Characters

Building Your First Character

A MYRPW Character sheet has more fields than a typical social profile, and every one of them exists so a writing partner can decide, before messaging you, whether your story is a fit for theirs.

Identity fields

Name, tagline, and bio work the way you’d expect — but treat the tagline as a one-line pitch, not a name subtitle. “Exiled court mage, currently pretending to be a merchant” tells a reader more in ten words than a generic descriptor does.

Setting fields

Universe is where your character’s world lives — even a single sentence (“contemporary Earth, no fantasy elements”) saves a partner from guessing. If your character belongs to an existing World on MYRPW, name it here.

Roleplay-specific fields

Depth fields

Age, personality, role, abilities, and story history are where the character actually comes alive. None of them are required to start writing, but a thin profile is the most common reason a good-faith partner passes over a character search result.

Media

Add a profile image and cover, then a gallery when you have more art or references to share. A 3D avatar (built on the VRM format) is optional and separate from your 2D profile image.

One more thing: relationships

Once you have more than one Character, or your character has met others in a shared World, link those connections under Relationships — allies, rivals, family, whatever fits the story.
