This is a complete description of your character. This has your character's name, age, gender, appearance, personality, and some history and background info. Something about the character's parents or life story, perhaps, and/or an explanation of your character's homeland or people. For example, one profile said the character was from Tar Valyn (sorry if I mispelled). They could explain what Tar Valyn was, where it was located, what the people were like, etc. Alana's player could explain about the City of Endra, or about the Temple of Mages. What they did, what type of people were there, etc.

This whole profile thing helps develop the character. It makes the player think about their character as if they were an actual person. Who they are, where the're from, who their parents are, why they have the skills they have or why they are the way they are. Once you know where your character is coming from, you can play them better. For example, if you had a character who had been in a city that had been burnt, she could be afraid of fire or something similar. Artemis, for example, (sorry to use you as an example), has had nightmares about her past and done some wierd things because of it. Reading her profile, I now understand why she did what she did, but others might not if they didn't know her story. So, think about it, I hope this helps
