I'm looking for inspiration of what I should include in both terms of design and information, I also wanna look at some hella nice characters. So, what page of yours have that you made that you love? Any reason its your most favorite beyond it maybe being your favorite character? Did you put a lot of work into it, is it just really just visually appealing to you? I'm putting this in art & creativity because I would argue that page designing is very much so a creative way to spend time.
I've always been proud of my three TF2 character's profiles. (Here's Rémi but Audrey and Dale are both pretty much the same.) Just in case you aren't getting it - they ALL have information on them. Name, birthdate, the lot. You just need to find it 
I'm also proud of my three modern fantasy character's profiles (Here's Adael but again West and Barame are structured the exact same way.) I just had a great time writing information, and I feel like I've not fallen into the 'too much information' trap. There's a couple of secrets and also lots of art I'm proud of!

I agree that profiles count as creative work! In a sense they are collages of both art and writing, right down to the template. I consider mine showcases of appreciation for the work others have done for me as well.
I've spent countless hours working on this profile in particular. A lot of time building up the character over time as well as ceaseless reformatting, reorganizing, rewording, etc. I have a hard time ever being satisfied, but it's probably as close to complete as it'll ever be. I'm pretty happy with it right now!
It's been something of a long term project to make information both presentable and easily accessible. This can be a bit of a trick for those of us who like making our profiles repositories of information. I tend to go overboard as I make them references for myself as well as others. I really like to go in depth with my characters and love sharing those little details.
I would say his Inventory and Attire page is among my favorites on his profile right now. I commissioned a set of item images to give it that RPG feel and am quite fond of the effect combined with formatting. I'm pretty pleased with some of the symmetrical information display I've managed on some of his other pages too.
I'm also pretty proud of the work I've done on Theo. Additionally, while it's getting on in age and I'd like to do more with this profile, I used a page on my character Nick to compile Pokemon conspiracy theories. It's definitely a personal favorite.

These all look really cool!!
Meant to post to this yesterday, but didn't.
Cecille's easily because it's still an ongoing work of progress, what with them being my main active character. And most recently because I gave their profile a Splash Page specifically for Recent Plot Reveals.
I tend to like to obfuscate the lack of information I put up by... Putting up a lot of information (and gifs, and music). Hiding history with a lot of little plot hooks and rumours instead, and copious collapse and mouse-over text. I don't think there's any one page I'm particularly proud of at the moment... I've got one for Test Work for stuff I haven't put on live pages yet, but. Often-times it's my timeline, if only because short 'Twitter' like entries are just easier than full journal entries.

Oh, they're ABSOLUTELY a creative way to spend time - and they help develop your eye for graphic design on the side~
I'm kind of in Tardevil's camp with mine - I've found them to be a constant juggling act figuring out what to present, what to withhold, what to dial back and what to expand in order to make something presentable and appealing for the average drive-by player, as well as somewhere I can stash things for my own reference - all the while trusting other players will be wise if they do uncover any spoilers.
My new 'thing' is centering everything for mobile readers, finding unique fonts that match the character (and present template color scheme) and creating silly headers for each section - and I'll probably be over it again in six months and trying another approach. But so it goes! And new pieces of art start the organization process all over again!
I'm particularly proud of Zeta's - it's a collaboration with a custom template from RaeRae (check her out - she's had this custom template thing DOWN for a while now!) - I like how it's sorted presently, and aside from reshuffling a few pieces of new art, I feel all right leaving it for a bit. Evren is another favorite that I'm in the process of reorganizing along his lines!
In some cases - like AJ - I go ham hiding things behind hovertext, collapse tags and whitespaces if it suits the presentation of the character and the story. Strat is currently my worst-case scenario, while the others have only a light sprinkling of such things - his information is (almost) all there, but I will absolutely make you dig for it.
Between design, journals and the overall presentation, I feel good if I end up telling a story just as much with the site as I do in their respective games!

Hi, yes, I'm quite proud of Tristain here 
Both because I enjoy his concept and because I put a lot of work into his profile.

Personally I'm especially proud of Winter, Evangaline, and Aaron.
Honestly I like all my character pages, though a few still need a little work, but these three especially are tailored to their characters a little more than just the normal template I use. They could all still use some original art and maybe a tweak here or there, but for the most part I'm really happy. They have all the information (and then some) plus being pretty to look at. *gloat gloat gloat*

My favorite page might be Zane.
He came about when I decided I wanted to design my take on a vampire. I did all of his artwork including his weapons and even a transformed state. His profile includes a few write ups, nothing too intense. It's just a fun project. I'm pretty happy with the art I've done for all my characters honestly. It makes my writing feel more like a graphic novel to me.

I worked pretty hard on Abbie's, and I'm kinda proud of the template I made and the arrangement of info.
Also she's just a cutie. :>

Hers is far from finished and isn't the best, but I love the way her stuff is laid out. *shrug*
Idk...I like my gif work with Ari? And her theme songs. Love them.
Definitely Ardira's page for me. I just gave it a little overhaul that it needed drastically, and I love how the artwork splits her information page up now.
I think the theme matches her character well, but I'm still deciding on whether to add more pages to her, or to keep it as minimal as possible.

Definitely Iranican or Fern for me. They're my two oldest characters and the ones I go back to often to add better details in and shift them around, even though I love all of my current characters.
Also because both Ira and Fern can be played in different sorts of genres, romance, adventure, fantasy, and so on.

thank you so much everyone!! Not closing it, I just wanted to give some thanks for everyone whose shown off their profiles!!
Well I'd say my favorite/best/most detailed character would be stela warning she one of my darkest characters thought. If your not alright with that then you could cheek out my other characters.
I also really like Riley!
