about your characters!

     GOING BACK TO THE CHAPTER ON HOW TO CREATE AN ORIGINAL CHARACTER, THERE'S A LOT THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION DURING THAT PROCESS. These characters you're creating should feel real and act as such. So, you need to make them real. You need to give them layers and details that personalize them. You need to know your character and who they are.

     So, to help with that process, I have created a list of questions that I tend to ask myself when creating a new character. Hopefully, these questions can help some of you and give you better insight into how complex you could, or should, make your OCs.

     Disclaimer: Yes, this is the same exact list, but I wanted to put it out there again. It is so very important that you know your characters, and who they are.
