Great to know you like the features. It's so big, in fact, that you'll probably have trouble filling the entire thing for any single character. Complex, interesting fleshed out characters drive the story, a good story with weak characters falls apart quick.

A character sheet template allow the player to get their own personal sheets for playing character games. I find it fun reading what you all are up to with your own stories!

This post was originally posted via chat: Deleting content will cause content on this and all subsequent pages to move closer to the front of the universe, creating a bizarre instance in the space-time continuum where previously-saved hyperlinks that others have used may no longer point at their correct destinations. This is generally undesirable. Are you sure you want permanently delete both the original chat message and the referenced post? I have posted this character profile here to aid in character development. The purpose of using a character profile is to flesh out a character who is little more than a 'sketch', or who has not had much thought put into him or her. This profile was written primarily for literary purposes and not roleplay purposes; however, it is easily adapted for roleplay purposes, and has a roleplay counterpart which you are able to find if you dig deeply enough into which is slightly altered. If you wish to use this profile, or portions of it copied and pasted directly, as the standard skeleton in a roleplay of yours, please credit me as the profile creator with my name clearly visible. No one likes to see their work stolen. You may also download a copy in Word 2007 format from of my website which may be reproduced for personal or classroom use only. It's on the bottom right hand side of the page. Another note upon the use of character profiles: ninety-nine chances out of a hundred that your readers will never read or see, or need to see, your completed character 'profiles'. They may not know the vast majority of the information you will write and create about your characters. In fact, it is probably best if they do not. Nevertheless, the use of the profile as a resource for you as the writer cannot be understated. It is an aid for you when you have writer's block, and must wonder what the character would do, say, or think in any given situation or moment - as one's history and beliefs will always be a significant influence in one's decisions - or when something comes up where you need an answer from the character's point of view. It may also be best to fill out the profile as if you are the character himself. Without further ado, I here present the character profile which I myself have created and refined, with instructions and prompts throughout, over the past year and a half. Role: For example, general role, or story-specific role. The former, things such as 'main character', 'main character's best friend', 'bad guy', 'mentor to protagonist', etc. The latter, things such as 'detective', 'older wizard', 'disgruntled ex-boyfriend', 'lieutenant', etc. Full Name: The character's full, complete, and legal name. Name at birth: Same thing, but only if it was different when the character was born, i. Preferred name: What name the character prefers to be addressed by. For example, foreign exchange student Yeonggwang goes by 'Paul', or Nicholas goes by 'Nicky'. It may also be that someone is referred to primarily by their surname, or by their complete, unabbreviated forename. In a realistic story, this would be using the Gregorian calendar unless your character's religion or culture dictate use of the lunar calendar. In a non-realistic story, the calendar will depend on your universe. Sex: Male or female. What is his or her sexual orientation? This may be 'heterosexual', 'homosexual', 'transgender', or whatever pleases the character in question. It may also include nationality, or ethnic group. Hispanic or Latino status should be denoted here. Skin Tone: What is the character's skin tone? This may be 'dark brown', 'light brown', 'olive', 'pale', 'albino', or perhaps even some fantastical hue for a non-realistic character. Height: The character's height, in the most accepted unit. This may be realistic, inches or centimeters, or may be specific to the universe or culture. Weight: The character's weight, in the most accepted unit. This may be realistic, inches or centimeters, or may be specific to the universe or culture. Build: What is the character's build? Slender, athletic, frail, sturdy, stocky, muscular, or plump may be some of the adjectives that come to mind. Eyes: What is the character's eye color? Be specific without using purple prose. For instance, 'light brown', or 'hazel', or 'black', or 'pale blue' would be acceptable. If the character wears contacts that change the natural eye color, both colors should be noted and explained. Hair: What is the character's hair color? Be specific without using purple prose. Also describe the texture, thickness, length, style, and any other significant attributes, such as whether it is oily or particularly shiny. If it is dyed, has highlights, or otherwise has unnatural alterations, those should be noted and explained. Clothes Style: What style of clothes does the character wear? With very few exceptions such as a story that takes place over one day, or in a prison or boarding school where students wear uniforms , your character will not be wearing the same outfit throughout the story. Does your character follow fashion trends? What materials, colors, and type of clothes does the character wear? Where does he or she obtain the clothes? Are they ethnic or traditional clothes? Is the character promiscuous or modest? Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc. Appearance: Describe the character's appearance without reiterating anything already said.

Past Occupation s : What past occupation s has the character had? Did he or she have multiple concurrent occupations or jobs? How long did each last, and when was the character employed?

What organizations is he or she actively supporting or participating in, and what organizations is the character loosely affiliated with? What sorts of activities and affiliations has the character had in the past and why are they no longer current? Hobbies: What sorts of hobbies does the character engage in?

If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me, as I am always open to improvement and revision. Revision - to see again. Blessings and peace, Ylanne Sorrows I think you kinda neglected the personality aspects. What is the character's approach on life? Are they cautious, devil-may-care, laid-back, over-analytic? How do they react to other people? Are they pleasant, friendly, sarcastic, hot-tempered, cold, overly helpful? How do they feel about themselves? Are they confident, complete, unhappy, unsatisfied, self-critical? And so on and so forth. Dear Chfutzin, Yes, it is very true! I did indeed neglect the personality aspects, and that was very intentional. I will add another post on developing personality in characters in a separate area of the forums. A brief word on personality: I find that too often, especially in roleplay, when writers disclose personality, they tend to do one or more of the following not necessarily, but fairly often : 1. List attributes or words, which doesn't really mean anything. Follow a cliche archetype or stereotype, such as shy but kind, or mean on the outside, or emo cutter, without digging much deeper than the cardboard cutout. Contradict themselves by providing very contradictory aspects. She's distant to people who don't know her, but very protective of her friends. What's that supposed to mean? Therefore, I usually do not require personality in profiles in roleplays I write; I often refuse to write it in profiles for roleplays that I join. Nevertheless, personality is an incredibly important aspect of a character, and you are right to notice that it is not mentioned or included in this profile! If you like, I will personally send you a PM as soon as I have the post up explaining some of my ideas about personality and how to develop a unique, realistic, and dynamic one for the well-developed character. Thanks for the feedback! Blessings and peace, Ylanne RolePlayGateway is a site built by a couple roleplayers who wanted to give a little something back to the roleplay community.

Perhaps even a feature that could connect the names like a family tree would be interesting too. They rely on experiences rather than speculation, and make decisions based on these.
