Custom Biotemplates

What do you all think about custom biotemplates? I know it’s easier just to copy and paste – but I love to see custom ideas. My last three or so characters have been customized. Some are just mediocre, but some are better than any other I’ve seen. Though I’m a bit biased.

Share your custom biotemplates to inspire people to use them or create their own!

I made myself a quick and dirty one for this era’s start. CorpSec, feel free to use it as your official clan template!

Personally, I like to cut down on excess lines (do we really need 4 lines dedicated to parents AND siblings AND spouse AND offspring?) and focus the meet of my history on telling a little backstory. I think a good backstory helps you understand their character and their motivation so you can tell a better story and have more fun roleplaying.

| Subject: |
| Marian Gray |
+================================================+
| Residence: Aldera City, Alderaan |
| Place of Birth: Vittington, Alderaan |
| Age: 24 Gender: Female |
+————————————————+
| Education: |
| Vittington Boarding School for Girls|
| Aldera Post-Standard Academy |
| Aldera University |
| Degrees: |
| Xeno-Anthropology, phD |
| Archaeology-Anthropology, Masters |
+————————————————+
| Licenses: |

+================================================+
| [Background] |
+————————————————+
| |
| Born to wealthy, aristocratic parents, the |
| young Marian was raised in high society, and |
| sent to Vittington Boarding School for three |
| weeks every month until finishing her standard |
| education at age fifteen. Only two weeks later |
| she agreed to attend Aldera Post-Standard Aca- |
| demy away from her family, where she recieved a|
| specialized two-year education in sociology. |
| The next year saw her attendance in Aldera Uni-|
| versity, at which she majored in Anthropology |
| with double-specializations: Xeno-Anthropology |
| and Arhcaeology, pursuing a phD in the former |
| and only a masters’ in the latter. During this |
| time, her father, Elliot Gray, died in a space-|
| craft landing incident, while her mother died |
| in mysterious circumstances four days later. |
| Though devastated, Marian did not let this sway|
| her from her goals, and she was able to finish |
| her degrees. She has been on record as having |
| been employed only very few times, and for no |
| more than a month at each employer. These emp- |
| ployers include The Aldera Museum of Fine Arts,|
| Aldera University Excavation Team, and the Vit-|
| tington Sports Complex. She has participated |
| in and won several trophies and certificates in|
| swimming (she is believed to have learned to |
| swim before learning to walk), gymnastics, cro-|
| ss-country distance running, and rock climbing.|
+================================================+

Here’s an alternate template to those either in the Galactic Empire in Era 2, or as an Imperial citizen outside the Empire. I did not personally make this, but I saw someone (apparently Klor made it) with it a few months ago, and tweaked it slightly with my own colors (as I lost their colors). It’s also closed in on the right, the original wasn’t. Those unfamiliar with this kind of format will need to adjust the right border so it lines up properly after adding in words. Those that don’t want to deal with it should probably strip it out for their own ease.

Will look like this: https://i.imgur.com/I98PFBZ.png

And for those looking for simple, here’s the original GE template with the lines balanced and in more Imperial colors. Looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/kWLKMJc.png
