	If you're trying to make a new CS, here's what you do: First, you copy everything in that big grey block of text. If you don't now how to copy and paste, you'll need some more personalized instruction - stop reading now and come find me, I'll be glad to walk you through it in more detail. Copy everything in the grey box - make sure you highlight it all. You can scroll by bringing your mouse down - remember, that's a little window in and of itself. Scroll it all the way to the bottom so that everything is covered by the blue. Hit Control C. Now we need to start by making a new topic. Go up and find "CS submission" at the top, it should be in black font in the middle of other words. Right click on it and hit "Open in new window". Now you have two windows - one with this guide up, and one with the CS submission forums up. In the window in which the CS submission forum is up, find "New Topic" in the upper right. Click that. Type in "CS: Character Name", where "Character Name" should be replaced by the name of your character. If you haven't figured out a name for him or her yet, just leave that blank for now. Now click in the message body, the big box, and hit Ctrl+V. You should have the template up and onscreen. On the template, you should see a flurry of text. Don't worry about most of this: Remember, all the tags are already set up for you! You only have to worry about the things that say (SOMETHING) GOES HERE, where (SOMETHING) could be anything from NAME, GENDER, SPECIES, FULL DESCRIPTION or the like. With those, you want to highlight those three words - and only those three words, nothing to the side of them. Be careful about this, try not to touch the brackets. If you do touch the brackets, don't panic - just click somewhere else to try again. Once you have the three words highlighted, just start typing, replacing it with the information it asks for. For example, once you've highlighted NAME GOES HERE, you simply start typing your character's name. NAME GOES HERE will dissapear, and be replaced by what you're typing. You should fill out as many of these things as you can, but not all are neccessary. The ones that are strictly neccessary are Name, Gender, Age, Player, Full Description, World Info and Character History. Everything else just adds depth. Once you are done, click "Post" down below (Make sure you wrote something in the Subject line!) and congrats, your CS is up and awaiting approval. A GM should eventually be along to approve or deny your sheet, or offer you ways to make it better, or fix up any mistakes you may have made. Please try to be patient - we're a small group, and it sometimes takes a few days to get around to things. Some advice: 1. As said above, be patient. Please. We'd love to have you in here. There will be many months of good RP for you in store if you simply have some patience. 2. Your character doesn't need to be powerful. If he's too powerful on your first try, we likely aren't going to let you in, although we're somewhat lax about things around here. Your character doesn't need to be a Super Saiyan or be Superman in order to be competitive. Even if he starts weak, he could grow strong. Part of the fun of roleplaying is watching your weak character grow to become strong. 3. Please be respectful. Remember, even though we're somewhat lax, we don't take abuse well. Abusing or getting impatient with the people who are trying to get your character through will not endear you to us, and could cost you your chances at getting in. 4. Anyone can join the IRC channel, talk on the forum, send private messages or watch in-progress roleplay. We don't have restrictions here. 5. The more parts of the CS you can fill out and the more detail you can give us, the better chances you have at getting in on the first try. 6. Your character history generally has to be longer than your character description, and both have to be longer than two sentences. I hope to see you in the IRC channel sometime!

