Oh, look, a new RP! I will read through it soon, it'd be so nice to jump back into fantasy themes again! *autistic screeching*
I posted a profile/bio, Christ, I hope it's OK. It is neither too archetypical nor a unique special snowflake (I think), so let me know if there's anything wrong. I will be busy all day tomorrow, though, so I might not be able to make any changes until tomorrow night.
It sure beats the character theme I've been brainstorming. To put it bluntly, it goes along the lines of: "a guy walks into an ancient ruin and gets cursed to reincarnate as a pre-teen every time they die"
Honestly, I think this would be a particularly harsh ability. Even if the mind was that of a mature adult, what sort of future would a child who never existed have? Not to mention the effect on any *ahem* adult relations that in no way or shape exist on these forums.
Gahh! Why can't I just come up with a "normal" character theme?

Nothing obvious stands out to me but I did only scan read it, will go into a bit more detail later.
As for Archetype don't worry too much about it, they are fairly limitless and exists for two reasons;
A) It gives you a reference point for character development
B) It gives me and other players a very general idea of the characteristics.
In contrast I avoid personality requirements because by the end of each story arc I would have hoped the characters personality to have been changed in some degree and defining that in a profile can confuse people later down the line if there are late comers. For example a character is extremely confident being waddled down by past events and when this new character enters the scene and the individual in question is super cautious it can be confusing.
The "Special little snowflake" issue should never arise. A character might be a prodigy spellcaster but they have their flaws to ground them in reality, and this is very much a world where being very powerful is detrimental to a characters health (Dendar, or at least her Agents are proactive in dealing with such threats).
It's very much, "There is always a bigger fish."
Hopefully we'll see some further interest there is a ton of challenges to overcome and lore to explore.

Sounds like it could be interesting in lots of ways

You know, if you don't like posting on my thread, you don't have to be part of it...I'd just like to know if that's the case.

Because that's just not a possibility for you?
I mean, I can't talk either. My character concepts are just strange in different ways.
And of course, as soon as I have the first idea almost totally written out, I start thinking about how maybe I don't want to actually use it, so I'm back to square 42 or so... Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
