I’m finally putting together a damn character page and I’m putting this here for easy access and easy formatting BUT HEY, if you like it, you can use it for your characters too! : D Feel free to add to it, or take things away, I just combined several bio elements I’ve seen over the years. :>

Notes!!

Anything in (italics and parentheses) you can delete if you copy + paste this

You can replace the ◘ around the OC Name / OC’s Profession title with any symbol or emoji you feel represents your character

Helpful acronyms: N/A = Not Available, Not Applicable, No Answer TBD = To Be Determined TBA = To Be Announced

◘ OC Name / OC’s Profession ◘

(profession is mainly in reference to GW2 professions, but you can put any profession you want, or any title that fits your character/what they do, i.e. chef, wizard, doctor, etc)

Posts with (OC Name) (include a hyperlink to your OC’s tag on your blog if you so desire)

◦ Fact  ◦ Fact ◦ Fact ◦ Fact (examples of what I typically put here: -descriptive terms that define who the character is “loud” “fun-loving” “tiny powerhouse” “war-worn” etc,  -phrases “the dad friend” “edgy and unpredictable” “lost puppy” “weird uncle” “the important thing is that they tried” “scared but wants to help” -fun facts “will go out to dinner just for free breadsticks” “calls his son every day” “inexplicably survives on sporadic snacking” “will climb anything, especially if dared to”)
