Making a Character Profile.

[Kohakuchan19]

When Making a Profile, make sure you have the following descriptions.Please make sure that all character profiles are placed in the appropriate board. thanks!

You will need:
name: a Full name if you fan think of one.
age:
gender:
race:
allegiance: example being; good, bad, chaotic or nuetral.
descriptions: describe his/her physical features, and clothes. (a picture will do)
behavior:
bio: give us some back story of your character.

I don't care how you choose to make your character sheet to be honest, but they must at the very least contain the above categories. For those who are hosting RPs, you may request others joining you to use a specific character sheet for that RP. In fact I recommend it. Have fun~

Hmm, I just need to be able to think of a name. BTW, I have no idea how role playing on a forum works, so that will certainly be interresting.

[Kohakuchan19]

It's kind of like cooperative story-telling. or creative writing. :3 you'll get the hang of it.

Hey what about height and weight?
The problem is, no one knows if the People in Elhorn are as big as humand or smaller.
I always thought they there smaller like in the Sonice games, but then I saw some character sheets in which the characters had humans sizes.
So what is it?

[Kohakuchan19]

any additional stuff is up to you, what I have up there is the bare minimum I'd like to see in a profile.

[metalbyakko]

I don't want to nag or bitch around but:
IT IS A IMPORTANT QUESTION !!!

I just want to know if the People in the world of Elhorn are as big as humans or smaller, because they are anthromorpic animals.
I saw in the sheets of your characters, that they seem to be human sized, so...I would assume they ARE as big as humans in our world.
I just wanted to make sure, that's the reason I ask you.

[Kohakuchan19]

I haven't been sure either, but this template isn't just for RK based RPs, it's for any and all RPs on the forum. As far as our anthropomorphic friends are concerned. I would imagined that they would be smaller than humans, but the sizes between different species (Wolves, Armadillos, etc) would be relative to what they might be in comparison to as they appear in games. (like a wolf compared to Sparkster for example)

Depends in the way you see it.

If you go more into Sonic's height... he's 100 CM (3'3 ft.)

Rocket Knight is/was supposed to be a rival to SEGA's blue hedgehog just without the all-so-cocky-badass-attitude like Sonic always had. The games always presented the enemies a bit or extremely tall (depends on the race) compared to little Sparkster.

> Real Life Opossums are around 32 ~ 50 CM (1'0 ~ 1'8 ft.) tall; Southern Opossums are around 26 ~ 45 CM (0'10 ~ 1'6 ft.) tall; The opossum's tail can be around 50 CM (1'8 ft.) long as well.
> Real Life Hedgehog's are around 10 ~ 42 CM (0'4 ~ 1'5 ft.) tall. Of course even their size can vary depending on what kind of hedgehog you're looking for.

Since evolution played it's role into a more humanoid type of body structure for our little fellas... we can say that Sparkster would be taller than Sonic for sure - thinking back to the comparison to the Real Life sizes.

I'd say that Sparkster's around 125 ~ 135 CM (4'1 ~ 4'5 ft.) tall - if you would go for the natural cute Japanese/American style of him we all grew up with.

If we go into a very humanoid type of body that resembles the body of a normal human though Sparkster would be around 160 ~ 170 CM (5'3 ~ 5'7 ft.) tall.

You probably might ask why I'm playing with the heights... I just love to, that's all.

Also... let's face it... Sparkster, Axel and all other male opossums are shrimps. It's official! Compare their sizes with the sizes of Sherry, Cherry and Flora and you get what I mean!

I understand the point that the male characters look more animal-ish because that's a very common thing within the Japanese style (to my concern) so they look more like those that can protect their females but that the females are taller than the males? Nonsensical!

That's one good aspect of Rocket Knight 2010; they corrected the sizes.
Well not really... Axel is still taller in comparison to Sparkster. The tips of his ears are also a bit sharper than the rest... at least on Lumby's Official Artwork.

Oh yeah, did you know that all opossums within the franchise are southern opossums? Only southern opossums have those long ears (as much as I can remember). Senseless triiiviaaaa~!

So we can say that the sizes of the Wolves within RK2010 are about 150 ~ 160 CM (4'11 ~ 4'3 ft.) tall, King Ulfgar might even be around 180 CM (5'10 ft.) tall.


It depends what kind of size should be taken as "official size"; the "Human body shaped version" or the "Sonic body shaped version" we all grew up with?
Take the size comparisons as example if you wish, that's mostly the way how I work with the body sizes of characters.

If you ask me personally... I'd go more for the "Sonic body shaped version" because that's the traditional route we started the franchise - and even in RK2010 it was still present.
Of course we don't need to be ultra picky about the animal sizes (cartoon/anime VS. Real Life), but I'm sure you know where I want to go with it... right?
