph in length - possibly even longer. You may utilize art in this section, but the art must be your own work, and must clearly be marked as such. Art by others, whether commissions or gifts, will not count towards this section’s completion.
Who is your character? Get into their head a little bit; describe who they are and how they think. What do they like? What repulses them? What are they afraid of? Really dig in there and expose some nerves. This section should be at least a couple of paragraphs long. A list of personality traits, likes/dislikes, etc. will not be considered sufficient for this section’s completion.
Share your character’s past, present, and (potentially) future! Detail how your character became the person they are today. This section will likely be the longest of all — there is no reason why a history section should be any less than several paragraphs long. Keep in mind that player knowledge does not equal character knowledge; if your character is not the type to share their history, or otherwise has some valid reason for having little to no history, you may share it as an omniscient narrator or perhaps choose a different character to participate in this activity with.
Who are the important figures in your character’s life? Friends, family, rivals, lovers, even places or objects; this section should describe the people and things close to your character. Each relationship should be described in some amount of detail — ideally, each should be at least a short paragraph in length. A list of links and simple statements of relation won’t cut it here. Your character must have at least three distinct relations in order for this section to count.
Rules:
Participation & Prizes: Each completed profile (up to 3 maximum per player) will count as one ticket in the Profile Drive raffle. At the end of the activity, we will be raffling off one Glowing Changingshroom per 30 unique participants, and one Bag of Wonders per 15 unique participants.

Got permission to advertise this sweet raffle/free design repository I’m hosting, in case anyone wants some free art to pretty up a profile. It’s only at 3 pets right now, but I had some people say they were participating, soooo <u < I also loudly welcome anyone to contribute, raffle or no! At this month’s end the prize is a fodder pet, and I know we all could use one of those. If you’re going to be drawing one of your pets anyways, why not consider making an entry? Raffle raffle raffle! ALSO, MY ENTRIES
Note, luft and pragma have untraditional section designations, but they should hit up the categories…appearance/personality/history for pragma, appearance/relationships/history for luft!

Probably a weird question, but I’d been planning to make “alternate”, new, secondary bios to add to some of my mains, depicting their characters as they are in a darker, AU-verse timeline. Would it be all right if I set down one of these as the initial test-case for the idea, and used it for one of my submissions here? (I ask mostly because I wouldn’t be changing the “regular” timeline bio for it, but creating an entirely new-and-different bio to add after the original one. I’m just excited about doing it, and this seems like the perfect motivation to get me started! ^^)

Looking forward to this. Profiles are a constant thorn in my side, and it will be nice to knock some out of the way. - Vexrann [Personality, History, Relationships] (Also putting in a content warning. Vexrann is not a good man.)
