Characters in my head

[Brother in Arms]

Hey everyone

I thought I would make a post sorry that I tend to come and go on this forum and then post in a flurry then dissapear again for months. I am going to try to become more of a regular around here because its just too good for my imagination and I need that.

So here goes I have been having wierd dreams that are T2k Related and I have been seeing different made up people in them. A few of the people in the dreams I sort of "recognize" and the others seem hazy and un-real.

Anyway I feel that I have a good idea of a Female character and I plan on creating a group of others characters in her unit. Also I am going to use Nate Hale character outline to help flesh out the character.

THANKS NATE!

This is some seriously comprhensive character generation information! I cut and pasted it directly back into the original thread I think i'll use it like a work sheet when I have time I don't know if anyone will care but I think it will be useful to me. She will probably just end up being an NPC for a game that never gets played.

Yup. and that's just for the Character itself... that's just to write the fluff about just WHO the character is. It's none of the crunchy stuff for the system mechanics. I call that Statistical Information. and it's usually the smallest write up that is kept at the end of the character sheet. Because I believe that you should have a fully developed and fleshed out characer instead of some cardboard cutout to play you know.

Sure when you first start playing you've got a quick snapshot of a character.. but as time goes on, you get all that detail. And a worksheet like this allows you to put alot of thought into it.

Hell, i have an NPC who has a major phobia of butterflies... and another who's phobia is Clowns.

My signature charater has claustraphobia (the fear of being buried alive) as their major phobia, that came from their childhood of getting trapped in a storm drain.

[Brother in Arms]

I keep trying to fill this out for the character I want to make but Its hard to do!!!

Perhaps the Bio would help.

[natehale1971]

Remember, you don't have to fill it all out. it's just something to use as a guide to come up with a fully fleshed out character. most of the time, i don't use all that when i'm making my characters or NPCs.
