Character Sheets
So here's what I'd like for you to include in your character sheets please. I'm not really worried about BBcoding, but you might want to proofread and make sure your spelling and stuff is on point. I will be accepting characters until the first game in the RP has happened - Remember to avoid going for roles that are already taken.
Full Name
Make sure your character's name matches up with their given ethnicity. If they're Japanese/American, you can give them an American/Japanese name, and you don't have to worry about putting their surname first - depending. If they are entirely Japanese, however, I would advise you to put their surname first.
Nickname
Ethnicity
Japanese? American? Australian? Etc.
Age
Their age should match up with their Grade Level. (First Years: 15-16; Second Years: 16-17; Third Years: 17-18) Unless they've been bumped up a grade or held back one, they shouldn't be much older than the given ages.
Grade Level
First, Second, or Third Year. If you are wanting your character to be a Coach or Captain, note that Coaches have no need for this section because they should already be out of high school, and Captains must be Third Years.
Birthday
This is really just for party purposes and to understand who's older than who. You can also include their zodiac sign because some people may be too lazy to look it up.
Sexuality
Heterosexual? Bisexual? Homosexual? Bicurious? Etc.
Gender
Male or Female?
School
Kokuja or Jindai?
Club Role
There may only be one Coach and one Captain for each team. However, the Captains must be of opposite genders - meaning one boy and one girl. This is because of the new co-ed law. If they are not a Coach or Captain, you have these to choose from: Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward, and Center. Managers do not count towards the teams character limit because they don't play on the court. Remember that Captains also have a position in need of playing, so choose between the listed above.

There may only be one Coach and one Captain for each team. However, the Captains must be of opposite genders - meaning one boy and one girl. This is because of the new co-ed law. If they are not a Coach or Captain, you have these to choose from: Point Guard, Shooting Guard, Small Forward, Power Forward, and Center. Managers do not count towards the teams character limit because they don't play on the court. Remember that Captains also have a position in need of playing, so choose between the listed above.
1.) Captain: The captain is basically like the assistant coach, as well as the most skilled played on the team. The reason I'm making them third years is because they should have the most experience, so try sticking with that if you plan on making a captain. Whenever the coach isn't present, it will be the captain's job to keep practice going. Also, don't forget that the captain also needs a position such as point guard, power forward, etc. to play while on the court. Being the most skilled might leave them knowledgeable on how to play almost every position in case someone else on the team gets hurt and their fill in is absent, but choose the one they're best at for now.
2.) Point Guard: The point guard is typically the team's best ball handler and passer. Therefore, they often lead their team in assists and steals. They are quick and are able to hit shots either outside the three-point line or "in the paint", largely depending on the player's skill level. Point guards are looked upon as the "floor general" or the "coach on the floor". They should study the game and game film to be able to recognize the weaknesses of the defense, and the strengths of their own offense. They are responsible for directing plays, making the position equivalent to that of attacking midfielder in Association football, quarterback in American football, center in Ice hockey, or setter in Volleyball. Good point guards increase team efficiency and generally have a high number of assists. They are often referred to as dribblers or play-makers. Point guards are also normally the shortest players on the team.
2.) Shooting Guard: Along with the small forward, shooting guard is often referred to as a wing because of its use in common positioning tactics. As the name suggests, most shooting guards are good shooters from three-point range. Besides being able to shoot the ball, shooting guards tend to have good ball handling skills and the ability to drive the ball to the basket, often creating their own shots off the dribble. A versatile shooting guard will have good passing skills, allowing them to assume point guard responsibilities known as combo guards. They're some of the average height players on the team... for what is considered average when it comes to NBA anyways.
