Well, take a gander at some profile, ones on the first page do well. Basic things that are needed are:
Name and nicknames (if they have any)
Age: Not a must, but helpful
Physical appearance: Gender, species, nationality if human, eye color, hair/fur color, height/weight, clothing, misc. physical traits (meaning scars/tattoos/missing fingers/etc.)
Skills and powers: It's VERY important to tell what exactly your character can and cannot do. If they know a martial art, what level are they and what style do they study? What weapons can they use, and do they carry any of them on their body? Do they have any mystical, supernatural, or psychic abilities? Strengths and weaknesses? -- In the course of the game, you can use any or all your abilities, but no more. This is to keep people from continuously tacking powers onto their character, until they become unstoppable, which pisses off all the other players.
Personality: Just a brief summary. Are they happy-go-lucky, or deeply disturbed? Etc. Nothing too complicated because half the fun is finding out more about characters as the game goes on. This also effects how powers are used, for example, they could be very powerful, but a laid-back attitude makes them unlikely to use them. Or a psycho with only a switchblade could be more dangerous than expected.
History: Tell as little or as much as you wish. Some people say they'll reveal their history as the story goes along, and that's fine. If the history of your original character includes a canon character (the TMNT, The Foot, another player) you must state what it is. And if it's another player's character, iron the details out with them.
Some details may change if you play mutiple RPs, and there's no need to state them here, just state in your first post in the new RP what those mild changes are. A character in a basic NYC TMNT RP will be in a different situation than if we're playing a supernatural thriller, or a post-apocoliptic world.
Combat stats (all the numbers you see under profiles) are unneeded, as we don't actually use them much.
Good luck!
