If a backstory shapes a dynamic character, this will define them. This section in the character profile worksheet covers the “heart” of your character.
We’ve come now to the “core”: who your character is deep down. It’s the springboard to your character’s biography. This section in the character template dives a bit deeper into your character and covers their “flesh”: the people, circumstances, and formative influences that filled them out and made them who they are today. Characters don’t exist in a vacuum - they’re a product of their environment. The Basics: Name, Age, Place of birth, Current location, Nationality Physical Appearance: eye color? hair style? build? What's their health like? Speech and Communication: Do they have an accent? Posture? Do they gesture? What's their catchphrase?Ģ. Think of it as a kind of offender profile - one that can help you spot your character in the middle of a crowded Times Square. That’s the goal of this section, which covers the “skin” of your character: everything from their outer appearance to the way that they speak. To be able to identify a criminal, detectives build a painstakingly thorough file of said criminal’s physical characteristics.
