For those of you who do not have a reference sheet with lovely pictures of your character, that is totally fine. You can make do with a pure text based sheet.
When it comes to the character sheet on a role-play forum, the process of making one helps you flesh out your character. Filling this out will aid you in coming to terms on the limitations of your character and making them feel believable.
What your sheet will describe is your character's personality, appearance, history, and/or powers/abilities. You can omit any of the specifications.

Distinct Features: Dark-red stripes down his spine, two gold earrings on his left ear, two long ribbon-like whiskers coming from his face, ridged horns, and a fur-like reddish gold mane.

He carries many scars and calluses on his hands. His hair is only slightly long though well-kept. He ties the upper portion into a braid while the lower rests upon his shoulders. He sometimes ties it up with the braid when he plays an instrument. Speaks with a Dwarvish accent. His beard is about half a foot long and tied into two braids. Strong jaw. Looks almost like a human with strong dwarven
Apparel: Depends on the situation. He always wears two golden earrings on his left ear on the ridge.
While looking for a job, Thavan is a bard that travels from inn to inn. As a bard he'll wear mostly loose clothing which consists of a white, leather-threaded shirt, a deep red overcoat, and brown baggy pants. He also wears tall-leather boots that reach up to his knees, arm bands, several leather brown pouches carved with images of dragons.
As a mercenary, he'll arm himself with dark-brown dwarven armor for his shoulders, arms, thighs, and chest. He wears a faded red cape with the image of golden flames. He also wears a metal helmet in the likeliness of a dragon skull. His boots and armbands are fastened with dark-gray metal casings and spikes.
::Personal::
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Strengths: Anything to do with fire
Weaknesses: Floods/Ocean
Flaws: Charmer. Hates bananas.
History: Made this one smaller so you can get to your rending. Hatched on the outskirts of a volcano, Aurorthavan was one of six in his clutch. Most of his siblings were female save for one. At hatching, it is natural for all males within a clutch to fight each other for dominance. He easily overcame his brother using his remaining egg-horn. Till this day, he still retains his egg-horn for he allowed it to harden over time. As he grew up, Aurorthavan hunted across the lava-fields on unsuspecting prey with his sisters. They were alone, as most flame dragon clutches are, since the parents do not look after their young. When Aurorthavan grew into a young adult and his wings exploded open from their casings, he left his sisters to find a home of his own. Attracted by the climates of the south, he flew over many mountains until his long journey brought him to the Neri. His cavern held many minerals within the walls. It was perfect, plenty of gems to keep his hide shining and hard, while plenty of game lived far below. However, he unknowingly nested high above a small dwarven mining outpost that fed its findings to the city of Lemat.
::Abilities::
Flame Mastery
Immunity to Fire
Play instruments such as the guitar, harp, flutes, and lutes.
Able to fight in mid-air.
