Thanks! I think this if better for me, as my planned stories are more... short, funny(or at least trying to be) one-offs and comics, not long stories. Plus, most of them doesn't really have any "interesting" backstories other than growing up in a more-or-less-regular family...

nikkissippi121 [2011-01-27 05:58:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I really liked your longer form, but I'm the kind of writer who develops characters in stages. I usually start out with a somewhat basic outline, begin writing, and then add onto it from there, so this is really helpful!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ThirdPotato In reply to nikkissippi121 [2011-01-27 09:13:19 +0000 UTC]

I totally agree. XD Usually I'll start small, fill out a few basic details: General personality, a little backstory, and some physical characteristics. The more I flesh them out, the more I revisit the form and plug things in, often changing it throughout the years as the character develops. There's no one all-inclusive form, afterall writing, character design, and drawing will always be a life long process

You are made of awesomeness.
Really, this is just so useful. It helps you make your character believable and because it's so complete it keeps them consistent. It's aso a great way to know if you're creating a Mary Sue. XD
This must have taken forever to make... really, it's just brilliant!

this is really great piece of work 8) It'll take me hours just to answer the questions, or to create answers for them...not to mention writing them down so I can remember them
how long did it take you to do this? And what gave you the idea to make something like this? I've seen ffs here...photos...drawings...but never a char profile form

ThirdPotato In reply to srkfan [2010-11-26 17:47:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much for the kind comment! n.n Actually, they have different versions of these things in various "character creation" sites and books. I remember as a little kid even, wanting to do something like this for my characters. Way back when it was just the typical: Name, age, height, weight, personality, and story. XDDDD I found a really great form in Dr. Linda Edelstein's "Writer's Guide to Character Traits" that was the most extensive I had seen yet. This form, or rather the longer version, was a development off of Linda's. I have been slowly adding to it for years now, every time I come up with a character who has a trait I haven't yet introduced to the form, I find myself having to update it! LoL

And if you're interested, I have an interactive form which you can save, edit, and fill out easily here: [link] though it's not the abridged version XDDD Hope you enjoy!

NatTheWriter In reply to ??? [2010-08-31 20:08:28 +0000 UTC]

This is amazingly useful. @_@ I needed something like this! So far I've filled two or three sections.

"Physical Characteristics" is definitely something I'm having trouble with. xD I'm so used to drawing my character as a cartoon that it's hard to lay a finger on exactly what her physical features are--what kind of nose, ears, mouth, eyes, that sort.

What does it mean by "expressions", by the way? The expressions the character most frequently makes?

ThirdPotato In reply to NatTheWriter [2010-08-31 21:41:22 +0000 UTC]
