occupation:
class(es): BARD (OR SIMILAR? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS AND OCCUPATION?)
level(s): 5
alignment: CHAOTIC GOOD TO NEUTRAL (DEPENDING ON COMPANY)

personality: Amicable Devil's advocate, has personal ideal about what is 'right' and is occasionally spiky as such, ready to help in a pinch, but only when necessary - if you need to 'reach the top shelf', get a ladder! Can be very diplomatic, however, due to current mental state, rather depressive and self doubting, 'on the mend', so to speak.

appearance: 5'6" pale; close cropped white hair; one eye blue, the other resembling his hair color; in good shape from tumbling.

inventory: 1 aged and worn inscribed short sword (heirloom); 1 jewel studded +3 whip (15', gift, has magical prehensility); silver recorder; (these 3 in pack); 1 bejeweled longsword/scabbard; +1 leather studded armor/greaves/boots/gauntlets of 'fine' variety (appropriate for battle or carnivale)

combat style: Cast from back, melee following, primarily long sword and boxing; is a precision whipcracker from performance, but more inclined to grab the sword in a fight.

magic: need to brush up on bard spell knowledge...

ability: is this basic or feat? I assume basic, but thought to ask... Bardic Knowledge certainly, several languages, but to the degree this is 'D20' or otherwise, I'll need a list...

history: Recently released from jail after a bar brawl, had spent the previous two years as a scavenger after believing the woman he loved to have been murdered. No known living family, and not overly discursive on the topic.

First off - welcome to Faerun :-) I'll try work through some questions you've asked in your application.

First off - your alignment. You can only be one, your character would only change alignment through extensive work and dedication, they cant just flip as they wish. If they are evil for example, they could manipulate situations to make their personality appear good to trick people, but a detect alignment spell would reveal their true colours. Check out this wikipedia entery to find out more about the different alignments.

Now, the difference between class and occupation is very simple. Occupation represents what you have either been trained to do or what you have spent a lot of your life doing. Class, however, is a character's capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses, which are all largely defined by their chosen class; choosing a class is one of the first steps a player takes in order to create a character.

For example. Your class could be a bard (capable of combat and of magic, Bards use their artistic talents to induce magical effects.) However, your occupation could be a Adventurer. They could use their classes as a Bard to help them in their job.

click here for a class list. Only classes up to the 3.5 editions are allowed.

For example, sombody with classes as a mage might use their Arcane skills and spells to pursue the ocupation of a Academic and use those spells and skills to help them progress and do their job well

As with his inventory, any objects in their with magical abilities will need to be purchases with a ticket (here is our store), and all magical properties must be described

here is all the information you might like to know about magic, from Arcane magic to Divine magic

As for the skills, here is a list of DnD skills, though you often get skills through your class, so when you choose a class have a look at them too.

As for your history, i noticed you started it with 'recently'. Could you perhaps start from the beginning, rather than recent stuff? Let us know how he became how he is, his lifes experiences etc

Thanks! If you need any more help let me know

Ah, thanks, I appreciate it! Helpful post. I will spend some time on it Friday and get back to you.

As far as character history, can you point me to a concise layout of 'Faerun' as this game has it? So I can add some names that make sense?

If you look through the Forgotten Realms Wikia you can pretty much get most of the canon characters. The only canons we have are exclusive to this site in particular are the three sisters - whose plot pretty much died, though they still lurk the site

You don't really need to mention canon names, perhps just write a history full of NPC's who have helped your character become who he is today Look through some accepted profiles to see how others have done this!
