Name: Self-explanatory. Follow the Monty Color Naming Rule.

Color: Meaning of the name, what color is it derived from.



Age: You can be specific with the dates and year if you wish, it's optional, if you're going to be specific then I highly recommend researching before hand how the RWBY calendar works.

Eye Color: Sometimes in your drawing/art it might not be super clear what eye color your character has (which might lead to people mistaking them for Silver Eyes), so better safe than sorry.

Gender: Self-explanatory.

Race: Human or Faunus (if Faunus then specify what the physical trait is).

Height: In feet or cm or both or other.

Weight: In lbs or kg or both or other.

Birthplace: Self-explanatory.

Academy: Only applies if a character is a student. Can include if the character is a teacher/professor.

Team: Optional – because you can also include team's name in the title. Also a character might not necessarily be part of a team.

Relatives/relationships: Optional. Who is this character related to? What are their relationship with other characters?

Occupation: Self-explanatory.

Appearance: Pretty important part. Using an online character maker is fine to be frank. Drawing your own character would be AMAZING. Always great to see aspiring artists flex their paint brush or tablets or pens or whatever the hell the kids are using these days. You can also just flex your writing muscle and write down a description. There are really no wrong answers.

Weapon: The name of the weapon and how it functions. Describe what it looks like. This is one of the things that will draw in your audience, so try to think things through and be creative.

Semblance: The name of the Semblance and how it functions. Again, another that will draw in your audience, so be thorough and creative. Keep in mind, balance is worthless on its own. I see many people making OCs and they think "if I make this super overpowered Semblance have a crippling weakness then that should balance things out". NO! Your goal is to make things interesting, not to make it "balanced". It's like in sports, or in a fighting game, rule changes, patch notes/update aren't really there to make the game more fair, it's there to make the game more interesting to watch or play. My recommendation: stay away from time related Semblances. Time manipulation super powers are REALLY hard to write unless you're really confident in your ability to write it well. It's just really messy and so easy to mess up the continuity. Also try to be more specific if you're going to do energy related Semblances. Having a simple energy shield as the Semblance is a little boring, so try to be more specific.

Fighting Style: Goes together nicely with the weapon and Semblance. Describe how your character fights, what are their habits. What are their strengths and weaknesses. Do they fight at a distance? Or are they up close/rushdown monsters? Honestly, in my opinion, you better have a good in-story reason to have a character fight with their bare hands. Also try to avoid putting in real world martial arts. You can say it's similar to a real world martial arts, that's fine, but don't just simply put Kung Fu or Karate and then call it a day, because remember, Kung Fu and Karate technically do not exist in the fictional world of Remnant. Those styles probably have a different name, different origin, etc.

HISTORY/BACKSTORY: Now we get to the good part. This is one of the most important part of your character (assuming your goal is to write a story and not just practicing your art skills). Talk about the character's brief history, where they're from, their childhood, their goals, etc. Ultimately there is no one set formula to go about this. You can choose to omit certain parts if you're afraid of spoilers, sure, that's fine. I would also recommend not to write go overboard and write like 5k or 10k words in this section (surprise, surprise, big walls of texts are a turn off) especially if you're planning to write a fanfic story afterwards.

PERSONALITY/TRAITS: This will either make or break your character. I cannot stress enough how important this section is. I'll be honest with you, I stop reading most sloppy OC profiles when I see this section empty or this section being filled out hastily and quickly. If you don't have a compelling personality, you have no character. Doesn't matter how cool the character's Semblance, Weapon, Fighting Style is.

Trivia: Optional. Any extra information you'd like to add goes here. Honestly though if it were me I'd just put it in the Personality/Traits section.
