Character Creation Resources
I put together this masterlist to help any potential members write their bios and create their characters. I’ll add to this as I find more resources. NOTE: I tagged this in to the RPH and RPCW tags because I thought it would be helpful for other roleplayers as well. However, if any of you RPCHAW don’t think I should be using those tags, you can message me and I’ll untag it.
