How do I go about making my PFS character sheet here on the site?

[Xamusel]

I'd make a character sheet with an alias for my current identity here on the site, but complications arise, namely what's on the sheet in question.

Anyone wish to help me get this over with?

For what I think you're talking about (a digital 'sheet' that is under an alias of your profile, here on paizo.com), most people do one of two things. They either

1) use Hero Lab to create their character, and then copy paste the text export of that character into their alias's description or
2) format a stat block for their character that mimics an entry you would find in the Bestiary.

For an example of the second approach, you can copy paste a creature from here and replace the various fields with your character's own.

Hello Xamusel,

There's a free Character Sheet to download in your "My Downloads" section, near the top of the page. If you're making a character specifically for PFS, you should to look at the guidelines in third few sections of the free Guide to Organized Play.

You can fill that out, and that should be most of the information needed to make your own Character Sheet. If you need help, feel free to PM.

EDIT: Looking at Walter's post, I may have misunderstood what you wanted to do. Did you want to just make a character sheet in general, or were you looking to make a character sheet that stays on this site somewhere?

I was referring to the following sections after the "Character Name" and the faction on the site-based Pathfinder Society character-sheet. They're confusing me right now...

Here's what I mean:
Full Name <-- not sure if that means the player's full name or not
Race <-- Character's race? Human for the player?
Classes/Levels <-- I can guess with this one...
Gender <-- Male or Female?
Size <-- Standard D&D sizes?
Age <-- Is age such an important thing in this? Or is it my age?
Special Abilities <-- Help here as well?
Alignment <-- Not sure if that's my alignment or not...
Deity <-- Real-world religious beliefs?
Location <-- This is another confusing one, mainly because I don't know whether or not to go with my real life location.
Languages <-- English? Common? Basic? <- that last one was a Star Wars joke
Occupation <-- My occupation?
Homepage URL <-- Is this needed? And for what?
How do I do the numbers on these stats?

v
Strength
Dexterity
Constitution
Intelligence
Wisdom
Charisma
Description <-- For the character, right?

That explain it somewhat?

Ah! You can put whatever you want in there. All of it is completely optional. If it's your character's alias, then you can put the Character's stats in there. Of course, your character may not have a webpage, but some people do make some for theirs.

[Xamusel]

Okay, thanks.

Still, I'd at least like a walk-through on how to do this. Could you possibly help? I don't know the first thing about how to do it at all, and I'd like to get it correct, if possible.

For a PFS character here's what I'd do..

Spoiler:

Full Name <-- not sure if that means the player's full name or not Character's name here
Race <-- Character's race? Human for the player? character's race
Classes/Levels <-- I can guess with this one...
Gender <-- Male or Female? whichever your character is
Size <-- Standard D&D sizes? yup, small or medium for PFS characters
Age <-- Is age such an important thing in this? Or is it my age?character's age, not so important
Special Abilities <-- Help here as well? if your witch has a fly hex, or things of that nature
Alignment <-- Not sure if that's my alignment or not... character's alignment
Deity <-- Real-world religious beliefs? nope, your character's deity, if any
Location <-- This is another confusing one, mainly because I don't know whether or not to go with my real life location. up to you, where does your character live in PFS?
Languages <-- English? Common? Basic? <- that last one was a Star Wars joke character's known languages
Occupation <-- My occupation? character's craft, perform, profession if any
Homepage URL <-- Is this needed? And for what? don't worry about this

Description <-- For the character, right? yup. In here you can add a physical description, what they look like, what gear they have, what games they've played -- whatever

As far as filling those out for your actual account (not a character alias) -- be creative / humorous, it's all up to you. It's just like a normal forum identity on other sites.

Okay, thanks for the help. This is Xamusel, by the way.

Another option is to link to a PDF version that I store on Google Drive on your character profile.
