CHARACTER PROFILING

By Neoshaman; Introduction by Rio

Creating A Character
Creating a character is easy but creating a believable one who the player can empathize with and relate to is a
bit more complicated. To resolve this, the most obvious answer is to create a character profile.

Profiles come in handy, allowing you to lay the foundations of a character with depth that you can easily
reference and guide your story. For example, the character of the person dictates how he or she will act in
certain situations.

There is a Text Document (1KB) and a Word document (23KB) where you can create your character in depth
by listing their personality and other attributes in detail.

The document includes:

name, gender, race, age, birthday, height, measurement, beliefs/religion, hobby, basic description, astrological
sign, Chinese zodiac sign, blood type.

Current info: family background, birthplace, home, history, possessions, pets.

Physical description: hairstyle, body, eyes, physical condition, marks, clothing

Personality: likes, dislikes, fears, goals, occupation, hobbies, favorite food, least favorite food, prized
possession, vernacular (way of speaking), character behavior, aptitude, social and other pressure/problems,
relationships, positive and negative characteristics, personality, other.

Abilities: physical, magical, other.

If your character does not have an attribute in a certain category such as magical, just leave it blank, type
"none", or erase it from the profile list. Remember: just because it's listed doesn't mean the person has to have
it.
