Remain [somewhat] realistic. Seeing as the inspiration of the site falls in the category of all those great ancient Chinese traditions, I wont mind your characters being able to soar through the trees ala Crouching Tiger or be able to glide across water like Tony and Jet in Hero. Remember, this is a site about writing fiction, we're here to create and enjoy lush stories. But even the most wild tales need a little grounding. 
Number of Characters You are Currently Allowed: TWO
[You must ask one of the staff before you can make your second character]
Where to start:
An important note about this site is that since it is based around a general plot-line, we're going to try and focus the action or writing to the topics that are already created. So feel free to start a new thread somewhere you want, but your first post in the game must be in a thread that is already existing.
Form:
[Name]
Story: What happened in their past? What happened yesterday? etc
Style: Not so much their looks here but the way they do things
Depth: Got personality? (this form doesn't!)
Appearance: Pretty simple one here, but please don't feel that you only need to put a picture here, we'd like to see some creativity with your details!
One Image/Word to represent this character: Think out of the box here. Don't say "angry," say tumultuous. You don't have to do both unless you want to, either one is sufficient for this section.
Example: Of your writing. The dreaded example/first post I've always disliked. But hey, this is a key part about the site seeing as it's based off writing. A simple two paragraph post is fine, just make something really easy. You have a topic though:
Your character is standing on a cliff of a tall mountain and there's a rock slide coming his/her way. Go. (the rest you may touch up as you see)
Then just wait for approval and you're ready to start playing.
