Basic Biographical Information
Name or Aliases: What is the character's actual name, what do they go by, what aliases do they use if they don't want the public to know their identity, etc.
Age: Self explanatory.
Physical Description: A basic visual description of the character, so that other people can have an idea what the people that their own characters are interacting with look like, which is very important seeing as most characters should be able to know this much about another on sight. A picture is fine, but an actually written description would be preferred to avoid confusion. Then again, why not both? Although you can put the physical description in a bullet point format, it is preferred that you put it into complete sentences.
Personality: At least a brief description of how the character thinks, can be expected to behave in certain situations, particular quirks or mannerisms that they possess, etc. This is important so that mods and other roleplayers can know how a character will generally act in the RP. Your character's personality can always fluctuate and change over their experiences, but any major changes should be sent towards a mod for a quick approval of such changes.
Personal Assets: A summary of what sort of their approximate financial situation, any notable possessions that would be important to mention, what sort of home they live in, etc. This is so that characters can be held to act more or less within their means, support whatever lifestyle they live, and will be evaluated to see if it can be justified. These can be subject to change over the course of their in-character experiences.
Backstory: At least a brief overview of the character's past, describing any important details as to how they became the person they are. Anything notable that shaped their personality or world view, how they obtained any powers they possess, what sort of consequences led them to have their assets, etc.. If in-character experiences justify major character growth to the point of the character being resubmitted to reflect those changes, a brief overview of the events in question and a link to their old profile page would be appreciated here.
Combat Information
Combat Methods: A list of your character's general methods and forms of combat, such as certain weapons, types of attacks or magic, etc.
Feats: This is your character's strongest parts in combat, aka what they excel at. Examples would include elemental magic, swords or any other type of weaponry, to more general things such as strategy or detecting enemy patterns.
Flaws: This is your character's combat weaknesses, such as attacks from certain elements or type of weaponry (or just magic or physical damage as a whole), to smaller things such as a weakness to certain enemy behaviors, or a lack of defense in certain areas, such as how a healer may not be that strong on the physical side.
Abilities: Any certain skills/powers that they may have should be put into the table. Some examples would be the ability to receive a temporary strength boost, the power to send a holy beam from their sword, or any magical spell. The description should include in specifics how the skill works along with any justifications for why they would have the skill. A good place to find ideas is the Superpower Wiki. Magic spells should be explained in detail within the skill table and be labeled in the skill name as Magic - [Insert Spell Name here]. For the sake of the mods' sanity, it's best if you list some sort of time cooldown for each of your skills if applicable

(Score rationale references are within the comments of this thread. PLEASE USE THE COMMENTS OF THE THREAD TO DETERMINE WHAT SCORE YOUR STATS SHOULD BE!)
Primary Strength
To encompass the uppermost limits of one's own physical body, generally measuring the weight of that which they could move using their full strength and in perfect health, without being exhausted or suffering from damage that would limit the body.
Whether or not modified by technology, magic, or some other means so long as it involves direct physical contact with one's actual body in order to apply force in some manner. A higher strength score will allow for a character to not only carry heavier objects, but also generally hit harder with their direct attacks.
Secondary Strength
This is how much they can lift with means other than their own physical body and direct contact, when pushed to their absolute limits; likely using some form of telekinesis-like application with ones powers (telekinetic does not necessarily mean psychic, but rather simply the ability to move something from a distance). Most characters will have a secondary strength.
Secondary Strength uses the same numerical stats as primary strength, simply substitute relevant keywords like “direct contact” where applicable to determine the size of a target; the range or area of affect that can be moved should be specified either here on the chart, or anywhere else on the character sheet (such as the Skills table if the secondary strength is a skill).
Movement Speed
How fast a character can move at their top speed. Also, please make a note on how quickly it takes in order to reach this speed, and for how long they can maintain top speed. Teleportation should be factored into their movement speed as a maximum of your character's movement speed, with their non-teleportation movement speed being the minimum of your character's movement speed.
