[QUOTE="Victim, post: 427529, member: 78"] I think I've seen on the HERO boards somewhat recently too. I know my brother borrowed heavily from Arcady's system for this.

You can get bonus points for the following: Write a decent character history of at least one page in length (1.5 spaced, 12 font): +1 point (required) Write a good character history of more than one page in length (1.5 spaced, 12 font): +1 additional point Relationship with one or more Player Characters included in your history: +1 point Include three or more NPC’s/Organizations in your character history that are both detailed and relevant to your history in some way: +1 Point Write up two or more NPC’s/Organizations from your history in a separate document, in detail, from your character’s perspective: +1 Point Include in your history two or more plot hooks for future adventures: +1 Point Make a semi-accurate miniature of your character: +1 Point Write or draw a description of what your character looks like: +1 Point Detail your character’s family and explain how they affected his/her life: +1 Point Describe your character’s religious beliefs (must be a religion from the Realms) and how they affect his/her life: +1 Point Make a list of 5 or more personality traits that show why your character has their chosen alignment and 1 thing that is outside their alignment.
