Whenever I create a character I always seem to struggle when it comes to putting skills in the right place, so I end up placing thme in either personality or history, so what I'm suggesting is adding a skils section to the character template

Please don't double post, just modify your previous post.

I'm not so sure about the second suggestion, but the first is a bit pointless. If the skill has anything to do with personality (i.e. being outgoing and being able to talk to pretty much anyone) put it into the personality section. If the skill is an action rather than a trait, put it into the history (such as the ability to handle some weapons, etc.)

Make sense?

It's much what Thundy said, but I'll say something:

If your 'skill' is more social, romantic, or associated with others, then that could be considered Personality. Anything that kind of connects to a person's personality trait (curiosity ---> tinkering with stuff) could probably be accepted in Personality.

However, something more or less independent from personality traits (handling weapons, history of using medicine and being able to discern stuff) could be placed in History, in my opinion.

As for your second suggestion, we kind of already have that. The Character Directory lists all the active characters out there, and the Librarians are usually updating this to the most recent of characters. If your thread is in one area/section, I'm sure you could guess where the character's profile is located on the CD (Character Directory). They're listed in alphabetical order by first name.

Not to mention that some RPers do put profiles to their characters when they use them in a thread. I don't think we can really help if the user doesn't want to put the profile in.

Hope that helps?
