Making a bio for your character is not necessary for playing on the server, but it is quite helpful in that it lets your character use some skills they otherwise could not, and it helps other players further understand them.
Keep in mind that this is not the required format for character bios, but merely a template. Feel free to make yours in your own style, so long as it's decently organized.

In case you're confused as to what some terms on the template mean, below is an explanation for each them, even the ones that are obvious:

"Basic Description" ~ A short general description of who they are, what they do, etc.

"Name" ~ The character's name. Last name is optional.
"Age" ~ How old the character is. Keep in mind that some races, such as Elementals or Golems, would likely be much older than others such as humans.
"Gender" ~ Is the character a boy, or are they a girl? Or are they neither?
"Race" ~ What race are they? Human, elf, Feyori, etc. See the post about races for a full list.
"Racial Trait" ~ Each race (except human) has their own innate ability. Check the post on races to see which one yours has.

"Class" ~ Are they a Warrior? A Ranger? A Mage? See the post on classes for a full list.

"Literacy" ~ Are they able to read/write a specific language?
"Common" ~ It would be a safe guess that anybody can speak common, but some less fortunate may still be unable to read and/or write it.
"Arcane" ~ Magic runes, ancient spellbooks, etc.
"Other Languages" ~ Elvish, Dwarvern, etc

"Legacy Status" ~ Have they reached Legacy Status? See the Legacy post for more information on it. Nobody except for veterans from previous maps and certain special cases would start with this.

"Proficiency" ~ What are they good at? What items or gear can they use effectively and efficiently?

"Restrictions" ~ What tools or equipment is hard, if not impossible, for them to use?

"Special Equipment / IC Features" ~ Whether it be special because it holds significance to them, or because it's an incredibly powerful item, does the character have any item that stands out among the rest? Creative liberties can be applied so that they do not strictly need to be Terraria items. IC features, meanwhile, are important items, marks, or features that cannot be shown due to Terraria limitations (IE scars, non-Terraria accessories, etc)

"Traits" ~ What are some good things about this character? Maybe they're kind and like helping others, or maybe they're quick and powerful.

"Flaws" ~ What are some bad things about this character? Maybe they have a great fear of something, or maybe they're just a jerk. Each character has to have at least as many flaws as they do good traits, three usually being a good amount for both.

"Skills" ~ List the skills they can use here. Regular spells or abilities are not required to be listed, but rather skills from the skill list. Check that post for more info.

"Signature Skill" ~ Do they have a skill unique to them? If so, list it here. (Again, check the skill post for more information on Signatures)

"Synchronized Skills" ~ Is there anyone they are capable of using Syncs with? If so, list which Sync, and who the other person in the duo is. For information on what exactly Syncs are, check the skill post.

"Backstory" ~ Self explanatory, the character's backstory. While generally preferred in a bio, or at least stated to be placed in later, backstories are indeed optional.

"Relationships" ~ Self explanatory, the relationships the character has forged with others. This is definitely optional but it's something you can have that keeps track of where you stand with other characters.

Remember that this is just a suggestion! Do not worry about following this perfectly however we will want to know what their capabilities and flaws are at minimum.
