This is a very basic character sheet:
First Name:
Last Name:
Alias' or Nick-names:
Were you in the Military? Yes or No and which one, Alliance or Independents, what year you joined
Stats:(age, height/weight, eyes, hair)
Physical description: (Weapons, Clothing, build, scars, etc.)
Flaws/Personality traits:(strengths, weaknesses, Likes, Dislikes, Fears, Passions, Hobbies )
Job position:
History:
Aspirations:
Misc.:
The following is a questionnaire to help you create your character. You don’t need to include all of this information in your character profile, though you can if you so choose. The intended use is to assist you with creating your character, during the actual creation. It is for your personal use for developing the name you come up with into some semblance of a human being (whether normal or not is totally up to you). From there, you decide what from this goes into the actual character sheet. You do not have to post your character development information anywhere on the site, and honestly, anything you do not include in your history, I do not recommend posting, however I will not stop you, should you choose to do it anyway.
Keep in mind, that RPing in itself is character development. Everything that happens creates a new memory. It changes things. It develops your character. That said, you have to have the foundation before you can build the house. The stronger your foundation is, the longer it will take for your house to be reduce to rubble, in a manner of speaking. Always remember that what YOU know about your character may be wildly different from what your character knows about themselves. You may think your character is a complete dick, and you character can think he or she is the greatest human being to ever grace the 'verse.
Character building Questionnaire (Things to think about when creating your character):
1. What is your name? (Is there a story behind your name?Do you have any nicknames or titles?)
2. What do you look like? (How old are you and how old do you appear to be? Are you muscular, skinny, athletic, petite, nerdy, etc.)

35. What are some of the significant moments in your life? (Everyone will have things in their life that define who they are. What are some of your defining moments? Significant things from your characters history that has turned them into the person they are today. Deaths, births, marriages, divorces, first time in battle, first wound, graduation, successes, failures, etc.)
************************************************************************************
This long after the war, alignments aren't terribly important during RP, but they can make a significant difference if your character feels very strongly about the side they're on. That said, people cannot be so easily defined by an alignment. Just because they are alliance, doesn't mean they would just let a man die for being a browncoat, and visa versa.
Alignments
Lawful good / Neutral Good / Chaotic Good
Lawful Neutral / True Neutral / Chaotic Neutral
Lawful Evil / Nuetral Evil / Chaotic Evil
Lawful = respect law and order, regardless of morals
Neutral = sod law, i go by my own morals.
Chaotic = Law is wrong. I'll do as I want.
In addition to the above, we will add those below. I would like to point out that the below should be used in conjunction with those listed above, not INSTEAD of those above.
Alliance - Purple Belly
Alliance Supporter
Independent - Browncoat
Independent Supporter
