If there are any suggestions as to what anyone thinks should be a requirement, please suggest away in the suggestion thread and the moderators will discuss the idea.

Make sure the name hasn't already been used.
There's been a lot of cases where people haven't looked around to see if there's a name that's already being used. Unfortunately, this has been accidentally forgotten few times, but hopefully it won't happen anymore! Same names are very confusing, as people could take it as stealing, or in rare cases, plagiarism if the characters are unusually similar in personality. Please try to avoid similar spellings, too.

Name the character's hybrid halves and the character's form(s).
All hybrids are part human, therefore having some kind of humanoid form. Characters may have up to two forms, humanoid being one of those three forms, giving you 1 more form to choose from. Or you could just make it a mutation of sorts, like my Ita Sharamun. He's half-human and half-domestic feline, and he has feline senses and features that he cannot hide. He only has one form (a mutation), unlike his twin brother, Evanstil Sharamun, who is half-human and half-wild cat. Evanstil is capable of transforming into either a completely human form or a complete black jaguar form. He doesn't have anything for in between. It's an either-or kind of deal for him. With Damian, my half-demon, half-kitsune, he technically has two forms. He was turned to a demon, turning his completely human form into a mutation of a fox and a human. His human form has fox ears and a fox tail, while his other half, the kitsune half, is capable from turning from that demon-humanoid form down into a fox form, which changes as he grows older and wiser. In his version of kitsune (my version that is similar to accuracy), he gains another tail every 50 years. He's only 17, so he only has 1 tail. He won't gain a second tail until he turns 50, and his third will come when he turns 100, and so on and so forth. So go crazy, my guys, just remember that a humanoid form is a requirement.

History requires 5 sentences minimum.
Another one that has been looked over much more than a few times, but I'm hoping we won't overlook this too much more! We'll do our best to help if you can't quite figure out how to elongate the history to 5 sentences.

Personality needs more than 5 adjectives or 3 sentences minimum.
Vague personalities containing simple sentences (2 to 4 words) are disappointing, to say the least, especially when there's not enough negatives or enough positives. Neutral is great, but you should try to even out the numbers, y'know? I've mostly done adjectives due to a lack of creativity, so I'm sure we're accepting of them, just try to make sure they're not repeats of similar meanings! "Energetic," "cheerful," and "bubbly" all literally mean the same thing, though "cheerful" is just barely more specific. My goal each time with adjectives is 8 positives, 6 negatives, and 3 neutrals. I've got a link to a list of 600 personality traits, and I'll send the link riiight over here! -> 600 Personality Traits
