I'm hoping to start with 3 teams. I would do it with 2 if it looked like waiting for a third to form would take too long.

I'm slowly putting together my character, yes. I might end up scrapping it and starting over though.

She ended up taking a bit longer than expected, but Nerin's done! I hope you don't mind, but I changed the order of some of the parts, simply because I found myself explaining stuff about her Bio, only to find I hadn't written her Bio yet...
I might compress the larger bits using HTML Overflows later, seeing as the post is a bit big for my tastes.

I had a great time reading your character bio and enjoyed the setup you did, looks so clean I'm jelly.

Glad to see you enjoyed it! I think the main secret to keeping it clean is the inclusion of triple-spaces before paragraphs, the inclusion of '<p style="margin-left: 10px;">' before lists, and throwing 'Justify' in instead of the default margin every so often. Since the triple-spaces and 10px are about the same, it works out well for the margins, and Justify is just generally good for walls of text. Unfortunately, adding margins other than the default (40px) is impossible without Source editing. I can't remember the post requirement for accessing the Source, but... I think it's 100 posts or something.

It appeared much like a Wikipedia format with the character picture to the right side of the page, not to mention the color scheme to fit the fishermen/sea theme you have for the character. All around nice. I don't even know how to do that, this new style on the this site still confuses me.

Believe it or not, the trickiest part of the entire post is keeping that picture profile on the right, even despite the 'boxed in' appearance for the rest of the CS. The borders and such are <div> things, specifically <div style="color:#78C1BA">. The divs are everywhere. Everywhere. Even that line of blue between the picture and the physical description is a div.
Unfortunately, that's more Source stuff. The exact coding for the right-profile bit is this:
<div style="background-color: #78C1BA; width: 361px; height: auto; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;">

Looks really confusing, but a lot of the <p style="..."> can be done without going into the Source. color:#000000 for example is just changing the text to black.

Can I ask if you can link the setup you used for your profile. If you don't mind send it via pm, best not flood out of character chat with formatting codes.
