Character Mechanisms - creating character profile instructions (part 1)

Having added a character profile sheet to the Character Mechanisms book just after publishing the book, I never got around to making any sort of examples nor instructions.

This sounds like a good topic in the form of a challenge for a few posts.

Challenge

So, the challenge of this and maybe a few more posts is a challenge to create instructions and example of creating a character profile.

Character Mechanisms

$16 sold individually worth of tools.

I put the character profile as a free download, since it might help get some more people interested in either the separate books or the full combined book

Scope

So, knowing the challenge, it's time to focus on figuring out how much work will be needed.

Different types of story characters

One factor that comes to mind is that for many of my tools, I mention a different between background, minor, major, and main characters.

• I should probably mention in the instructions a way to generate the different types of characters for stories.

Full coverage

For a main character, I probably need at least to fill in every category with something.

• All types of data should be covered.

Hierarchy and Prioritize

Since one piece of information isn't as important as other piece, I should figure out what is more important that the other information.

• Prioritize character information.

Time Deadline

Ideally, having this done before NaNoWriMo would be ideal. 

• Complete before November 1st, 2018 target.

Summary of challenge

So, for a few posts I hope to create instructions and examples for using the new character profile sheet for Character Mechanisms.

• for different types of characters
• covering all of the types of data
• with prioritized character information
• with a goal of completing before November 1st.
