Name: This is the name of your character. Nothing too hard here.
Age: How many years has it been since your character was born? For Servants, use the age they are summoned at, not a true age.
Gender: ProfessorOak.jpg
Alignment: This is a D&D style alignment. Pick between Lawful-Neutral-Chaotic and Good-Neutral-Evil. If you don't get it, check this link for an example of how Fate Zero characters fit.
Affiliation: Is your character a member of any group? Review The Story So Far if you can't remember the groups. Organizations are bolded the first time they are mentioned. You can also check the faction topics on the Lore board for more information about each faction and their ranks.
Class: Are you a Servant with a specific class or a magus?
Master: If your character is a servant, they most often have a master and vice versa. You should link to their profile here. If you are flying solo, just list None.
Face Claim: Who is your character using as a face claim? Please list in the format: Name from Series. If not using a face claim you can leave this blank.
Avatar: A little 100x100 photo that will be rounded into a circle. This is displayed just to the side of your name at the top of the profile, and a cropped headshot is generally recommended.
Reference Photo: Please include a picture of your character's face claim. This generally looks best at 600x300 but it won't force the resolution to that. If not using a face claim you can leave this blank.
Height: Please use feet and inches.
Weight: Freedom units preferred.
Overall Appearance: Write a couple paragraphs explaining what the character's body looks like. Include things like hair color and style, eye color, and overall build for sure. If you want to expand, you can get into things like their voice, the color of their mana, and the "aura" that they give off. What outfits do they wear? If only one, please explain it in good detail. Feel free to include reference pictures for each outfit using either links or the spoiler tag. This section should be at least two paragraphs for NM/UH and four paragraphs for AM/RH.

Dislikes: The opposite of the last one. NM/UH: 5 things. AM/RH: 10 things.

Flaws: Everyone has something wrong with them. What makes your character not a Gary Stu? NM/UH: 2 things. AM/RH: 4 things.
Fears: Likewise, everyone has at least one thing that leaves them quaking in their boots. How can we make your character truly afraid? NM/UH: 1 fear well explained or three listed fears. AM/RH: 2 fears well explained or six in a list.
Goals: What is the driving objective for your character? This may or may not be their planned wish if they should ever possess the grail. NM/UH: 1 goal well explained or three in a list. AM/RH: 2 goals well explained or six in a list.
Personality Summary: Write a few meaty paragraphs about what your character acts like overall. How do others perceive them? How do they perceive themselves? This section should be at least two paragraphs for NM/UH and four paragraphs for AM/RH.
Born: Where did your story begin?
Current Residence:Where does your character currently live?

This section should be at least four paragraphs for NM/UH and eight paragraphs for AM/RH.

This section should be at least two paragraphs for NM/UH and four paragraphs for AM/RH.
Noble Phantasm: Explained in the Servants thread.
Stats/Skills: As far as stats and skills go, it's recommended that you read the posts explaining them in detail. No good way to summarize all the knowledge you need there.
