Might as well make this.
Ok, To keep everything all organized, I'll make a form.. or something. Try to make it look something like this. And for reference, an index.

I'll post on this later.. I have some abilities I would use, but no one had ever commented on them, so I really have no idea if anyone likes them or not.

I personally like the character template you made (I think you're missing the "Age" slot, though); but I have a question...
Should there be a rule as to how many characters you post, as long as you use only one per story? Cuz If not, (Homer Simpson voice) Woo-Hoo!

I would suggest that you can control a small number (like two or three as you suggested) with the condition that the two or three cannot be featured in the same story, unless they're like twins or something (basically if you have too many characters, one person will dominate the narration of the story, so that would suck...)
and as far as the storytelling itself, I agree that it can be heroes style, or it can be comics style, depending on the actual collaborators involved. But once you choose a style, you have to stick to it for that story...

of course, the rules for the design of characters...
Character Rules: 1) no plagiarism (especially not from published works); this includes quotes, catchphrases, characters, names of locations, anything that can be used to comprise the element of the story; if one uses a quote from another source, it must be somehow indicated either in the story, or in some notes posted after the story itself... 2) no flaming (harsh criticisms, unnecessarily mean/rude reviews, namecalling, insults, direct OR indirect attack of character...); screw politeness and hurting feelings; it's about RESPECT 3) no trolling (kinda goes with #2, but no harrassment will be tolerated; constantly bugging posters about elements of their story, or asking them to include something of yours, or pestering of any other nature will result in deletion of your posts from the thread) 4) no remarks of a derogatory nature (racial slurs, sexist remarks, homophobic slurs, mocking the handicapped/disabled, etc), implied or indirect (two black characters cannot refer to themselves as "nigga", and there will be no use of racial epithets, or other derogatory terms in ANY story; no compromise, no negotiations); if the use of such is NOT revised, it will be deleted (as well as all posts associated with it), and the poster will be asked not to use that character, post or plotline again in ANY future stories... 5) any "risky" content of the story must be stated before the story is begun (we must have some indicator if your story is going to have some profanity; and even though we don't post pictures of such, the presence of nudity, intercourse or any other sexual content must be stated BEFORE the story is posted; some people find such material offensive and would like to avoid contact with such) 6) stories which are apart of the same continuity are continued all in the same thread (imagine the Harry Potter Series; if it were to be severely shortened, parts 1-7 would all be posted in the same thread, as they are part of the same series; this is only to avoid confusion and save space) 7) if the character is to be considered a main character you want to use, you must post a profile of his/her information, regardless of whether he is human or superhuman (this is to prevent the use of Mary-Sues or Gary-Lous, and to prevent posters from switching up powers, characteristics and other stats; it also helps to kind of direct the story, as collaborators within one story can know how to interact with one another, making the interaction more realistic) 8) use of Mary-Sues or Gary-Lous (or whatever the male version of a Mary-Sue is) is strictly prohibited; if a character is suspected of being a Mary-Sue, it will be brought to the attention of others; upon review, if the character is found to BE a Mary-Sue/Gary-Lou, the poster will be asked (nicely) to revise the traits of the character that make it such; if the character is NOT revised, it will be deleted (as well as all posts associated with it), and the poster will be asked not to use that character again in ANY future stories... these were all I could think of; help me out if ya think I missed something

I think it would be great if the character thread and the rules and such COULD be moved to another section, but I think that would require they first be deleted from THIS section...maybe we could copy them to a new section and then delete them off of here. The new section would have to be created with the help of Justin, of course...
perhaps on this thread it should just be characters, but for now, it can serve as the start of the rule-making for both stories AND rules...

@ Zale: any rules you wanna add or edit? and if not, what do you think of having a celebrity claim section added to the character template? It would just consist opf a picture to give you a general idea of what the character looks like (though not necessarily a photo and not necessarily a celebrity)
@Spydyr: does he adapt to gain a new ability? or just immunity to what he died of? If it's the second one, I think he'd be a GREAT villain

I revised my character thingy!
Annd... You might want to define the difference between what YOU know and what your CHARACTER knows.
