Most sites that have canon lists will give you some pretty pictures of a face claim, a name, and every little detail about the biography of a character, and then get angry if you deviate from the biography that the administrators have written for them. Here on KING OF NEW YORK, that's nothow our canon list works.
Below is an example of what our canon list entries will look like
--- --- KENTAGE || YEAR || DEGREE || TRAIT || TRAIT || TRAIT || TRAIT || JEREMY JORDAN || PLAYER
BIOGRAPHY: This will be completely written by the role player that takes a character. The biography that goes on this template should be at least two paragraphs, covering the character's history, and personality.
CANON CONNECTIONS: Here you will find any face claims that are connected to a character within the canon list itself
SUGGESTED/REQUESTED CONNECTIONS: Here, on open roles will be the name of a taken character that has requested that a certain face claim be connected to theirs. On taken roles, the list of the face claims that that player wishes to have connected to theirs will be here.
As you can see in the above template their are four spots for character traits. When filling out a template to claim one of these canons, please choose two positive, and two negative traits. If you need help finding these traits, there is a master list of positive traits
here, and a master list of negative traits
here If you need help getting your character's personality going try this master list of underused personalities
