Okay, here's an incredible thorough template you could fill out. I highly doubt anyone will ever have you do something so thorough but better to be safe then sorry and hey, it never hurts to blow peoples minds, right?
Now, you don't have to fill out everything there if you can't. If there are parts you can't fill out but want to, Just write in there that you need help and we'll work on it. Whatever character you create, it can be of any fandom or completely original just let me know when you post it.
Like I said at the start, it is VERY long and VERY thorough but a well rounded character like this should almost never be turned down for a roleplay.
