Category: CHARACTER CREATION
The best characters out there are ones that feel like real people. Little details make a huge difference in creating a well rounded, realist character. Sometimes, though, we have trouble thinking of unique traits outside of the same old basics! Use these prompts and questions as a tool to develop the style, personality, and lives of your cast.
- What are their opinions on alcohol itself? What about other people drinking alcohol?
- Have they ever had alcohol? Do they drink occasionally, or often? With friends? Alone?
- Are they an alcoholic or a recovering alcoholic? Are they susceptible to becoming one?
- Why do they drink, or what situations WOULD they drink in?
- Can they handle their alcohol? How much alcohol does it take to get them tipsy? Turbo drunk? Blackout drunk?
- When they are intoxicated, what sort of behavior do they have? Do they get giggly? Horny? Angry? Sad?
- How do they respond to their friends and loved ones when they get drunk? How do they respond to enemies?
- Does this character have awareness about how drunk they are and try not to behave all drunk? Or are they oblivious and lost all inhibitions and control of themselves?
- Do they get really bad hangovers or are they able to shake it off easy?
- After one hell of a drinking binge, are they likely to drink again?
