no faults to the word meanings. Although, as in Thai, some languages have words that may mean
more than one thing depending on how the voice is used. Be sure to explain to the reader what your
character is saying; ie: "Egocan non dico vos quotiens Ego adepto dementis." ("I can not to say you as
often as I to obtain insanity"). Have it in parenthesis directly after your character has spoken the

Strengths: Give your character strength; what makes him/her stronger inside? Maybe s/he can run
in track but can't walk a marathon? Your character can write a brilliant novel on the computer but
can't form words with a pen and paper? Your character knows sixteen different languages, how to
build a super computer, and create a time traveling device but cannot ride a bicycle (see Weakness)?

Weakness: Everyone has to have a weakness--some reason why they are not a powerful God. If
your character does not have a weakness then the story becomes fake and the reader will not wish to
continue the story because the reality of it has disappeared. Make sure your character has as
many weaknesses as strengths. As seen in Strengths, perhaps your character knows sixteen
different languages, how to build a super computer, and create a time traveling device but cannot ride
a bicycle? Maybe your character can communicate with animals (see Strengths) but cannot
communicate with people very well?

Good Qualities: What makes your character good in heart? Remember, even pure evil has some
good in it; Satan (in Biblical beliefs) used to be one of the most favored angels of Jesus Christ but had

hostage in a war and will stand up to the kidnappers and be shot rather than cower in fear
(patriotic)? Perhaps s/he has been raised in a very bad family but came out never touching a
cigarette, drugs, or alcohol and never received any piercing or tattoos?

Bad Habits: Does your character bite his/her nails until they bleed? Does s/he chew on his/her lower
lip when thinking? Maybe your character can't help but pick his/her nose in public? Maybe s/he is
almost always sexually turned on and is easy because of it?

Normal Talents: This is connected to the Supernatural Powers & Ability category. What makes your
character different from everyone else? This is where you are allowed to have funBUT KEEP IT
REALISTIC! Even if your story is science-fiction or fantasy, you still have to make your story
believable. Does s/he have luck when playing Texas Holdem (poker)? Is your character a wiz at
computers? Can s/he read a four hundred page book in less than four hours? Maybe s/he has a
photographic memory? Or perhaps s/he is so good with numbers s/he doesnt ever require the use of
a calculator?

Supernatural Powers & Abilities: This goes hand-in-hand with the Normal Talents category. This
is where you state what your character is or what his/her supernatural ability or power may be. If
your character is not supernatural, this category can be left blank. Either way, you must remember to
KEEP IT REALISTIC! Even if your story is science-fiction or fantasy, you still have to make your
story believable. Even supernatural creatures from other planets are realistic enough to
believe. Remember, you want your reader to understand what youre writing aboutnot be turned
away if your character has a godlike syndrome. Perhaps your character has the unconscious effort to
suspend time or perhaps your character can ignite fire with the flick of a wrist? If your character has
the ability to fly at night and when the sun sets wings appear, that would be considered supernatural
(wings would be mentioned beneath the Weight/Body Structure/Physical Faults category). Maybe
your character can shape shift into another creature or character? Perhaps s/he is
telekinetic/psychokinetic (ability to move things with your mind), telepathic (ability to read and control
minds), or has the ability/power to create fire without using anything but your hands or mind? Maybe
s/he can go invisible? Supernatural is anything that is Super and Natural (like Superman). It
needs to still be natural but more superb than our natural.

Temperament: This is where you explain your character's basic personality. Is your character an
introvert or an extrovert? Is s/he a class clown or a shy book worm? Was your character born with
the heredity genes to be a wild-driven party-lover? Perhaps s/he is difficult to deal with? Maybe s/he
is easy when it comes to sexual activity. Is your character understanding of others? Or maybe s/he
was held back in education by a learning disorder?

Background: This has the largest writing section available because this is where you are going to
explain your character's life story up to the point where s/he is first mentioned in the story (though
some writers still continue the background throughout the character's appearance in the said
tales). Even if your character is a 3 year old child, you still explain his/her background; how old was
the child when s/he learned to speak or walk? This is where you can have as much fun as you would
like with your character, but again KEEP IT REALISTIC! Perhaps your character is a 16 year old
orphan; what happened to make him/her an orphan and explain his/her life up until s/he enters the
story. Maybe your character is a senior citizen; explain most of his/her life if it is required for the
story.
