Creating a Character When it comes to creating a character in the Hyperverse, your imagination is the limit. However, there are a few rules and guidelines regarding your character(s) that you must keep in mind.
1) All characters must have flaws/weaknesses. So make sure you don't over power your character(s). This allows a for a fair role play experience with others.
2) You are allowed to create a character of any race, place, background, etc that you wish. If there is a race that you wish to be but it is not listed in the "Races and Species" section then you must first create a profile for the race in that section.
3) If a characters history/background is connected with another persons character then you must first get the other persons permission before adding their character into your history.
4) Avoid using terms such as, most powerful in the universe, invincible, unbeatable, etc. As stated before you character can not be any of things. This does not mean however, that your character(s) can not be called these things by others.
(More rules may be added as the forum progresses. The following template may be reorganized/modified to an extent depending on each particular character.)
- Code:
-
[b]NAME GOES HERE[/b]
[b]Race:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Gender:[/b] (if applicable)
[b]Personality:[/b]
[b]Appearance:[/b] (Image(s) of your character may be added if you wish to do so.)

THE HPV DATABASEOpen Database The source of openness which allows the development of an in depth, detailed roleplay world. The database is open for all members to add their own content as they please while using the following templates.
Contradiction This can sometimes be a big problem for large roleplay universes such as Overdark. Therefore we expect both new and experience members alike to regularly read new content that is added to the database and keep it in mind when roleplaying and/or adding your own content.
Originality Be original when adding to the database. This means we don't want canons of anything. Stereotypes are fine but don't use that as an excuse to make a parallel of something someone else has already made.
Creating a Faction/Realm/Guild When it comes to creating a civilization or anything else that would fit into this category such as a corporate or intelligence organization. Or perhaps a mining guild or gang of inter-galactic pirates, etc. The you need to keep in mind that there is no official template for this category. The only required things that we expect is a name of your faction/realm/guild as the title and an in depth, detailed description of regarding everything about it we need to know. When it comes to actual civilization, the thread description must also include a civilization class. Somewhere in your profile of any faction/realm/guild is whether or not they are loyal/supportive of
"The Unity".
Technology and Magic The "Technology and Magic" section of the Overdark Database does not have a specific template however it is expected that members show effort and detail in their content that they add.
Creating New Planet The following is a template that must be used when adding a new planet to the cartography section of the HPV Database;
- Code:
-
[b]Planet Name:[/b]
[b]Population:[/b]
[b]Atmosphere:[/b]
[b]Surface Area:[/b] (Compared to Earth)
[b]Surface Gravity:[/b] (Compared to Earth)
[b]Moons/Satellites:[/b]
[b]Description:[/b] (DETAILS)

Races/Species Remember, once you create a new playable race all members have the right to create a character of that race. When creating a race make sure you put the name of the race as the title and its planet of origin as the thread description. The template for creating a new race is as follows:[/font]
- Code:
-
[b]Race Name:[/b]
[b]Average Lifespan:[/b]
[b]Average Height/Weight:[/b]
[Image of Race]
[b]Description:[/b] (DETAILS)
Book of Creatures The book of creatures is a way for members to show unlimited creativity. It is a database of all member created animal/monster/creatures that reside in this massive HPV universe. However when submitting a new creature all members must use the following template. Don't worry, it is very simple.
- Code:
-
[b]Creature Name:[/b]
[b]Average Lifespan:[/b]
[b]Average Height/Weight:[/b]
[b]Habitat/Location Found:[/b]
[Creature Image]
[b]Description:[/b] (DETAILS)
