Scoring System

---Basic Info - 10 points. Should be simple for all of you folks. Name is worth out of two physical traits and misc traits are rated together and are out of six and the role in gem society is worth out of two. Character Basis is worth 0 points, it’s just there to tell how to judge the character, depending on what it’s based on and the others are just basic information.

---Appearance - 15 points. Gadgets is 3 and 2 for hair, which is worth 2 (the hair is a big part of a character’s appearance after all). The outfit is worth 7 points overall.

---Characteristics - 25 points. The usual setup; History is worth 15 points, Personality is worth 10, and Like/Dislikes aren’t worth any points on their own, but can add or subtract a few extra points to the score depending on how well or poorly they fit.

---Trivia - 3 points. The points come from the Relationships. Notes is used to supplement and boost scores in other sections.

---Weapon - 6 points.

---Ability - 8 points.

---Combat Info - 4 points. 3 for fighting style, 1 for Training.

---Day to Day Life - 2 no more needed
