[quote=Tan S Lake] I'm having major difficulties writing my character's history without turning it into a novel <__< [/quote] haha, doesn't need to be some in-depth story. You can phase out some details here and there, we don't need to know that they scraped their knee when they were 4 and it reeaaaally hurt, ya know? Basically, where were they from? What sort of life did they live? Poor? Okay? Well-to-do? What were some major events in their life that made them who they are today or could be critical to their story as it continues? How did they get here? [quote=Kestrel] Just think of gruesome ways to kill their parents.That's what most of us did anyway :D [/quote] Hey, [i]I[/i] prefer to [i]maim my characters[/i] before they [b]even make it into the story[/b].
