I’m new here. Help. Please.

[TrueDetroit]

So my main concern is that theirs barely any character descriptions as far as I know, do I just describe the rest of my appearance (because it’s way too complex for a simple “one liner sentence”) and I’m amusing my backstory and personality are taught from roleplaying?

First off, welcome! Wco can be a bit tricky to figure out at first. When submitting a character, I try to keep it as simple as possible, for example, "a large dark grey tom with flecks of cream" even though his design is much more complex. This is the best I can do to help<3 @TrueDetroit

Hey! Welcome to WCO! So when you first submit your character, you only include the most basic things about their appearance, but you’re free to make biography for your characters too which could go into far more detail! I’ve got a few in my signature if you want to have a look so you can make your own!

Thank you, but where can I find biographies? Dumb question I know but I suck at traveling through sites.

welcome to wco!

if you click on the forums button (where you got here from) and scroll down, there should be the word biographies. click on that.

also, for descriptions, take my character Apollo for example. his full desc is "a silver tabby tom with green eyes and a long tail. he has a scar down his shoulder, a nicked ear, and a mangled tail. he has a white diamond shape on his forehead and a white dash on his chest. one of his back paws is burned and as a result half of his paw is raw and scarred, with the non scarred part being patchy fur.", but I shorten it to "a scarred silver tabby tom with green eyes". get it?

Hi and hello, welcome to wco! what I do is make a thread of their role details, background, design, and ect.
but the charactor for me is already or is about to be submitted!

if you have any questions come to me, or practically anyone!
everyone likes to help here in the wco community!

have a wonderful morning/evening/night/brunch!

I hope that helped, wco is a little complicated at first, but you will get the hang of it, I promise!

@TrueDetroit, welcome to WCO!

You can choose your backstory however you want. You could create a rogue or loner joining a clan, you could start off as a kit and have no backstory, or you could start off as a warrior with a backstory you created, like what their childhood was like. There are also other options, too. I'm less sure about this aspect, you could ask somebody else too, this is a very welcoming community

For personality, you can also do whatever you want, you don't just have to base it off of what happens to your cat, though it could help shape their personality in the future.
You could also roleplay as a cat you created and aren't sure what their personality is yet, and see what happens and how it takes shape.

Hope this helped!
