Superhero Character Profile Template v.2

Some time ago I made one of these, but it's now outdated and woefully inadequate. Plus, I'm bored. These two reasons combined, I have now created a new template for creating a bio for a superhero or villain character. Here's a rundown of the info you're asked to provide, in case there's any confusion.

Alias: This is your character's superhero or villain name, the one everybody knows them by. Example: Batman. Fairly simple.

Legal Name: This is the name your character was given at birth. Example: Bruce Wayne. Again, fairly simple.

Morality: At its simplest, this is whether your character is a hero or a villain. You could also put "rogue" or "neutral" or something similar if your character doesn't fit into a black-and-white moral system. Alternatively, you could also use the D&D alignment system (Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic Good, Neutral or Evil) if that's what floats your boat.

Inspiration: Was your character inspired by an existing one, or draws from traits of a few? If so, it doesn't hurt to pay a little homage and mention them here (and it might decrease your chances of getting sued by a slim margin, so that's a plus).

Gender: Self-explanatory. What bits does your character carry in his or her pants?

Age: Also self-explanatory. HOw long has it been since your character shot out of his or her mother's hole of life?

Sexual Orientation: Because these days, everybody wants to know.

Occupation: If your character has a job outside of superheroism or villainy, put it here. If not, you're more than welcome to skip it, or put "none" or "N/A," or simply put "superhero" or "supervillain."

Height: Self-explanatory. If it varies for some reason, you can mention that as well (example: Bruce Banner's height versus the Hulk's height).

Weight: Ditto height.

Hair Color: Fairly obvious. This can be natural or dyed color, or you could mention both. Up to you.

Hair Type: Long, short, messy, neat, slicked-back, spiky, greasy, bald, thinning, gravity-defying (mostly for anime characters), etc.

Eye Color: Again, self-explanatory. If your character's eye color changes, as some are wont to do, mention it here. And maybe take a Mary Sue test, just to be safe...

Skin Color: Be as politically correct as you want to be. But I'd advise against slurs.

Race/Species: Human, Half-human half-animal, extraterrestrial, demon, angel, elf, smurf, etc.

Nationality: With what nation or region does your character identify? Be as specific as you want to be.

Voice: Is there anything special about your character's voice? Is it high or deep? Smooth or gruff? Do they have a notable accent?

Distinguishing Features: Scars, tattoos, particularly prominent facial features, facial hair, pointed ears... Basically, anything else that could be used to identify your character.

Costume: If your character wears a costume, describe it briefly here. If not, then at least describe their fashion choices.

Powers: Here's where you put actual superpowers, like super strength, flight, invisibility, laser vision... You know, the fun stuff. My definition of a superpower is anything that your character can do that no normal human being could do.

Power Limitations: Many characters' powers are based on certain requirements. Does your character need sunlight to access their powers? Can they only use their powers when they're stressed out? Are their powers tied to a specific item that needs to be in their possession to use them?

Abilities: Things your character can do that aren't actual powers. Skilled fighter, plays piano, master tactician, highly agile, martial arts expert... These are things your character does really well, but that a normal human being still has the potential to do.

Weapons: Does your character fight with a trademark weapon, like a sword, staff, bow or gun? Put it here.

Gadgets/Tech: If your character has other fun toys, like grappling hooks, scanners, night vision goggles, cool vehicles, etc, then mention them here.

Physical Weaknesses: These are things that can physically harm or disable your character, or that cancel out their powers. Think kryptonite, or fire, or the color yellow. (DC references for the win! )

Mental/Emotional Weaknesses: Here's where you mention character flaws that get in the way. Arrogance, impulsiveness, lack of confidence, inability to take things seriously, bad team player, etc. You should have at least one thing here. If you don't, take a Mary Sue test.

Primary Personality Traits: Briefly describe your character's most prominent character traits. Is he brave and kind? Rough? Cocky? A comedian? A flirt? Coarse and angry? Sweet and playful? Reclusive and introverted?

Likes and Dislikes: Pretty Obvious. Cosmopolitan stuff. Just a few things that make your character seem more human.

Habits and Quirks: Again, just little things that make your character more human. These can be good habits or bad ones.

Fears: Everybody's afraid of something, even superheroes. What one or two things does your hero find harder to face than their arch nemesis? You can, of course, put "loss of loved one" here, but that one's usually a given, and it's kind of old and cliched and I can't help but roll my eyes every time I see it...

Motivation: Why is your character a hero? Or what drives him to commit acts of evil? You can put a whole origin here if you want, or you can just mention it briefly (responsibility, pride, money, insanity, power lust, revenge...).

Family, Romantic Interests, Allies, Rivals, Enemies: Fairly self-explanatory, just fill in any individuals who qualify. Note that rivals can be friendly rivals, or someone your character doesn't like but doesn't actively oppose, like a pair of heroes who don't get along but who will work with one another if they have to, or a couple of villains who both want to rule the world.

I tried to make this template very customizable, so you can add or subtract information based on what you think is relevant. It's made specifically for original characters, but I imagine you could use it for fan characters as well. If that's the case, you might want to add "Fandom" as a an info point, so we all know that your character is a Marvel or DC FC, or whatever. If you use this, do please link back to me. I don't want to take any credit or anything, I just like to see what people create; I always love seeing new superheroes!
