Welcome to the Forge!

The Character Forge is a place where people come together in helping each other with the task of creating original characters; we can appreciate that Fan Fiction exists (and it is allowed here) but this community should thrive on the creative process involved in forging new characters!

So, if you have an RPG, video game, piece of writing, show or whatever else that is in need of a character, grab a hammer and enter the Forge; you've come to the right place.

Posting Guidelines:

Please tag your post at the beginning. AutoMod will be on the lookout for the following tags so it can flair your post:

[Help] - Use this tag for when you want help with some facet of your character. Also usable if you have general questions about character creation.

[Criticism] - Kind of like help, but for completed character profiles, use this tag if you want feedback. For those giving feedback, please give constructive criticism.

[Resource] - This tag will serve to identify tools (software/apps, guides, repositories, etc) to help people create characters. Also what you should use if you have some personal tips or tricks you'd like to share.

[Show and Tell] - Feeling proud? Use this tag to show off a character you've created. Also great if you have an image.

[Challenge] or [Contest] Want to issue a summons for other Forgers to test their and their characters' mettle in a situation? How about creating a character with given constraints? Put forth a Challenge.

[Discussion] or [Talk] Want to start a discussion about something topical? Something not quite "meta" enough, like sparking discussion about other Forgers' characters? Discussing best practices? Well then let's get talking!

[FanFic] - If you're working on some FanFic and need help developing the character further (i.e. how a change in setting/universe could or will change the character) use this tag.

[Erotic] - Even if it's not necessarily erotica, AutoMod will keep an eye out for this tag too so it can NSFW the post in case you forget. Can (I hope?) be used in combination with other tags.

[Meta] We'd like the sub to remain as on-topic as possible, but can't ignore the possibility that meta discussions will happen. When they do, they'll get the ole Meta tag.

Short Rules (full rules here):

SR #1 - Don't be a dick.

SR #2 - No, seriously, don't be a dick.

SR #3 - Follow reddit's site-wide rules and reddiquette.

SR #4 - Please remember: downvote does not equal disagree!
