To confirm your real life age, just type **@birthday**. Note that this is different from your character's age, which you set up with the biography.
 ===== Appearance =====
 Next, define how your character is seen by others. The most important things to fill in are:
-  * Description -- what your character looks like (keep in mind that [[recom size|giants]] may get stares and sore feet and [[verboten tech|weapons laws]] may get enforced)
+  * Description -- a paragraph or a few with good details on what your character looks like (keep in mind that [[recom size|giants]] may get stares and sore feet and [[verboten tech|weapons laws]] may get enforced)
     * **@desc me =**<Your description here.>
     * **{nl}** can be included to make paragraph breaks. Use this instead of hitting ENTER; the @desc command should be all one line.