	Notes: This CS is just for silliness and showing how the CS format looks. No, I don't care that it's inaccurate and lame. Most of it is wiki copy-paste. Full Name: Mario Mario Species: Human Gender: Male Player: One Physical Profile: Human Male (Default) Height and Weight: 5'0" and 160 lbs. Apparent Age: Mid-thirties Build: Short and stocky Clothing Style: Work uniform Voice: Mid-high pitch, heavy Italian accent Usual scents: Italian food, plumbing equipment, mushrooms, Peach, cheap cologne, NES cartridge dust. Picture: Mario Full Description: Mario's basic appearance has changed little over the years: a short, stubby man wearing a hat with an 'M' on it, brown hair, black moustache, an abnormally large and bulbous nose, white gloves, and overalls. He normally wears blue overalls on top of a red shirt, but he originally wore red overalls on top of a blue shirt as in Donkey Kong (this is also how he looks in the three cartoon series). In the original Super Mario Bros video game, Mario wore a brown shirt and red overalls (although this is most likely due to hardware limitations at the time). He is sometimes described as being overweight, an instance which once was brought up in Super Mario 64. Mario's outfit often changes to suit the game. For example, in Super Mario Strikers, (Mario Smash Football) Mario wears a football kit as opposed to overalls. In Super Mario Sunshine, a red T-shirt replaces Mario's usual long-sleeved shirt, and he could optionally put on sunglasses and a Hawaiian-style Shine Sprite shirt. In some games, Mario can transform into different forms, each with a different costume. In Super Mario Bros., he could collect a 'fire flower' which changed his overall costume into a red shirt and white overalls (although it was orange and red in the original NES version of Super Mario Bros. 3, and now the total opposite). Tanuki Height and Weight: 5'0" and 160 lbs. Apparent Age: Mid-thirties Build: Short and stocky Clothing Style: Nude Voice: Mid-high pitch, heavy Japanese accent Usual scents: Tanuki, Italian food, plumbing equipment, mushrooms, Peach, cheap cologne, NES cartridge dust. Picture: Tanuki Mario Full Description: Oddly, Mario tosses on this suit and has a semi-transformation, looking like a pudgy little tanuki-teddy thing, though with his human face fully exposed. Given the degree of control of the tail, one wonders to what degree this is a suit, and to what degree it's a TF. The fur is brown, the body pudgy, the clothes absent... Crazy Japanese. Inventory: Plumber's Overalls Ordinary blue coveralls with a red shirt and cap, along with workboots and white gloves. Super Mushroom The Super Mushroom is a power-up from the series. It is, traditionally, about the size of "regular" Mario, and has a white stalk below a red and white (originally red and orange) spotted cap. Originally, it was shaped after a common mushroom, but since Super Mario Bros. 2 it gained a more cartoonish shape, with an almost-spheric cap and a stubby stalk. Shigeru Miyamoto stated in an interview that the Super Mushroom was created by chance. The first sketches of Mario turned out to be too big, for which they were forced to shrink them. Then the development team thought it would be interesting to have Mario grow and shrink by eating a magic mushroom Fire Flower A Fire Flower transforms Mario into Fire Mario. Fire Mario's trademark distinction is his mostly-white suit in many of the Mario game. Fire Mario has the ability to throw bouncing fireballs at enemies. 1-UP Mushroom 1-up Mushrooms are common items that appear in the games. These mushrooms have green caps with white spots (originally orange caps with green spots). When Mario picks up one of these mushrooms, he will be given an extra life. Skills and Abilities: Combat Experience Mario has extensive hands-on experience with several varieties of jumping on people or throwing turtles at them. Weapon Training Mario has extensive hands-on experience with several varieties of fucked-up weaponry. Fire Flower Water Cannon Level of Education Basic highschool, followed by carpentry and plumbing vocational programs, and then medical school... I hope. Vocational History Mario's given occupation is that of being a plumber. With the exceptions of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and the original Mario Bros., he is almost never seen carrying out his occupation in the games. Pipes have, however, remained a mode of transportation. Mario was most often seen plumbing during the animated series. He was very knowledgeable about tools and fixing pipes in the movie. In the original Donkey Kong games however, when Mario was called Jumpman, he was in fact a carpenter. Beginning with the Dr. Mario series of puzzle games, which first debuted in 1990, Mario has been occasionally depicted as a medical physician as well. In 2001, Mario appeared in Dr. Mario 64, an updated version of the original puzzle game. Mario was in doctor form as a secret character in the Nintendo GameCube game Super Smash Bros. Melee, and in another updated version of the original, Dr. Mario Virus Buster for WiiWare. In the Game Boy title Mario's Picross, Mario was even depicted as an archaeologist. His most time-consuming activity seems to be saving Princess Peach, the Mushroom Kingdom, and purging kingdoms from villains such as Bowser. As seen through character interactions in his role-playing games, Mario has achieved a level of fame among the kingdoms' populations due to his heroic deeds, as shown in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, where they are referred to as "superstars", or celebrities.