[WIP] Characters: An Art (The Many Types of Characters and How to Roleplay Them)

[Twee]

Updated with some images. Designing a Character is almost complete. There's still a bit more I wanted to add, but I can't remember it right now - I'll add more later if anything comes to mind!

You're completely free to use the lineart I used to make the images at your leisure. Just don't erase the signature at the top or claim it as your own! You'll need an image program such as Photoshop, Paint Tool SAI, GIMP or OpenCanvas to use it though. Anything that uses layers should work! If you're having problems or have a question, feel free to ask here or PM me.

    I'm new to roleplaying, although I've spent a lot of time looking at the roleplay forums on Feralheart, and I think your guide is amazing! It's certainly the most detailed roleplaying guide I've found.
    I like how you listed all the common character cliches and stereotypes and their flaws. It's very useful for avoiding flat characters. I'll definitely keep them in mind.
    My favorite part was the character chart. I tried to be as in-depth as I could when creating my character, but now I realize I've never thought about his sleeping patterns! The chart really made me think of all the tiny details a character's personality should contain.
    Thank you very much for creating this guide! I'm not sure whether you're still working on it, but I think that the sections that up are worth reading. If I could, I'd give you a floof.

Wee update for you all. <3 It's been a while, I apologise!

I added an example to the Types of Characters section. I'll try and add more examples to the other sections and then keep working on the ones still to be done!

Glad you find it useful! ^^ Hopefully the rest will be updated soon!

Hey, just wanted to point out that a group of male cheetahs is a coalition, not a single cheetah.
