「 CHARACTER PSD 012 」

I am back with a thing…. (Per usual, thanks to @thanhpls for letting me liveblog the struggle at her………)  Dimensions are included within the PSD, and the fonts used are Montserrat and Roboto. Features one main image and three icons. Be warned: this PSD includes 389042592485902524 layers, but I’ve done my best to keep it easy to navigate and customize. You are welcome to edit anything to your liking, but please don’t claim as your own work. Credit is appreciated if you’re into that, but if you download, please at least like/reblog. Should you run into any problems with editing, shoot me a message and I will do my best to get back to you.

Wraith’s “DocWiki” Google Docs Template

SO A little while ago I became quite frustrated with how there’s no free and/or server-free “Wiki” style encyclopedia template out there (that I could find), so I went and made my own. Feel free to copy, modify, and improve upon as you please for all your worldbuilding, research, and other writing needs! No credit necessary. Notes:

  • You can link multiple documents together with the same template using insert bookmark / links. With the right sharing settings for all pages, you can make your own little self-hosted knowledge base.
  • This template looks best with the seamless pages option.Certain areas may push different containers around, as this is all made with regular doc features and requires no plugins.

40 OC Development Questions - Part 2

My previous 40 question ask game has been picking up notes again, and you know what? I love making up these questions so much that I made more. Because why not.

Have some uncommon questions to help with developing your original characters! Feel free to send in some asks with some numbers–pick an oc, or I’ll pick randomly~

  1. How does your character sleep? Peacefully, fitfully? What position do they sleep in? What is their typical bedding like?
  2. Does your oc have dreams or nightmares? What are they like? Is there a recurring one?
  3. How easy to annoy is your oc? Do they have common pet-peeves or are they stoic in response to everything? What is their reaction if the source doesn’t stop?
  4. How does your oc view housework? Do they absolutely hate it? Do they enjoy having their surroundings neat and tidy or do they not notice?
  5. Your oc has to make something for an art exhibition. What would they make? How terrible is it? Would they enjoy making it?
  6. What is your oc’s vocabulary like? Does it match the way they talk? How would you describe their speech?
  7. How would you describe your oc’s voice? Do they have an accent? Do you have any voice claims for them?
  8. Is your oc more likely to follow instructions exactly, throw them out and figure it out on their own, or make it all up? What are the results like?
  9. Is your oc afraid of touch or do they actively seek it out? Is there a reason for this? What are the exceptions?
  10. How is your oc about medical care? Do they avoid any form of healthcare that they can, do they seek it out over every little scrape? Do they treat their injuries/illness all by themselves?
  11. How competitive is your oc? Is every little task something that they can win, or are they just in competitions for the fun of it? Is there anyone they’re most competitive with?
  12. How skilled at lying is your oc? How frequently do they lie? For what reason? What situations would be the exception?
  13. What is your oc’s immune system like? Are they invincible to illness, or are they compromised completely from the slightest of dirt?
  14. Does your oc do anything “just for the aesthetic”? Or are they completely practical in everything?
  15. If you had to choose a single object to act as a symbol for your oc, what would it be? Why?
  16. If your oc could only eat one thing for the rest of their life (while miraculously not suffering from malnutrition), what would it be? Does this match their favourite food?
  17. How prepared is your oc? Ready for the worst no matter what, or completely lost in every situation? Would they have a medkit when it was needed? Would they have an umbrella if it rains?
  18. How charitable is your oc? Or are they more stingy with their resources and money?
  19. If someone was describing your oc to someone who had never met them, what distinguishing features would they mention? How would one identify your oc in a crowd?
  20. Does your oc have any pleasure that embarrasses them so they keep it secret? Or are they open about all the things they enjoy?
  21. What is your oc’s stamina like? Would they be able to run a marathon, or not run at all? What about walking/another physical activity? How are they with exercise in general?
  22. How long can your oc stay focused on one task before they get bored? Do they constantly have to switch things up or do they hyperfocus? What sort of things is it the opposite for?
  23. What is the most annoying sound to your oc? What’s the most pleasant? Is there any reason?
  24. What smells bring back specific memories to your oc? What are those memories like?
  25. How jumpy or easily spooked is your oc? Do they have a fight or flight reflex to being startled, or are they never startled at all?
  26. How polite is your oc? Do they do everything with the utmost courtesy, or do they completely refuse to say please and thank you?
  27. How flexible is your oc? Can they touch their toes or do they have trouble just sitting down because of how stiff they are?
  28. What is your oc’s typical walking like? Do they speed-walk everywhere, do they take quick short steps or long paces? On their tiptoe, the sides or heels of their feet? How loud are their footsteps?
  29. If your oc was in a video game, what would their idle animation be? (When the player stays still for too long, the animation that plays.)
  30. What topics does your oc know the most about? Are these obvious or would these be surprising to others?
  31. What time of day is your oc most awake? What about most tired? Do they get up at the same time every morning without need of an alarm, or is their sleep schedule all over the place?
  32. What five ingredients would you throw into a cauldron to make a potion based on your oc? How would you cook/mix them? What would the potion do?
  33. Describe your oc’s favourite environment. Urban or rural? Wild or controlled? What’s the climate like?
  34. What would someone blackmail your oc with? Would they be successful in getting what they wanted?
  35. How easily does your oc get attached to things? Does everything have a sentimental value to them, or do they see nothing as more valuable than its practical use? What about with people/animals?
  36. How stubborn is your oc? Are they easily convinced of the opposite opinion, do they not agree but let it happen anyways? Or do they cause conflicts with their inability to budge in their decisions?
  37. How much has your oc traveled? Why is this? Would they like to travel more? Or are they perfectly fine with staying home?
  38. What signs tell that your oc is nervous? Do they fidget, is it in their expression or the way they say things? Or are they very skilled at hiding it?
  39. How superstitious your oc? Do they end up following them ‘just in case’? Or are superstitions incredibly important to your oc? What are some that they believe? What about the ones they don’t?
  40. Are there any habits your oc has picked up from people around them? Do they know where they’re from? Does your oc try to stop themselves from doing it?

i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

this is GENUINELY one of the best character development sheets I've ever seen. Cuts right to the core of what you and your readers will glom onto, doesn't waste time on details that don't directly affect the narrative. Stupendous. Effervescent. Finally, some good fucking food

Your blog has been so helpful with my oc developing journey! Thank you for putting so much time into collecting resources and the like! I did have a question, if you wouldn't mind answering, but how do you use Obsidian for sorting/recording your oc data? It's a little daunting and I've found myself constantly going over the info and trying to format everything. It's maddening. Thank you again for your hard work and time! <3

It's awesome that you've found this blog to be helpful! Thank you so much for telling me! 💖 (it ain't much but it's honest work dot jpeg)

Obsidian as a program is daunting especially if you're not familiar with similar applications (OneNote, Evernote, Joplin, etc.), but somehow I have completely forgotten how frustrating it was to get started from a blank page, even though I spent years struggling with that frustration. Here's a basic rundown of what I do!
