Character Creation and Bio Format Information

 

 

Just as Aes Sedai in the Wheel of Time Series start out as Novices and work their way up through the ranks of Accepted to Aes Sedai, then join an Ajah, so must your 1st White Tower Character climb those ranks.

 

 

1st Character Rules/Guildlines:

 

Here are few other things to take into consideration when preparing to write your bio:

• Your 1st White Tower character must start out as a Novice.
  
• You can create either a Traditional Novice or Salidar Novice. The PSW WT was not split, so all Novices will live in the White Tower together. The difference is that a Traditional Novice comes to the Tower between 13 years of age and 19 years of age, whereas a Non Traditional/Salidar Novice comes to the White Tower between 20years of age and 70 years of age.
  

• All Novices need to be female; this is not to say that a male cannot make a female character and play her, for that is done often.
  

• Your character cannot have the spark inborn unless the RGL has given her approval. This means she cannot 'channel', but she can 'learn to channel'.
  
• Your character cannot be a true born Two Rivers character, this includes Emonds Field, Taren Ferry and the surrounding area
  
• We will accept bios that say the character's family are refuges from (insert country name) and are now resident in the above areas.
  
• Your character cannot be a Wilder
  
• You can can create up to 3 channeling characters in the WT RP Group
  

For a full list of Rules and Guidelines on Character Creation please refer to the White Tower Website.

 

 

Another thing to be aware of, is that here in the White Tower RP Group we play our characters in what is called Retro. This means that when you are playing your Novice, you are basically going back in time to tell us what happened 'back when you were a Novice'.

 

Until your character meets the requirements to become an Aes Sedai, your character will not be allowed to participate in events in the Main Timeline.

 

When your character meets the requirements and becomes an Aes Sedai you can play her as she would be in the Main Timeline and you will be able to participate in RPs that revolve around current events with your character being fully Aes Sedai.

 

The only exception to this rule is if you are creating a Novice who comes to the White Tower during the Main Timeline. If you choose to have your Novice come to the White Tower in the Main Timeline you must be sure to play out modern events with your character as a Novice with limited channeling abilities and limited freedom to leave the White Tower Grounds.

When you are have read all the information and are ready to create your Novice, it is time to write your Bio. Please copy the following format and email the completed form to WTDiv [at] dragonmount.com.

Personality

 

History

• This should be about 500 words.
  
• For novice characters, this should include any major events in the character's life prior to joining the White Tower, as well as how she found out she could learn to channel (has to be tested by an Aes Sedai, using the jewel test.)
  
• For fully raised characters (remember you can only make those if you already have a fully raised character), this should include a brief background of before joining the Tower, but should focus more on her history after joining the Tower.
  

 

 

The Bio Checker will read through your submission and either approve it or reply to help you work on making a well rounded, believable character. When the bio is approved it will be posted on the Biography Board and a Staff member from one of the other RP Groups will double check that your bio follows all the rules, and that your character is believable in the setting of our PSW.

 

When this is done, you will receive an email from the bio checker with some more information on the WT RP Group and a short Novice Test. You will then receive instructions on how to determine your One Power Score break down. Once that is done, you will receive permission to begin your training RPs!
