    What Should I Avoid While Creating a Character?

    I love this. Yes, weaknesses and strengths can make a person more interesting, because it's interesting to see a person over come their weaknesses. But it's more important for the character to be interesting in the first place. Your character needs to be someone people will enjoy reading about...

    What Should I Avoid While Creating a Character?

    Try to avoid conflicting traits. Someone cannot be both a social butterfly and a quiet shy person. Someone can be an introvert, and still be talkative when nervous or something, but being a social butterfly is different from talking when nervous. For example, I'm not the best with people and am...

    Character Personality - when is it too much

    I think it depends oh who you're role playing with as well. Because some people don't like a personality type enough that even when it's balanced, they think it's too much.

    Kind of Characters

    I think it depends on A. the character and B. who you are role-playing with. Not to mention the rules of each place like Storyteller's Circle. Those tend to vary, and when they allow more adult content, you're supposed to tell people what they're getting themselves into so that those who don't...

    How do you create your characters (process...)

    I typically start by creating a world, then creating characters that fit into a world. Sometimes I have an ideal character in mind, and will create the world around the character. My sheet often looks like this. Name: Gender: Powers: (if applicable) Abilities/Skills: Family: Personality...

    Fair enough.

    Organizing Characters

    Actually, I've found this format works really well for me when character building Name: Age: Gender: Sexual Orientation: (optional) Romantic Partner: (If applicable) Family: (If applicable) Personality: Background: I'm sure you could come up with more, but this is a basic bio. :)

    Organizing Characters

    I've actually rather recently started using Google Docs for the purposes of making character bios. However, most of them are on my phone's note app.

    What do you look for in a 1x1 search?

    I look for either chances to improve somewhere in something I'm not especially good with, or to build character. I also look for people with similar interests so I can work with a story or character that I'm unsure of.

    What was one mistake you always made when you were new to roleplaying?

    I've never been especially good at detailing. Even today, as I've started to get better, details and keeping a role play interesting without action have been my greatest weaknesses. I'm still working on it, but it's taking a while.

    Improving

    Of course. Any advice helps. Though I should say I love books. I love to read (mostly sci-fi and fantasy, which are my chosen genres when writing.) I haven't had as much time to read as I'd like, which is why I've been subscribing to Audible, so I can listen to audible books wherever I go...

    Improving

    I want to rp. But I'll be honest, I'm not sure how to on this site. RP-ing is actually the way I work with my characters, but I don't have my normal way to do that. So I'm hoping to rp here. I've worked with so many characters and so many different ideas. And I like where most of them are going...

    Improving

    I am always looking for ways to improve my writing, detailing, and characters. So I could use any help I can get, if possible. Be it grammar and spelling corrections (I don't mind, I try my best, but I do miss stuff sometimes) to different ideas on how to go about a story. I may not take the...
