For the advanced Roleplayers.
Now that you've completed the first chapter and stopped real world and internet speak, you can start developing a real personality for your character. Practice one day on a very simple thing, like pretending your character has a minor speech impediment. These can be, but not limited to the following:
- A lisp
- Can't say R's quite right.( e.g. Elmer Fudd )
- Stuttering
- Can't say H's quite right. ("Come 'ere you! ")
Or a certain type of attitude (again, only a short list):
- A solitude demeanor
- Very friendly and out going
- Quiet, or doesn't speak much
- Drunken Dwarf (always fun)
- Doesn't trust very many people
If you like pretending to have a speech impediment or potraying and exagerating a certain characteristic, then maybe roleplaying is for you after all.
Write down on a piece of paper some things that your character's personality might be like.
- How you were born.
- Environment that your character was raised in. (city, slum, hood, pack, etc..)
- Number of siblings and what sex they were, (possibly even names.) twins might be interesting.
- General disposition. (angry, nice guy, rude, shy, dull, crazy.)
- Quirks. (phobia's, inanities... etc.)
- Alignment. (whether your character is good, bad, neutral, or selfish)
- Obsessions (good or bad.)
- View's on magic (whether character shuns magic or is wary or welcomes it.)
- Hatred towards ... (pick something) maybe your character hates neko's, or healers, or Rejects.
Just write stuff down, develop your character, get to know how to become them. If you want to generate a list and roll dice to randomly generate a character then all the more power to you!
