This activity has concluded! Leisurely Profile Drive What is a Profile Drive?  A Profile Drive is an activity where we encourage players to write detailed character profiles for their Mycenians! We have held this activity a couple of times in the past, and while they have been quite successful, our rules and guidelines have changed over time to ensure a fair playing field for everyone involved. While we understand that everyone has their own approach to character profiles, for the sake of encouraging similar amounts of effort among participants, we have various criteria that must be met in order to receive credit. Once the profile drive is complete, participants are free to restructure their Mycenians’ profiles in any way they 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, completed profiles must contain at least three clearly distinguishable modules. Unlike past profile drives, modules may contain any style of content players would like to include, as long as the activity criteria are met for each, and the final product has the feeling of a relatively complete profile. You may find ideas for common modules below, but feel free to be as creative as you would like for these. Modules may either be purely written, artistic, or a combination, and each type of module has its own criteria for credit.

I’ve never done one of these before, but I do need a character for Dax. Can you do a single module three times for the minimum of three? (eg. 3 pieces of polished art, or 600 words)

I have some partial profiles completed from past drives/productivity days (i.e. Electria here.) If I work on a module or two for her and then have the third be on a different pet would that be ok or does it have to be a single pet with three modules in the profile?

Completed Profile for Week 1: Elio
Posted 03/27/20, edited 03/29/20

Week 1:
Personality: Those who first meet her describe her as having a chilly personality and a condescending attitude. While this isn’t untrue of her, she will always claim to open up when she gets to know others better. This too is admittedly true. She will act as if she doesn’t have a care in the world especially not for you, but she usually cares much more then she lets on. She has absolutely perfected the tsundere act. She is bright and clever, but still tries very hard when it comes to puzzles. Despite this, however, she will play it off as if she barely even tried. Whenever a topic goes to something she is interested in she will begin asking lots of questions or speaking a lot while still trying to play it off cool. Once she becomes closer to others she will open up more showing her excitable sweet side. She will always be excited with any unexplainable or shiny object and she cares very deeply for those around her. She is attempting to be kinder and more understanding of those around her even those she recently meets due to Maybell’s insistence. Likes:
- Books, especially non-fiction - Shiny coins or jewelry, especially gold - Any magical or mysterious thing - Water (“Nice to look at, but not to touch.” - Lorelei) - Cats and Maybell Dislikes:
- Leather or rocks (“They are simply too dull!” - Lorelei) - Boring people or things (“Again, they are very dull.” - Lorelei) - Getting wet - Slimy things (“Why would anyone like them!?” - Lorelei) Pets: Kalico/Kali:  Gender: Female Personality: A chaotic little demon. She will get into everything and knock everything off everything. She will manage to get into that impenetrable locked closet even you can’t manage to open. She will then promptly be stuck forcing you to break the door to let her out, Relationship: She loves Lorelei. So much so that she will sit on any book she is reading or will knock over the ink while she is working. That is the highest form of love. Although, she does seem to prefer Maybell somehow. Whenever both Maybell and Lorelei are in a room together she will always gravitate to Maybell who will happily give her all the love and attention she could ever want. While Lorelei is jealous of this she is also happy to finally be able to do something without worrying about prying paws. Quirks: The two weirdest things about her is that she loves belly rubs from those she trusts and that she loves bathing. Bathing in water that is. Her favorite past time other than destroying everything that you have ever loved is simply sitting under a faucet with the water on.

Week 1: Doing Loiste
Edit: adding two sketches just because I can. Rip my pen tho :C
Bit of background:
A young mermaid prince who isn’t really interested in his royal duties. He would rather do something, or more like pretty much anything else than become the next ruler of his kingdom. Most of his days go by studying. Appearance:
He has dusty pink hair and tanned skin adorned by freckles. His hair is usually loosely braided and is not neccessarily as neat as you’d think from someone of his status.He is over hundred years old as mermaids age differently from humans but appearence wise he is a youngish adult, maybe somewhere between twentyfive and thirty. He is average lenght and build. Likes:
- A certain knight named Percy Disikes:
- His royal duties

I feel like it was a thing last go-round, but would a kind of artistic writing vignette that loosely captures a moment with a theme (i.e. the defining moment of a character that changes them) be acceptable for the modules? I have an idea for a certain character that making a standard profile for really would kill the mood. I wrote the first module tonight but don’t want to continue in this way if it won’t count.

Hey raus, that’s absolutely fine! C: The ‘modules’ can take any approach you like; they don’t have to be ‘classic’ in their structure as long as they meet the other criteria listed and are distinctly defined sections. We love to see creativity! 8)

Week 1 (and likely only) : Jera deserves a bio now that I’ve actually…returned and plan to play for more than a moment. The whole bio is new, but only the words are my original work. I think I split it into three proper sections.

Finally finished Abel‘s profile! It looks pretty now *^* edit: to clarify, I had already written his blurb under “The Second Son” portion, but all of the tabs under the “More About Abel” portion are completely new!
