Crafting Our Characters (C.O.C.) – Basics1


Hello out there,
I am back to continuing my first "twisty" blog series. What's the twists? A series of blogs that share a common theme, and may include more! As an 'edu-idea' of mine started it all, we dive head first as it continues bringing us deeper into our creative realms!
With this blog I bring you some information (please note section, includes a request); and a Background Information "guide", with Qs (questions) through some basic elements to creating/ designing your video game avatar/ character.
Next subject section (Basics2): Appearance.
=
Subject: Character Creation/ Design
PLEASE NOTE:
~ I am creating the story line slowly, from all my bits & pieces of stories over the years.
If you are willing, we can always incorporate your ideas in with it, create your own completely, or of course intermingle the realms (yours with/ parallel/ otherwise including mine).
~ We are speaking of your "Dream you"/ alter ego perhaps... ANYTHING you want goes!
A Request:
Please include some sort of background information, that can aid in generally "normal behaviour" understanding.
This can be a brief, or lengthy explanation of anything you create/ design through written word, graphics, etc...
After all, how would you imagine living in our version of our "Wild Wicked World!"?
So... How do we create/ design our characters?
With plenty of imagination, information, and effort - acting, drawing, designing, learning, RPG (physical/ video), typing, writing, or otherwise! The choice is yours of course. 
& "The more the merrier" they say!!!

THE BASICS
As always it is completely up to you, how much or how little information is provided for any part of any subject/ realm that you create within.
+
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
This is for both your imagination assistance of creating the appearance of your character's avatar, and otherwise.
Note/ Warning: Some of this may/ will affect/ create the generally "normal"/ or not "normal" behaviours of characters - both yours, and possibly others' also.
+
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT/ Qs TO ASK YOURSELF.
A) Name, & Age
Does your name reflect your age, job, or origin?
Do you wish to be young, your actual age, older, immortal (if so, what age eternally)?
Do you look like your name or age? Ex. Some may be named Stewart, but look like an Andrew, Joe, or Steve.
+~+
B) Nationality/ Species, & Origin (home Land).
Nationality/ Species: Are you...?
a. Human
b. a monster (once human/ not)
c. an animal (as we know them throughout our history and presently)
d. an alteration of a. - c. (like a Dr.Moreau experiment)
e. a speculation of species' that are rationally possible in our Cosmos/ Galaxy/ Universe...
f. a being with no need of a body - How does it exist?
g. a new species (your design) - any specific ability, colour, shape, etc...
&
What belief systems might be at play?
What abilities might you choose/ not choose - Are they common to this Nationality or Origin?
What morals do you have now that will or will not make it into your avatar/ character?
Oh so many possibilities!
+
Origin: Your character's City/ Land they come from
Where do you live - in a City/ Land of your own design, or one that exists already?
&
Optional:
Where did you grow up?
Where do you wish you lived - in our reality, in your City/ Land of your own design?
+~+
C) Personality
Note: This includes any affects from yours/ others' abilities - natural, warping, & Powers.
+
a. General Behaviour
Are they "calm, cool, and collected", hyper/ erratic, awkward like a growing phase, etc...
Is your character's general behavior affected by personal abilities (natural/ warping/ powers), or abilities of others'?
&
Is your character's general behaviour like this all/ most? of the time - which is it?
=
b. Likes, dislikes, & favourites
Pet peeves to down right raging - Triggers! What are they?
Favourites - Colour(s), food, activity, learning subject, fashion, Life style, people/ personality, etc...
=
c. Affected-by Behaviours
Are there any "side effects" to any of your character's abilities?
Do any cause your character's generally normal behaviour to become "skewed"/ different?
Do any affect others' characters - If so what characters/ nationality/ Land?
+~+
D) Character Abilities - Natural, Warping & Powers
How many does your character have?
What are they?
Is there a limit (due to character's nationality, past experience - curse?, other "bad luck", etc)?
Do any counter-balance each other (of your own)/ others' abilities?
+~+
E) Character Associations
a. Family, friends, and associates
Do they have 1, some, lots, or none?
Do they like them/ what are their relationships like?
Does your character like/ dislike anyone in particular?
Is your character generally friendly?
=
b. Pets
Have any - what is it?
If so, what's it's character - appearance, abilities, personality traits, etc...
Does your character wish they did have a pet - if so, what?
Is your character planning on getting one - if so, what/ when/ where?
  How could be an adventure story! (^&^)
