Character Sheets and character creation ā
When creating a character, thereās a lot of questions you ask yourself. Whether itās an original character or one youāve been playing for a long time, using a character sheet to get to know your character better can always be a nice idea. With itās help, youāll be able to think about things you didnāt necesarily thought about, and ask some important questions to yourself that might activate your characterās voice, or help you to get your muse back with them. Everyone has their favorite character sheets, some people prefer to have a lot of questions, some others like it a bit more vague, so hereās a masterlist of the character sheets I found on various websites and found quite interesting, plus some other things that could be used to help you see, for example, how other character view yours.Ā

With these sheets, you could also try to find your characterās Jung and Enneagram Type or use the Moral Alignment tool. All of these things can be really useful to get a better grip on a character.
Then, if youāre trying to create a character, and do not have many ideas, or get stuck, Iād suggest for you to roam around TVTropes, which gives you a lot of tropes used for character creation. Maybe you could try to mix a few of these and create an original character?
Or, if youāre a skillful writer and know how to make your character different from another, make a list of characters in fiction you happen to find interesting and why. Try to keep it short. Then, maybe, try to mix and match things from two or three characters, take a character and change their backstory, to see what would change. Play with them to inspire yourself and create something new, original and truly yours.
Oh, and hereās a little guide to Mary-Sues and OCs, just in case you want to make sure your character isnāt going to become a Mary-Sue or a Gary-Stu
And last but not least, this article about building fictional character definitely seemed interesting to me, and is full of many other links that could guide you during the creating of your character and help you file one of these sheets.
