The Less Interesting TimesBecause When Else Would You Rather Be?

2006/12/23 The 150 Character Questionnaire

A while back, a friend I met while playing an online RPG sent the whole party a compilation of questions designed to help the player flesh out his character. It was filled with all sorts of background and foreground questions. Huge events and tiny things that make a character a bit more believable. Not long ago, I edited it and put it up on the Tapuz RPG Forum as The 60 Character Questionnaire. And then someone translated it into Hebrew. Now, that I’ve read another questionnaire, I’ve edited my own version again. I’ve changed some questions, elaborated on others, added some more and divided the questionnaire into three parts depending on the level of depth a player will want to create for his or her character. You don’t have to answer all the questions if you don’t want to. Some questions simply won’t fit one character or another but they are all here to get your imagination sparking. So we have Establishing Questions for that quick character, some more Light Background if you want a rounder character, and In-Depth questions for really digging into your long-term character. And that is a file I can take responsibility for as my own creation. Most of the questions came as they are from outer sources but I’ve edited them and put them in order. Here they are, all 152 of them.
