I like to keep it simple

Basics of what they look like, normal behavior, couple of trinkets here and there.


I used to do them in a completely formatted way, but nowadays I just... Don't bother or wing it.

i don't know nothing about mopeds

I keep it brief. Five sections. Name at the top, explanation of name if it's a warrior cat. First section is basics (age, gender, allegiance, that deal). Family and friends come next. Then romance. Likes, dislikes. Finally, extras, like theme songs and trivia, which usually stays short.

That's about it for bios with me. It works pretty well.

normally i’ll just throw in basic info and personality traits in a small paragraph format and leave it at that. If i’m feeling a little extra i’ll decorate it a little with text, but for the most part i leave them pretty unstructured and vague. for me, i let character development do a lot, so my characters are really heavily shaped by the pack and environment they’re in. For one of my characters i originally envisioned her to be very intelligent but she ended up brutish and buff and wanted to fight everything. XD

Hmm. I think my bios usually go something like:
Name
Gender
Age
Scent
Voice
Personality
Relationship status
Family relations
Group affiliations
Skills

I usually try to keep it fairly light, so that people can figure out stuff by role-playing with me, but that's usually how they look!

I prefer to keep my bios short and simple:

Simple, I don't.
I get too lazy and never write one or I just forget about it.

Actually, all I do is write "Too lazy to write a bio lol" and leave it at that
But sometimes if I have a cool character I go in-depth and all the way to write an interesing bio.
