1. Don't forget about your firelizards- many people write them and then forget about them. You can always ask for a second metallic one. But no one persona should have more than four.

2. Try to avoid stereotypes or cliches. Fandom has a huge number of red-haired, blue-eyed characters. Now, I love red hair. But they're both recessive traits.

3. Try to write interesting characters. People aren't defined by their strengths but rather their limitations. Also, Pern is pastoral and there probably aren't a whole lot of people who are abused, abducted, or abandoned.

4. Please don't send me a half filled out form with parts not done. It is really a pain in the but to have to send it back to you to have you redo the ones you missed. Example: If you are making a dragonrider, please use the Dragonrider Persona Sheet. You will find seperate persona sheets for Dragonriders, Crafters, Holders/Holderfolk, and NPC's. For those who have holdless or Caravan people, please use the Crafter Persona Sheet! Mundane Information is a mandatory section to fill out. All people have to fill it out.

5. If you have a weyrling pair please put the size and their personality and strengths/weaknesses as you would a full-grown dragon. What we are looking for is how they will be and what size they will be as adults. It is such a pain in the rear to keep changing the size and stuff as they "grow".

6. Please keep your personas as life like as possible. We don't need any GODS in here.

If you need any assistance in filling out the persona sheet, contact BoD.
