Is it realistic that my character would say this/ act in this way?
During my researching stage to find out how other writers go about creating their own characters, I came across this website, which provides a "Character Chart"
However, I feel that this chart is a little too in depth, and has categories for some aspects of my character that I feel is irrelevant, such as where my character eats for lunch, or what his/her morning routine is. I have instead decided to create a more simplified version, describing the characters name, occupation, history and personality traits (including a notes section) which I intend to also distribute to out cast so that they can get a better feel for their character that they will be playing.
I believe these character synopsis sheets could use some refining before I am fully happy with them, but I feel that there is a lot more workable information in these sheets than the little notes I have been writing here and there in the past. Creating documents like this is a really big help, and as I mentioned, these are something I can distribute to other people in the cast so they better understand their character- something I wouldn't want to do with a bunch of little sketches and notes on rough paper.
