Character Development Worksheet
Contents
We will use a character development worksheet and work on refining your character.If you play enough role-playing games, this process is similar to when you are creating a character before you play. There are many character development worksheet available and most of them have the same format as we are using. If you find one that is more detailed than this or the one that suits you better, go ahead and use it. Now lets put down more information on your character. Here, we will break down the details of your character to several different sections and basically answer everything there is to know about your character.Lets begin with a basic character profile.