3.) Small Forward: The small forward position is considered to be perhaps the most versatile of the main five basketball positions. Versatility is key for small forwards because of the nature of their role, which resembles that of a power forward more often than that of a shooting guard. This is why the small forward and shooting guard positions are often interchangeable and referred to as wings. Small forwards have a variety of assets, such as quickness and strength inside. One common thread among all kinds of small forwards is an ability to "get to the line" and draw fouls by aggressively attempting (post up) plays, lay-ups, or slam dunks. As such, accurate foul shooting is a common skill for small forwards, many of whom record a large portion of their points from the foul line. Besides being able to drive to the basket, they are also good shooters from long-range. Some small forwards have good passing skills, allowing them to assume point guard responsibilities known as point forwards. Small forwards should be able to do a little bit of everything on the court, typically playing roles such as swingmen and defensive specialists. Small forwards are a bit taller than Shooting Guards - usually.
4.) Power Forward: The power forward often plays a role similar to that of the center, down in the "post" or "low blocks". On offense, the power forward is often the team's most versatile scorer, being able to score close to the basket while also being able to shoot mid-range jump shots from 12 to 18 feet from the basket. Some power forwards, known as stretch fours, have since extended their shooting range to three-point field goals. On defense, they are required to have the strength to guard bigger players close to the basket, and to have athleticism to guard quick players away from the basket. Most power forwards tend to be more versatile than centers since they can be part of plays and are not always in the low block. Power forwards are taller members on the team as well.
5.) The center, nicknamed the "pivot", usually plays near the baseline, close to the basket (referred to as the "low post"). They are usually the tallest player on the floor. The center usually scores "down low, in the paint" (near the basket, in the key), but some can be good perimeter shooters. They are typically skilled at gathering rebounds, contesting shots and setting screens on plays. The center position has been traditionally considered one of the most important positions, if not the most important. The range of players used in the position has transitioned from relatively slower but much taller 'back to the basket' players to players who would normally be classified as power forwards but can dominate the position with their defensive skills, or mismatch ability to shoot from the high post. This has been due to the scarcity of players possessing the combination of great skill, ideal height, and durability. This has been matched by the development of more fast-paced and athletic basketball play which calls for less traditional center play and a more up-and-down the court style.
Height
Weight
Appearance
Use decent pictures. Please DO NOT put a picture that takes up the entire screen. Learn how to use BBcoding enough to understand heightrestrict. If you can't, I can help you out a bit c: also leave a small description on what they look like apart from the picture.
Personality
Don't use bulletins. I'd like for you to write a nice paragraph - at least - explaining the type of person your character is. You don't have to be too, too detailed because we'll get a better understanding of them during the RP anyways. Talk about the things they like. What are they scared of? Are they a good cook? Do they have any illnesses or injuries? Health issues? You know how it goes. Talk about things you'd like people to notice in your character. If you'd like, you can include a Likes and Dislikes section. It's entirely up to you. Have fun with it. Be unique.
Backstory
This doesn't have to be too long, just give a brief summary on how they came to live in Tokyo, or some crap of that nature. Why do they play basketball? Do they have siblings? Are they kin to anyone else from the team or other schools? Just put whatever. I'm sure you've done this before.
Skill
Alright... Regulars have 25 points, Captains have 30, and Coaches have 35 to put towards their character's capabilities. You can take a good look at my character sheet for a better example. Divide the points up however you'd like between these stats: Strength, Intelligence, Speed, Technique, and Specialty. (Strength is basically who beats who in an arm wrestle, or who can do the most push ups. Intelligence is who knows more than who, or who's grades are highest. Speed is who wins the race or throws the most punches within a given time. Technique is ball handling and shooting. Then there's Specialty, which is sort of random at the moment, but fill it in anyways.) You cannot come back and change these until I say so, in which I'll allow you to add one point onto your stats.
Relationships
This section is to show the relationship between your characters and other's. You do not have to have one of these, but I would recommend it if you plan on having some sort of history with another's characters.

. He has light muscle, as well as light pink hair and violet eyes. A lot of people make fun of his feminine appearance. He also has a relaxed expression to his face like 24/7. Whenever he's confused, he has a rather "high" look to his face. He's pretty tall, standing at 6'2 and I have no idea how many pounds. He doesn't pay too much attention to his appearance, but his charm is normally effortless. He wears his school uniform as casually as you can possibly get. I don't think anyone's ever seen Daiki with his tie properly tied around his neck.
