My intention is actually to just get an idea of a person's writing style, while putting a limit as to content. Personally, I gain more insight on a person's gaming and writing style when limiting the amount of nouns, adverbs, adjectives, etc... they may use.
I know this is going back a ways, but this comment baffles me - not because it's a bad idea, but because 100 words is such a small amount. You can only list facts in and demonstrate an ability to construct a comprehensible sentence in 100 words, pretty much, so there is next to no room for style. I could understand 200, but if I received a character concept only 100 words long, I'd be wary. I want the special snowflakes to preen their feathers in their RTJ. Then I know not to add them to the game.
Sharpe's Tiger @ 109:
Richard Sharpe avoids the tyrannical Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill and endeavours to rescue a British officer from under the nose of the Tippoo of Mysore.
But in fleeing Hakeswill, Sharpe enters the exotic and dangerous world of the Tippoo. An adventure that will require all of his wits just to stay alive, let alone save the British army from catastrophe.
Soldier, hero, rogue – Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.

And Ce'Nedra - a wilful young princess who refuses to believe in sorcery., but is terrified that Garion will die in the coming confrontation . . .
