As you probably know, your character's profile is pretty much a full description to your character. They usually take a while to make, and also have some time and effort put into them. Here ae some things you should know before making one.
First, the quality of your profile is pretty much a lot of what is going to make it be accepted or not. It's better to not use chatspeak in it, and to not make your character resemble any characters that are in the show right now, or else chances are it won't be accepted. It's ok to make your character have a tragic past, but just keep it realistic, since not everyone from Avatar I'm sure has a tragic past. What's wrong with having your character have a happy past? Then it doesn't seem too unrealistic, seeing as a lot of people make their characters with tragic pasts, which just kind of seems to make things off balance.
Another thing is the time period. Of course they don't have things like cellphones, televisions, cars, and watches in Avatar, so your character shouldn't either. And they don't have hair dye from what is shown so far either, so please don't send an application with your character having green hair or blue hair, that definately won't be accepted.
Another thing is tattoos and scars. It's ok if they have them, just don't make them resemble ones that character's from the show have. Like since Aang is currently the only Airbender, nobody else should have Airbender tattoos. And with scars, it would be a little strange to have another character have a burn scar on their face like Zuko's, so that probably wouldn't be a wise thing to do either. To much resemblance to canon characters will probably not get yours accepted, so it would be best to not have to many.
And last thing is animals. Of course your character can have a pet, but keep in mind that Appa is the only Flying Bison on the show, so your character probably wouldn't have one as a pet. That would change if the current plot was set to over 100 years in the past, but if not then your character probably shouldn't have one.
And always remember that before making a profile, be sure to check the approved profiles list to make sure nobody else already has the same name as your character, or else you can't have that name.
So after reading that, you should have some helpful information for making your profile! Well then if you think your character is ready, then you can go ahead and go to work on your profile outline! Go ahead to the profile outline page and you can copy and paste that to start to work on it.
