HOW TO CREATE A GOOD PLAYER DESCRIPTION

[Pielolz]

THIS GUID MAY BE A SMALL RANT ASWELL.

HIEGHT: A height of 6'6 is the MAX for a Citizen, unless you were a basket ball player (Read on before you make that choice) Nothing wrong with a tall person, my Character(s) are hella tall, but In Real Life my hole family is tall. (Average height of a human from this time era is 5'11" ~Statua)

SIZE (Fat Muscles etc.) Do to lack of food you cannot be Pudgy, Fat, Obese, tubby, large, or double chinned. (You cannot be fat from food however, people are genetically fat so this can be an exception ~Statua) You can have some meat on you but Skin&Bones is more likely. Also, Muscles mass will deterorate after a while, Especialy without much food. You can have muscle but not like body builder. Being fit; You character should be immicaited, Or underfed, severely.

WEAPON DESCRIPTIONS I've seen a lot of descriptions with (Hidden blade) Unless you are Civil Protection these are impssible, we can all read your description, if we can, so can the CCA. If they new you had a blade on you, they'd kill you. (Unless of course you're a resistance member with a legit reason to have one ~Statua)

NON UNIFORM DESCRIPTION "Camo'd cloak and hoody" These are impossible, you must wear the Blue Jumpsuit or you get introuble. Massive trouble would be involved. (Same as above ~Statua)

PAST LIVES DESCRIPTION "Big black man that does Coke&Crack. All plants that can manufacture the sustance have been destroyed, Also. You'd die if the combine new that "Big black man" Is fine, Drugs, however is not. (Not to mention "doing crack" isn't a physical description more then a physical action. ~Statua)

RPING PAST LIFE IN THE MILITARY This RP, is very unlikely. Unless you clarify it OOC as former Spec Ops were all files are destroyed duting an invasion, do not RP military, the Combine wont like that.

To add on, player descriptions should only be PRESENT physical features about a character. You should not write stuff about your personality, intelligence, or anything else. If you walk up to a person on a street in real-life you won't know anything about there intelligence or history, all you would know is how dirty they are, what they are wearing, how tall they are, act...

IF you have anything to say/add on it will be added. And thank you Statua for the additions.

Also I would like to add: YOU CANNOT HAVE YOUR AGE UNDER 25 IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE DEAD OR IN STASIS(If they had a heart) IF YOU PUT SOME THING ABOUT YOU AGE IN YOUR DESCRIPTION HAVE IT "Looks XX years old" REMEMBER THAT THE YEAR IS 2016.
/rant

But yeah I am going to start asking to be able to detain people with crap like "Looks 16" "Age 19" and crap like that because its impossible.


Also some thing to note: ALEX WAS WITH THE LAMBA MOVEMENT THE WHOLE TIME that means that she was hidden and is still hidden you SHOULD NOT use this as an excuse to have a bullshit age.

/superrant


Sorry if that came off as ragey but I love hl2rp and I want other people to beable to enjoy it but not if they are not in-canon then it just makes this a very very dumb rp if no one is in-canon besides the combine and CWU.

Added notes. Fixed the fat thing.

I have a question. How do CCAs who have not been augmented yet suddenly morph into 7'8 giants in two weeks?

They don't? 468 is OfC and he's only 6'2". Always has been.

[JoshB]

I have seen multiple 7+ feet tall CCAs.

You don't have to make a physical description guide... unless people are that fucking retarded
