1. Concept: As long as 2 sentences or as short as mad lib: __Adjective__ __Noun__

2. History: Should answer the question "How did your character get to be the concept you just named in #1." No more than two paragraphs. Very top-level sort of review. don't go into tortured detail because TUT gives broad latitude for you to fill in the spaces in your head and have them be "canon" unless they're materially interfering with the game I'm trying to run or others are trying to play in.

3. Flavor & Flaws: Should be the rest of the idea, "Now this character is definitely the concept named in #1, but you might be surprised at..." - this can be longer than history because stuff that is likely to surprise me about a concept is the stuff I definitely need to know. Flaws are often not obvious based on concept and history, which is why they go here, too.

4. Location Draw: Why is your character in Detroit despite (or because of) the complete lack of mages around in the last couple decades? What do your character's mage superiors and/or peers think about them coming here? What is your character doing to prepare themself for the Walk Into The Unknown? Include immediate and longer term goals - however your character would define it.

5. Intended Play Style: Including something about what you expect or anticipate needing from staff/other players, and something about how you expect your character to act in regards to local mage society (chantry/construct, etc). Examples: "Intensely physical but NPC-directed" or "research heavy inquiry, may need f'real staff support" or "secret social powerhouse, very spy vs. spy" or whatever.

6. Mage stuff: I need a little about avatar, paradigm, focus, magickal style.

7. Story spectrum: from "my very most favoritest story/themes that could possibly be run" down to "I will not participate in this kind of thing if it is run and might walk away from my character if it became a thing I couldn't avoid" with stops for "this is my bread and butter" and "I'd rather not but it's a MUSH whatayado."

8. Essence: Link or attach anything, a youtube video, a picture of a cat, a poem, anything that you feel communicates the essence of your character. It may not be prose."

9. Stats. (There is no section for stat justifications; if I can't see from the combination of 1-3 why you have the dots on your sheet you're doing it wrong.)
