How to Write a Character

if you are struggling to create a character, by following this list you will have at the very least a solid baseline. To quickly write a charcter and make them ready to play make sure your character comes equipped with the following:

Name: Self-explanatory
Age: Self-explanatory
Home: Give a home region or city of origin. This can be where the character grew up or where he currently lives.
Where they learnt their skillset: Where did they learn their magoc or martial skill? A teacher? An organization? This might come with obligations, debts etc.
Goals: One or more goal for your character.
Bonds: Friends, relatives, precious belongings, stuff you don't want to lose or to be destroyed.
Ideals: Concepts and ideas that your character values. Freedom, strength, order etc.
Flaw: One or more personality flaws. Rage, pride, forgetfulness, curiosity, social anxiety etc.
Fear: One or more fears. Spiders, fire, heights etc.
Religion: Who's afterlife do you go to?
(Optional) short backstory Keep your backstory short and concise. If you are playing at a lower level, dont garnish your backstory with legendary feats of strength and great achievements. Do that if you are starting at a higher tier of play when your character is more powerful and experienced. Even then, best keep the feats believable.

Example:

Name: Stefan Koreiz
Age: 24
Home: Gallica, Dante county, the city of Prata.
Where they learnt their skillset: Stefan learned his archery from his father.
Goals: He wants to exterminate all Wildlings.
Bonds: Stefan has a younger brother and sister he wants to keep safe.
Ideals: Freedom: people should life freely and without fear.
Flaw: When confronted with those he hates, stefan is unreasonable and has bad self-control.
Fear: Stefan is afraid of being powerless or too weak to protect those he loves.
Religion: Stefan prays to Gaia, the earth-mother.
Short backstory: Stefans parents were killed when a few wildlings wandered near his family's farmstead. His brother and sister now live in the city of Prata and Stefan has sworn eternal vengeance against all wildlings, and wants to get rid of them and other monsters so the forests and fields are monster-free and what happened to his parents can't happen to others.
