Character Development

Since someone can ask you any question about yourself at any time, you should have a good idea of the character you're portraying. In general, this means you should have some basic answers such as:

Name : [Character Name – Factual or Fictional]

Titles : [If Applicable]

Aka: [Nicknames or Alias]

Birthplace: [Where was your Character Born?]

Location: [Where is the Town / Village Located?]

Age: [Character Age]

Birth Date: [Be aware of Festival Time Period for Character]

Father: [Factual or Fictional]

Mother: [Factual or Fictional]

Grandparents: [Factual or Fictional]

(Father Side):

(Mother Side):

Occupation: [Character Occupation]

Current Residence: [Provide as much information to paint a picture]

My Creed: [Character's Family Creed or Motto]

Festival Experience: [Your experience for matter or record]

Obviously, the more detail you build up, the more realistic your character then becomes and the more fun you'll have in portraying him or her. Remember a picture may be worth a thousand words, but a thousand words will paint a better picture.
