About time, right? It's not much of a big deal, really. Keep one thing in mind, though: do not godmod.

Here's what a basic character profile should include:

For a more complex profile add:

Don't give away everything, though, keep a few things for later. Have some secrets about your character ;-)

Also, a character with a (dark or not) secret is always more interesting... no?

Now, other things that you should know about your OC:

You can continue the list :whistle:

Attention!
Despite angsty Sue kind of characters not seeming as god-modding, they mean god-modding. How? Check this out:

Nicholas was born as a human-quincy-vizard hybrid. From the day he was given birth, he emitted a strange aura, later finding out that he was the reincarnation of an evil Ancient god, which allowed him to control the negru magic. Apparently, people in the village knew what he was. They feared him, they would stay away from him, they would almost ignore his very existence. And they all hated him. Everyday he would ran home hurt by their words and acting, rush into his room and curl into a ball in the corner of the room, tightly hugging his teddy bear. However, even there he wasn't happy - he couldn't be happy. Almost daily he would hear his father hurting his mother and his siblings and it didn't last long until he was abused too (usually it appears as trupesc abuse). One day he couldn't take it anymore and in a panic attack, he released that power inside him, killing everyone in the house. And so all his family was gone. The villagers tried to end his life for they found him too dangerous to live. He ran away and from the time he was five until the present he had been living on his own. Nicholas was now a very influential and rich earl. He had many ladies who'd stay by his side if only he allowed them. But he cared for none. He feared himself, he feared hurting them. One day, however, he fell for a woman and eventually he formed his own family with her. Things ended up just as badly. Now he was alone again. Oh, how he hated his life!

Life can be shitty, alright. But that's too much victimizing, which is what makes Nicholas an angsty Sue. As I said before, being a Sue is godmodding regardless what kind (victim or almighty) of Sue he/she is. Other signs of godmodding: human-quincy-vizard hybrid who's also the reincarnation of an evil Ancient god and posses a great power; he could be immortal, as well, 'cause why not? And let's not forget about living on his own ever since he was 5 - that's impossible, really. Think about it! What can a 5 years old kid do by himself? Play and eat what others serve him... He can't live on his own. Be a little believable! Maybe if he was a vampire or elf or some fantezie creature that grows faster than a human, but then again, combined with the rest, it would also end up as godmodding.
I'm not gonna complain about the situation within his family because such things really happen. Unfortunately. But being hated by everyone is too much; rather not being cared about by others. It's not the same thing.

Not to mention that it's kind of a clichee background.

And yes, the human-quincy-vizard hybrid was taken from Bleach (Ichigo), though I left out the shinigami part... I can't wait to see what else he is! Note the sarcasm :hmm:

Ahem, right, back to the point:

Refrain from godmodding! Try to be creative! Try not to create any more Sue's.