Reflex Speed
How fast can a character perceive and respond to actions as they happen, though it may require conscious effort to focus on and avoid being harmed by fast moving attacks. Please try to be specific as to where exceptionally fast persons fall within their stat number, especially at the Superhuman level (6) and above.
Attack Speed
In a period of time, how quickly a character can throw attacks at an opponent in either melee combat, or ranged combat (though not including the use of fully automatic firearms, as they only require that the trigger be held down and is not an accurate gauge of the combatant's skill. Fully automatic firearms should just be listed under the Weaponry section of the chart.)
Intelligence
A rough approximation as to how intelligent a character is, measuring how much information they can store, have stored, and can process.
Wisdom
A rough measure of how easily a character is able to assess a situation, and the people they meet, in order to come to decisions.
Mental Willpower
A combination of durability and stamina, but applied to the mind's ability to ignore pain or stress. What would it take to break his, or her, or its will to continue? Also, powers that might potentially attempt to influence a character's mind or emotions can be resisted with this stat.
Physical Willpower
Upon being injured, this applies to the ability to temporarily ignore the adverse effects of damage to their body, for a duration similar to their stamina. This can also be used to measure one's body's resistance to toxins, contaminants, and other harmful elements not necessarily measured in raw damage output.
Durability
Ability to withstand PHYSICAL damage, or what sort of forces would be required to inflict harm to this character. Please remember that it can be possible to be killed in other ways not directly associated with direct, raw damage.
Magic Resistance
Ability to withstand MAGICAL damage, or what sort of forces would be required to inflict harm to this character through magical damage. Is measured directly against a combination Magic Skill and the description of the spell in use when two characters fight. Please remember that it can be possible to be killed in other ways not directly associated with direct magic damage.
Weakness
Does your character have any notable weaknesses, or vulnerabilities to any particular kind of attack? What would be the most effective way for another character to fight this one? This is especially important, if not mandatory, for characters who possess notably high Durability. Remember, not only is there ALWAYS someone who is able to hurt you or exploit your weakness in some way, but there should also ideally be some way that ANYONE with enough time to legitimately prepare can do so.
Recovery
The ability to naturally recover from damage after it has been dealt, how quickly can regular injuries be considered to be healed. Please note that, even characters who are notable fast at healing will likely have to deal with the consequences of being injured mid-battle, and will most likely require rest in order to properly heal. If they are able to heal themselves through magic or other means, be sure to factor that in as well, whether it turns into an average score or to a minimum and maximum score.
Fighting Stamina
The duration of which a character can fight before they need to rest for an extended duration. Please note how long this duration is. Characters who are exhausted are incapable of using their other stats to their full potential, especially willpower (which can only ignore injuries as long as they have stamina).
Melee Skill
How skilled or experienced is a combatant in battle, when fighting at close range using their body or weapons designed for direct contact.
Ranged Skill
How skilled or experienced is a combatant in battle when fighting at a distance, using projectiles of any sort to fight (ex. bow and arrow, magical projectiles).
Accuracy/Range
An approximate guess on how far away an opponent can fight from. How close does a target need to be in order for a combatant to reliably hit, and what is the distance that a target needs to be before it can be considered outside of one's attack range.
Skill Variety
The amount of ways a character can make use of their skills both in and out of combat, and the variety of ways that a character can use such skills.
In an out-of-character context, this is a rough gauge on how many applications, or maybe even variations/associations you can draw from your rolled powers before we will call you out on it. What's important is that you explain why/how you think you should be able to pull off what it is you're attempting to get from your powers.
Weaponry
Any sort of weapons this character has ready access to and uses frequently in combat. Although there won't be any mathematical calculations for the damage of the weaponry, the quality of the weaponry should be described in detail.
Special / Other
Any other additional details you feel are relevant but don't really fit in other areas of the table or sheet.
Total
A total of all the scores of each stat in order to give a ballpark estimate of a character's power.
