Extended Profiles Guide

On Extended Profiles

The standard "Snapshot” profile that everyone is required to fill out for their approval can be a great way to get a good, general look at a new character for the first time. Some writers may wish to further elaborate about their characters. On your Extended Profile, you can do just about anything, whether that's brainstorming and exploring fun ideas or sharing more complex stories with your fellow Roleplayers. An Extended Profile can be a "full version" of a Snapshot Profile, or it can be a collection of supplementary information about your character. You can even include links to threads you like, post links to videos or music that pertain to your character, or even include additional images. Extended Profiles don't necessarily have to be formatted like traditional character profiles; they can be journals or even collections of solo work, as long as they directly relate to your character and the Roleplay in our community.

We offer the option for approved members of our community to make Extended Profiles here on our site for the convenience of our members. To get started making one, you can make a new topic here in this section of the forum. Another option we recommend is Google Docs, which can offer much more creativity and freedom while also giving you the option of keeping a copy of your Extended Profile for yourself, separate from the site.

If you would like some ideas on how to structure and make your own Extended Profile, you can look at our template below for inspiration. Keep in mind that this template is also optional, and that you can structure an Extended Profile however you want.

We encourage members to post a link to their Extended Profile in their signature, so that everyone can see it and access it from any post you make on the site. Your signature shows up at the bottom of your "Snapshot" Profile as well, ensuring anybody who views your main profile can also access your Extended Profile if you have the link there. You can edit your signature by accessing your profile, usually by clicking on your character's name in the top right of the page.

1. At the top of your profile next to your Username, you will see a link that says [Edit Profile]. Click this link.

2. Along the left side of the page you will see a set of links that give you the option to edit various things. One of these options should be the option to Edit Signature. Click this link.

3. Your signature is a field of text that will appear at the bottom of every post you make. Some Roleplayers like to include a quote, a funny saying, song lyrics, links to music, and other fun little bits to personalize their account. We recommend adding a link to your Extended Profile here if you choose to make one. We allow Extended Profiles hosted on our site, as well as links to Google Docs.

We reserve the right to remove links to any Extended Profiles that violate our rules. If you notice that an Extended Profile breaks the rules, please inform the Staff or Community Leadership. If you notice that a link doesn't work, please inform the Roleplayer that linked it so that they can fix it ASAP.
