I'm looking for better ways to get my characters across in words.
What are some categories and fields you've customized for character pages that helped you?
Especially looking for questions to answer for characters that can apply to most genres.
Thanks!
Style of speech, self-image, outlook, what they're proud of, what they're ashamed of, fears, sexuality, dress, likes, dislikes
Categories:
Health
Education
Languages
Wardrobe
Fields
Voice
Scent
Moral Alignment
Birthplace
Tab: Tidbits and relationships to other characters
Fields:
-Inworld facts about the character to write down rumours and general knowledge others have of them, not necesarily relevant to the plot.
-Secrets they have
-Secrets that are kept from them
-Relations to other characters this is were I put down the dynamics they have with other characters as well as their opinion and feelings on those characters.
Reputation (I guess that's similar to inworld facts above)
Personal quotes
Anecdotes (great if you don't know how to put the personality in words other than just telling a story lol)
