Give him some more details. such as age backstory, storyline... its a good start and you can always elaborate..but thats my 2 cents..

twio things. first d313, if you're going to post, post something worth reading . halfwit. I need more detail. Ok's he's an adult, is he 20 seasons 25 seasons 50? create some family ties,create parents siblings etc,. alright so he's forgetful.. but then you should add some redeem characteristics. Is he likable, funny, caring? details details details..

I don't see your post as worth reading either. A post can be wither worth reading or just a simple response, like so.

That may be true, but as a moderator of this board, I;'d prefer posters to cut back on the 'lol'-type posts and contibute posts of some detail and length.. Its what I've always done, and as such my expectations are set at a certain level..

That's like saying Kobe Bryant expects everyone else to be a basketball superstar. Besides, this isn't an IC thread, so there's no need for "detail and length".

No, be realistic basketball superstars, like superstars in any sport, are few and far between. When you are writing a paper for a class in school, for example, the teacher will set some guidel;lines and expectations. If you meet annd exceed them, you'll get a very good grade. While you are not being graded here, it doesn't hurt to put in detail and description, the more fully realized and developed the character, the better you can see that character in your mind's eye and (usually) the more interesting that character will be to any readers who might read that story..

Good writers, are also few and far between. The teacher sets guidelines, but ones that could be surpassed by someone with an IQ of 50. A good grade in school doesn't require exceeding guidelines, just meeting them. As I mentioned above, this isn't an RP thread, per say, and doesn't require detail and description from anyone posting about anything other than their character. Besides, few people find the time to actually read someon'e Char description before posting in an RP.

Great writers are few and far between. there are more "good" writers, or rather "decent" than you might think..
