How to Get Your Character Noticed

You might have noticed that there are a number of other characters on board the sim you wish to join. Sometimes its hard to get your character noticed or even for people to remember what they look like or that whenever they think they like to stroke their chin. Stuff like that. Here's some suggestions on how to get through to everyone what your character is really like:

• When you post try to describe one aspect of your character's appearance
• If they are tall mention that they tower over everyone (be sure to check other character bios to make sure you are that much taller than everyone else) or stoop under low ceilings
• Regularly mention a habit they have. Perhaps when they get excited they can't keep still and fidget, or maybe they always tug the hem of their shirt when they get out of a chair
• Post regularly and take part in Joint Posts (JPs) as some people don't feel comfortable even mentioning other people's characters in their own posts
• Update your bio to include anything like allergies, fears or their favourite hobbies and mention those in your posts at the right times. Like when they are at the counsellor's office your character talks about his paralysing fear of jam/jelly or they come out in hives if they eat pineapples.

These are all things that are unique and help everyone get to know more about your character. And who knows hopefully they can include that information about your character in their posts. Be careful though as they might try to slip you some pineapple!

Note: Another great way to get your character noticed is to get yourself noticed out of character (ooc), get involded in ooc discussions on the sim you are on. Make friends with other players, it's a great way of making people want their characters interact with yours.
