SO IT OCCURS TO ME that I've had Mark's journal sitting around with no information behind it as to who he is. Without even his name anywhere. Wow that was silly of me in a panfandom community! Sorry guys.
So um. What kind of profile info is considered typical/helpful, if that's not too much of a newbie question?

It is vitally important to mention that he's in town on vacation and have you seen his daughter Cheryl?

MORE HELPFULLY you'll want to set his name on his profile, 'cause that makes it easier for people to look it up if they're referring to him or making entry tags or what-have-you. A link somewhere prominent to Mark's application makes it easy for people to look it up and check out who he is, and you can really put anything you want on his profile - I favour interesting teaser stuff, since I'm linking to the more-detailed app anyway. :D

And sometimes people put a disclaimer on a roleplay pup's profile, to the effect of their not using the character for financial profit. It's fallen out of vogue as far as I can tell, but it's still an option.

Also profile-worthy? RAD PICTURES/BANNERS OF RIDIN THE TIGAH. You know you want to.

...No, pretty much anything you want. If he has any special abilities, where he hides the cookie jar... Stuff like that.

...I probably should do that sort of thing for my more... er... unsavory characters... 8|

We've been encouraging people to place an HMD (How's my Driving) or Critic Page at the top of their journal, so that others who may have comments on your character have the ability to express them. However, it is not mandatory.
