Character sheet questions

[TheDookieNut]

Hey;

I'm looking for a number of questions aside from the usual to put on a favourite character's profile. I use this character on a regular basis and have done for nearly two years. I'll note this is a Harry Potter character

So far I have:

Name
Age
Birthplace
Current Location
House
Wand

Favourite subject
Least favourite subject

[Alphakoka]

Blood status.

:) Just for fun, you can include the form of the character's Patronus, the form a boggart takes when your character is faced with one, the smell that the character gets from Amortentia...

And there are more generic ones, strengths and weaknesses, greatest fear(s), major goals, an explanation of the character's family.

I don't know if this is intentional, but you also don't have a "History" or "Background" section. Perhaps it's unneeded?

Another one could be personality if you want to give an inkling of that at the start, some people prefer to reveal it through writing whereas others prefer to have it structured from the start. Personality like everything else of a character can develop and change through a roleplay as part of character development so you shouldn't feel too limited by that.

Mm, I've never been good at writing out a personality in the sheet like that. Unless it's a particularly simple character, I never seem to have the right words...

Most of the time I just have it kind of meshed in with the Background, as in "here is how the character reacted in these various situations in their life, take of that what you will". I don't know if that turns out clear or not, though.

Do they have a pet? If so, which? If not, why?

Random but fun perhaps: If given 10,000 galleons, what would they do with the new-found funds?

Ah, I knew I forgot one. Yep, familiars. My latest HP character didn't have one, it completely slipped my mind. I like the one about the galleons, too, Genkai. I'll probably use that.

[Kidd]

Strengths? Weaknesses? Both physical and mental. What about birthday?

XD You're welcome.

Awesome!

Yeah I agree with the personality thing. I may have used him a lot but his personality is still moulding, would be all lies if I wrote it down in a character sheet only to have it change

Thanks too!
