Hello! If you are reading this first chapter of this 'book', then you are probably here to build a character. There are seven total categories that you can choose your character to be based on what initial organism you pick.

Step 1: Pick an organism. It must fall into one of the following categories. If you refuse, then your character will be ignored.
•Reptile.
•Mammal
•Fish
•Insect
•Bird
•Prehistoric lifeforms: Dinos, Pterosaurs, that stuff
•Dragon
• Custom.

If this is confusing, I have filled out a spread at the bottom for reference.
---------------------------

Step Two: Follow the guidelines for the catagory your character is in. Please build these up/ make a list before you comment you character down at the bottom. If that is too difficult, you can comment piece by piece, but make sure you do the requirements when you are done. Make sure you delete small notes after the full sheet is done or I will.

Is this feeling like homework yet?
(These comments stay.)

Main thing is don't give your character something that wouldn't normally belong on it. Reptiles have no fur. Mammals no gills. You get the drift. Also I have not put in all the options, just the main general stuff. If you choose a Basilisk, you can keep the running across water ability.
If choose Elephant, you can keep the trunk.
So on and so forth.

Personality questions. (These can be follow-up to the physical description, and is not required if you do not care. No care= I make it.)
Before you comment away, please look and answer all you choose to do. It makes it easier for me to find. You can still follow the piece by piece rule from earlier, however.

Step 4: Comment your full character sheet. Make sure that your character is original and not stolen officialy from a fandom.

Comment Here.

If you put it anywhere else except on the selected text, then I will ignore it. . . Maybe.
Have fun!
