The Pope granted me license to post character bio topics, so here's the one for Casual RP. Post your characters in this topic if you anticipate taking part mostly in Casual RP for the time being.
What follows is a long list of attributes you can define for your character, ranging from obvious things like gender and date of birth to quotes from the RPs your character has participated in. Obviously, you don't have to answer all of these questions in your bio -- just the ones you've found relevant enough to define for your character.

To show the capacities of this bio format, I'll post one for my flagship character, Terrian Brogue. I plan to use him mostly in Advanced RP, but he'll still serve as a fine example. You'll notice that even I leave details out, such as his place of origin -- it's just not important enough to the character for me to have decided that yet.
TERRIAN BROGUE
BASICS
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 28
Occupation/Titles: Con artist
RP DATA
First RP Appearance: On Archie Exie, Chords in an Ethereal Harp. He hasn't debuted on this board yet.
Completed RPs: None on this board yet.
Current RPs: None on this board yet.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 178 lbs
Eye Color: Hazel
Hair Color: Brown
Hair Style: Short
Figure: Angular, with sharp shoulders and chin. Usually wearing one of his various smiles. Not terribly muscular, but not frail. Slender, dextrous fingers.
ACCESSORIES
Clothing: Usually classy stuff, blazers and the like. Actually he's kind of a snob about this; he almost never wears T-shirts or jeans.
Weapons: Preference for firearms. He's recently acquired a gun called the "Mage Masher", capable of penetrating magical barriers and resisting telekinetic diversion.
POWERS
Terrian has the ability to create perfect duplicates of himself. Each duplicate shares all of Terrian's knowledge, memories and personality. Whenever Terrian absorbs one of the duplicates into himself, he picks up the memories, experiences and skills that the duplicate amassed in its stay "outside". (Only Terrian can create and absorb duplicates; the duplicates themselves do not have this power.) Currently Terrian can produce about twelve duplicates of himself at a time with enough effort; however, this number has increased since he first discovered the power, and it is conceivable that he will develop the ability to produce even more as time goes on. Terrian's duplicates cannot feel pain, but any injuries suffered by a duplicate will cause Terrian to feel a proportionately smaller degree of pain. To date, none of Terrian's duplicates has died. There are other nuances to Terrian's duplication power that will be revealed at an appropriate time.
Terrian has also recently discovered that he has an extremely restricted teleporting ability, which he calls "regrouping". By uttering the words "To me", he can immediately call any duplicate of his, anywhere in the world, to his side. The duplicates do not share this power, however.
PERSONALITY
A con artist and charmer. Has a penchant for the ladies. Tends to get a little hung up on his appearance -- but with his power, that's more or less understandable. Generally polite and tactful, but will occasionally shoot his mouth off. Will also occasionally shoot someone's face off, if necessity demands. Prefers bars, strip clubs and back alleys over your local Market Basket.
HISTORY
Discovered his talent at an early age, although at that time his power was limited to reflexive single duplications triggered when he fell or was struck by something. Kept the power secret while he tried to figure out how to control the duplications to occur when he wanted them. (Will still reflexively duplicate himself from time to time in unstable conditions.) A troublemaker throughout high school and college, he was frequently called to attention for appearing to pull off multiple shenanigans simultaneously. Naturally, he became good at lying his way through every run-in with the administration. Upon graduating from college, he abandoned his past ties and moved overseas, eager for a clean slate and a new playground for his skills. Though Terrian pulled off a variety of capers (and wooed a number of women) as a scoundrel in the underbelly of the big city, his venture with Helen and Prime to secure the "Rebellious Orator" spellbook marked Terrian's first encounter with supernatural powers besides his own.
QUOTES
"I don't know if it's some kind of magic or just a special power, but... I could be persuaded to lend a few hands to your venture."
"Covert infiltrations are just my style. I find they go much smoother when you can break into six floors at the same time."
"You might consider helping me out -- I'm not the type of guy you want becoming an undead -- zombie army in a matter of minutes -- could get ugly, is all I mean to say."
"Yeah, I sent off a scout to get the lay of the land earlier -- you saw him, actually -- but apparently he was less interested in getting the lay and more interested in getting... well, you know the rest."
