@Billsomething Once you start posting for your character, you'll be able to expand and grow and you'll have plenty of wiggle room. Don't worry about being in a stranglehold. The Character Sheet provides a snapshot of who your character is at this moment, but it can change. Your character sheet does not have to remain static.
@GoddessSophia
Yeah I did haha. Hopefully the new explanation of the character sheet, more people will be inclined to join. I'm trying to organize the original post to be a bit more appealing haha.

@HushedWhispers
Ah, now I see the W.I.P.
Well, I guess I understand where you're coming from.
@GoddessSophia
I do too! It will be interesting to see where this can go haha.
@GhostWing
I understand that you want mystery for your character and that is possible. However, these characters have known each other for a very long time. So our characters need to have an opinion about your character, and idea of who they are. It doesn't mean your character can't change or grow. Maybe your character is struggling with something, or feels something different on the inside and just shows a particular face to everyone else. It isn't a strict set of boundaries for your character, so much as a template for how others might see your character and it can be a jumping off point. This big move might be a chance for your character to change or maybe the inner struggles are finally bubbling to the surface.

First off, no, you did not have to come off so aggressive. I appreciate you letting me know that the character is confusing, but a simple request for an explanation would have sufficed. I hope the following explanation helps.
This will be posted on the Original Post as well.
The character sheet serves multiple purposes, it informs me of who your character is and provides me with an idea of how you will play your character. It also provides a frame of reference for yourself and everyone else when interacting with your character. It also serves the very distinct purpose of allowing the other family members to have formed an opinion about your character. Yes, mystery is good and your character will of course develop, change, and grow, but remember that these siblings and parents all have known eachother for a very long time and will have already formed opinions about the other characters. Certain mysteries are possible, like sexual orientation, mental struggles, but for the most part your personality and behavior are things that will not be big mysteries. We need to know what our character will think of your character as this is an RP about a family.
Personality: is self explanatory, it is the general template by which your character operates. It informs their decisions and who they hang out with. It dictates how they approach people and life in general.
Behavior: goes into the minutia of day to day. How the character acts towards people. Does he lash out at his parents often. Does he do a lot of pranks? Does he get into fights a lot? Does he mistreat his siblings? Does he ignore authority? When his parents give a curfew, does he follow it or not. When you think about one of your family members, you think of their personality, but you can also think about the things they have done and how they act in front of people, that is their behavior.
Type: admittedly isn't as self explanatory as personality, which is why I tried to provide some examples. Is your character the adventurous type? Are they the loyal type? It's somewhat like describing characteristics, but it's not so much about traits so much as succinct terms that show how they move through life. Someone who is adventurous might like rock climbing, or solving mysteries. Someone who is loyal will defend their siblings, or their friends. It very importantly also provides the other players with an idea about your character and how our characters will interact with them.
Explanation of Type: is somewhat a replacement for history. You say your character is adventurous, now give examples or an explanation of how they are adventurous. My character likes to go rock climbing on the weekends. They love visiting new places. My character is rebellious - but not all rebels are the same. My character rebels against the idea of school. They don't shun authority exactly, but they don't think that school should be required. This helps us understand your character better and provides us with some ideas about whether our characters like to hang with yours and so on.
Likes: What does your character like? Music? Comedy? Travel?
Dislikes: What doesn't your character like?
Aspirations: What your character will be working towards in the long run. A life goal or a desire.
School Performance: This is important for the parents and for family members, again, to form an opinion. In some cases, like if your character is in college, this can say something like, "Chooses not to disclose this information to their family." But in high school, this option is obviously not available. School is an important aspect of being young. And again, it helps our characters be more informed about your character.
Plans: This describes what your character wants to do with their life in general. Their plans for the year, short term. How they plan to get to their goal, or how they will make the most of the move to the new place. Or maybe they plan to improve their grades or relationship with their siblings or parents. It also gives me an idea as to what you want out of this RP.
Remember that this is a family RP. They all know each other. We need to be able to have a very good foundation of who we are are and who our family is.

Name: David Tree
Age: 15
Personality: David is usually very calm and reserved. He likes to have fun sometimes, but he also enjoys reading in a quiet place on his own. He is very positive and always tries to look on the brighter side of things, though this move is testing his threshhold as he really misses his friends. He can have days where he is annoyed at things and kind of lashes out, though he tries to contain it.
Behavior: Respectful, Occasionally Submissive, Noble, Mostly follows the rules.
Type: Studious, protective, worrier, optimist.
Explanation of Type: David likes to study and do research. He is also very protective of his siblings and will not let anyone treat them mean. He is an odd mix of a worrier and optimist because he worries a lot about his future and thinks about it constantly and whether he will be a good adult and get into a good college, but also likes to think positively about people and trust in them and that things will inevitably turn out okay in the long run.
Likes: Books, Music, Anime, School, Riding scooters, playing video games.
Dislikes: Heavy Metal, Being laughed at, getting to school late, his things being messed up, not being taken seriously.
Aspirations: To be a University professor and researcher.
School Performance: Very well. He had a bad first semester his freshmen year as he got acclimated to Highschool, but turned things around.
Plans: He plans to try to make new friends at school, to explore the neighborhood and to get into school clubs.

@GhostWing Let me know when you complete the application so I can consider it :)
@HushedWhispers Thank you for applying! She seems good, but can you also include the other parts of the character sheet? You can exclude the school part :) And thank you for reminding me about rules! I will mostly be asking for adherence to the rules set forth for the Casual section, so two paragraphs at least will likely be my request, but I will be hoping for medium to high casual.
@GoddessSophia I love it! You are accepted! Thank you so much for joining us!
