Question of the Day (Day 46): Duty VS Family

Some characters have a strong obligation towards their duty. If not their profession, then towards some goal or mission. Regardless of their commitment, sometimes your character may find themselves in a situation where they must choose between their duty or their family. What would they choose? How does this affect them, their loved ones, and the task at hand ?

Question of the Day (Day 45): Room to Grow

Most people's values, beliefs, or even personalities change over time. A person in his mid-thirties is rarely going to find value in the same things he did when he was a teenager. When making a character one thing that can add more depth to them is to decide on something that they have changed their minds regarding. Either they no longer value something they once did, or they now value something they did not care for. Alternately, you can create a character with a value or opinion that you intend for them to 'grow out of' as the game progresses.

Has your character's opinion on something changed? Is it possible that an existing opinion or value might change? How has your character grown? How will or can they grow?

Question of the Day (Day 44): Trashy!

So you're walking along and see some people tossing litter onto the ground. It's messy. It's ugly. It's not good for the environment. Whatever. What's your character's view of trash and litter? What comes to mind? Why?

Question of the Day (Day 43): Bust A Move

How does your character fair when it comes to dancing? Do they loathe it? Do they spring to the floor at any given moment? Do they have some slick moves to show off?

Question of the Day (Day 42): Mistakes were Made

If every character reacted perfectly to every situation, they would become boring, sapping all the tension from their interactions and the greater narrative as a whole. Characters should fumble every now and then, they should stumble and fall. They should make a wrong call, come to a snap judgement, or get lost, maybe not all the time, but every now and then.

What was the most recent mistake that your character has made?

Question of the Day (Day 41): Truth VS Hope

Major plot twists can affect your character's will directly, such as the revelation that the major villain they've been conspiring to defeat all along is actually a long lost family member. These traumatic pieces of information can have the most profound effect on your character's very being. Would your character rather have this information at hand or live ignorantly in bliss?

Question of the Day (Day 40): Rituals

Characters often times will have a set of rituals they follow. While not necessarily religious in origin, these rituals could include a methodical way to clean their weapons, a special prayer over a fallen foe, pausing to remember someone or something on a specific anniversary, or simply a tradition they feel brings them luck.

Does your character have a ritual they follow? How did it start? Why does it continue?
