DESCRIPTION BIO
Syntax: description
Syntax: bio
The DESCRIPTION command puts you into an editor to edit your long character
description (what people see when they look at you).
The BIO command puts you into an editor to edit your personal bio: what
people see when they check WHOIS on you.
For examples of good biographies, check:

A good bio will describe your character's past. It will also touch upon
some of their common emotions or possibly how they developed. A good one will
also have proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. A bad bio will chop out
major details and key events which shape the characters life. For example:
"Tom was a Syndicate member and then they braytrad hem. He tryied to fight
bac but couldnt. So then he got strongr and promised he would go kiling them
for revenge"
Many things are wrong with that, English construction is the obvious one.
To fix this horribly shit-tacular bio, this character needs to fill the gaps.
The bio assumes the reader knows many points of Tom's back story, when infact
the read knows only what the writer has told them or is common knowledge. The
Syndicate mentioned is vague, it could be any of them. Also, it doesn't say how
he trained to improve his skill, maybe he sought out a trainer? Or he used
personal labor to improve. Cliche things aren't always to good to use as a
crutch in trying to fill the gaps either. Stating Tom was trained by an old
master of some sort would be cliche and worn out. Maybe Tom could use instead
that he was trained by going into prison and meeting an old convict who taught
him the true principles of fighting. That would also help to explain more of
how the Syndicate betrayed him. Use some of these methods and more so your
bio will not only be authorized-able but good too!
