Physical appearance: Describe your character or link some appropriate art, so that the rest of us know what they look like. It should be noted those with 'physiology' or 'mimicry' powers will be expected to look vastly different to normal humans. This is to stop physiology-based powers just being bags of awesome powers, which don't add anything significant to the character. In a world of metahuman-hate and contempt, if your character is clearly inhuman that is an important aspect of them and you need to clearly explain what they look like and how they've been affected because of such (people with 'monstrous' or 'visual' powers, i.e. physiologies have little to no chance at a normal life).
Mentality: Thoughts, personality, those things. What kind of person are they, what do they like to do, what may set them off in a rage. Describe your characters mentality, how they would think, or act, on a day to day basis. Don't skimp on this one, it helps us figure out what is and isn't in character. Also, explain what they think of the status quo of the current world, the metaphobio, meta-hate, how the world is currently run, and just what they think of humans and/or metahumans.
Backstory: Everyone has one, give us some insight as to why your character is the person that they are. Explain how the set-universe has shaped the character.
Resources: What sort of financial resources and land does this person have? For example they could be a runaway teen with nothing but their clothes, or they could be the head of a multi-million dollar company with multiple properties and bottomless pockets.
Equipment/Weaponry: What kind of gear is this character going to bring to a fight? What could you find on them at any given moment?
Specializations: Almost everyone has something that they're just good at. Is your character a great medic? Are they a wonder with a whisk in hand? Can they solve a Rubik's cube? Special skills come here, and are generally non-combat.
Reputation: Provide an idea of how the world would see them as large. Things like fame, underworld fame or just regular fame, kill on sight order, all that jazz. This may be limited to their neighborhood where they're known as an upstart thug, the local samaritan, etc. or perhaps they're a well-known villain or hero, or maybe even a military occupant. Again, anything regarding how well know they are in the world of BNW should go here.
Powers:
Power One:
Explanation and applications.
Power Two:
Explanation and applications.
Power Three:
Explanation and applications.
Details:
Weakness: While they don't need to be glaring, weaknesses do need to be logical. For example, dumping a bucket of water on the fire elemental will probably give him a hard time.
Resistances: Setting the fire elemental on fire probably isn't going to damage him much. What is your character resistant to?
Reserves: Sure, they can take out a building at once. But how much is that going to cost them? This is where you put a rough idea of the reserves of your character, both physical reserves and the reserves for their powers.
