WriteWorld: Character Sheets and character creation → :

When creating a character, there’s a lot of questions you ask yourself. Whether it’s an original character or one you’ve been playing for a long time, using a character sheet to get to know your character better can always be a nice idea. With it’s help, you’ll be able to think about things you didn’t necesarily thought about, and ask some important questions to yourself that might activate your character’s voice, or help you to get your muse back with them. Everyone has their favorite character sheets, some people prefer to have a lot of questions, some others like it a bit more vague, so here’s a masterlist of the character sheets I found on various websites and found quite interesting, plus some other things that could be used to help you see, for example, how other character view yours.

Blank Character Sheet (+370 Questions)

Abridged Character Sheet (100 Questions)

Big-Ass Character Sheet

Character Creation Form

Character Sheet by Jody Hedlund

Creating a character Bio Sheet

Character Analysis Worksheet

100 Character Development questions for writers

Character Chart for Fiction Writers

A Character Chart By Charlotte Dillon

Fiction Writer’s Character Chart

Detailed Character Sheet

Character Sheet Template

Character Twenty-Question Worksheet

In-Depth Character Sheet

Character Worksheet

Character Interview Sheet (First Person)

Background Questionnaire (First Person)

Characters Perceptions (How do other people perceive your character?)

With these sheets, you could also try to find your character’s Jung and Enneagram Type or use the Moral Alignment tool. All of these things can be really useful to get a better grip on a character.

Then, if you’re trying to create a character, and do not have many ideas, or get stuck, I’d suggest for you to roam around TVTropes, which gives you a lot of tropes used for character creation. Maybe you could try to mix a few of these and create an original character?

Or, if you’re a skillful writer and know how to make your character different from another, make a list of characters in fiction you happen to find interesting and why. Try to keep it short. Then, maybe, try to mix and match things from two or three characters, take a character and change their backstory, to see what would change. Play with them to inspire yourself and create something new, original and truly yours.

Oh, and here’s a little guide to Mary-Sues and OCs, just in case you want to make sure your character isn’t going to become a Mary-Sue or a Gary-Stu

And last but not least, this article about building fictional character definitely seemed interesting to me, and is full of many other links that could guide you during the creating of your character and help you file one of these sheets.

"It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch..."

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:41:57 -0400

“It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself.”

A THOUSAND RE-BLOGS! probably one of the best anti-rape campaigns I have ever seen

Exactly.. So true. Have some respect people! Don’t be that guy!

^dont be that girl that gets wasted around people you cant trust to not rape you either, just sayin

^Every girl is reminded every day that it is their fault for “allowing” themselves to become victims. So thank you for bringing absolutely nothing to the table and encouraging a discourse that makes sure victims are too ashamed to come forward.

Because apparently it’s so hard to be a decent human being and not rape. Thanks d00d in the comments.

We live in a society that teaches us to “not get raped” rather than teaches to not rape. Women are taught the ways to avoid being assaulted. Don’t travel alone. Don’t wear provocative clothing. Be constantly vigilant of your surroundings because you are never safe. Go ahead and tell me that sexism and misogyny is nothing but a women being over sensitive. Tell me all about how I should have to walk the streets with pepper spray because there are monsters around the corner. Tell me that there aren’t women dying everyday because we live in a world where victims are to blame.
Tell me my best friend was asking for it.

Tell me so I can punch you in that infinite anus you call a fucking mouth.

I love this’