[11] Mario earns most of his money through the profits from his Mario Toy Company, which produces Mini Mario figures. As of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, the company has expanded to include similar versions of other characters. Language Fluency Native Italian English Japanese Paranormal Abilities: ABILITY NAME HERE DESCRIPTION GOES HERE LIMITATIONS HERE SYSTEM HERE Jumping Description: Mario is renowned for his super-human jumping ability. Jumpingâ� http”both to access different areas of a level and as an offensive moveâ� http”remains a core element of gameplay in most Mario games, especially in the platform games. Mario's most common attack is jumping on enemies. Mario also possesses super-human strength, as evidenced in Super Mario 64 where he was able to lift, carry, and throw the game's first boss, King Bob-Omb, who was much larger than him. Mario can grab Bowser by the tail, spin him around, and toss him great distances. Another recurring theme for his attacks is spinning as first used (to a lesser degree admittedly) in Super Mario Bros. 3 by using his raccoon tail and then fully exploited as a spinning drill jump in Super Mario World. It has since been used as a special attack in Super Smash Bros. and was his primary defense in Super Mario Galaxy. Limitations: Can only jump 5 times his own height without that weird springy thing. System: This power is derived from the divine Miyamoto Says So school of magics. Weird Item Use Most of Mario's abilities stem from the collection and usage of items. The most prominent of these items is the Super Mushroom, which, in the platformer genre, allows Mario to grow to twice his size. In this form he is usually labelled "Super Mario", and receives an additional hit point and can even break bricks. Other examples include a Fire Flower, which transforms Mario into Fire Mario (originally called "Fiery Mario") and allows him to throw fireballs at enemies, and the Star, which renders Mario temporarily impervious to harm, and gives him the ability to defeat virtually all foes with a single touch. (In most games he theoretically can defeat any foe in this way, but it is impossible to confront most major enemies with the Star power because there is no Star close enough.) Limitations: Must have items on hand, in order to employ them. System: This power is derived from the divine Miyamoto Says So school of magics. Background: Actual Age 34 World Information The Mushroom Kingdom is a monarchy and its heir is Princess Peach in the games. The Chancellor of the kingdom is its head of government in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, however, he has not appeared since (however a Minister character appeared in Paper Mario.) Its capital, as set forth by Paper Mario, is Toad Town. Though Princess Peach and the Mario Brothers are human, the citizens of this area are the mushroom-like Toads Character History Mario first appeared in the arcade game Donkey Kong as a character named "Jumpman".[1] The game was surprisingly successful.[2] Mario later paired with his brother Luigi in another arcade game entitled Mario Bros. When the Nintendo Entertainment System was released, Super Mario Bros. was the launch title for it with Mario as the protagonist. "Jumpman", the protagonist of Donkey Kong, was called "Mario" in certain promotional materials for the game's release overseas.[3] With limited pixels and colors of the 8-bit NES, the games' programmers could not animate Mario's movement without making his arms "disappear". Making his shirt a solid color and giving him overalls fixed this. They also did not have the space to give him a mouth or ears, and they could not animate hair, which resulted in Mario getting a moustache, sideburns, and a cap to bypass these problems. Mario's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, has stated when interviewed that Mario wears a cap because he finds it difficult to draw hair.[7] Mario is currently voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices Luigi, both their evil counterparts, Wario, Waluigi and other characters such as Toadsworth.[8] Mario has taken on the role of Nintendo's mascot and has since been extensively merchandised. Mario's major rival was Sega mascot Sonic the Hedgehog who debuted in 1991. The two mascots competed head-to-head for nearly a decade afterwards, until around 2001 when Sonic Adventure 2: Battle showed up on a Nintendo console due to Sega's new third party status, ending a lengthy rivalry.[9] Mario and Sonic officially appeared together in a crossover sports game, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and are together again in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "Hidden" Background Information HHis namesake was Mario Segali, the landlord of Nintendo of America's office,[4] who barged in on a meeting to demand an overdue rent payment.[5][6] Mario Segali was the owner of the first premises of the offices of Nintendo of America. In the time of its residence there, Nintendo of America was considering a name for its popular Jumpman. Jumpman was a carpenter with a red cap and a moustache. They realized that Mario Segali and Jumpman looked alike, so they changed the character's name to Mario.
