I find stuff like this ridiculously fun and completely time consuming. I use this particular layout a lot when creating new characters. Not all of it will apply to all characters and some of course is redundant, but if you're up for a challenge, this is a really fun sheet to fill out and help fine tune your characters! ^_^ Feel free to reply to this post (because I'm curious about you all! ;D ) but remember that most of this information is going to be unavailable for others to use unless your character discloses it.

How the shit do you guys do the embedded code XD

by Woo Jiho Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:31 am

the button that looks like a little scroll with arrows on it makes the code omg XDD

by Caroline Livingston Sun Dec 08, 2013 2:48 am

Caroline is probably the hardest character for me to portray, because she's probably the least like me of all characters I've written, which may be because I have such a hard time trying to be seriously mean. I'm just really bad at being mean not as a joke. That being said, I think she's also one of my favorites of the characters I've ever made up until this point.

Upon trying to write her introductory RP, I found I was having trouble trying to be cold and uncaring without reason, so I decided to give her the most soul-crushing past I could think of to help me reason with her being so distant as a person and closing herself off even while appearing to reach out. She could lie while still telling the truth, count people as interesting or boring, problems or not a problem, and just generally make a facade out of her entire life except maybe to her cat, all while letting no one know there's a problem with her.

Code hides all the things I want to say but didn't really feel like taking up all the space of the post with. If I've missed anything it's because it's late. This will probably actually help immensely, since I hadn't really pieced together everything neatly and there were a lot of breaks in what I wanted her past to be like.

Cool idea, thanks~!

Code:: Character's Full Name: Caroline Morgan Livingston Reason or meaning of name: French meaning of Caroline: Song of happiness. Caroline could also have an American meaning, but I feel she would choose the French meaning every time. I believed that giving Caroline her father's non-French last name and her usually dodging that part of her name during introductions left remnants of her dislike and discomfort of her father and all things associated with him. Nickname: None. Caroline or go home. Reason for nickname: Caroline despises the shortening of her name, as it loses its French origin when shortened. Birthdate: July 16 Astrological Sign: Cancer [b]PHYSICAL APPEARANCE[/b] Age: 27 How old does s/he appear?: Twenty-something, she hopes. Eye Color: Brown Glasses or contacts? Nope Hair color: Dark Brown Distinguishable hair feature: She brushes her hair five times each side. Type of hair: Thick, slightly wavy.

Height: 5'2 Weight: 105 Type of body/build: Normal Nationality: French Skin tone: Fair Skin type: Normal Shape of face: Square Distinguishing Marks? Beauty mark near right eye Scars? None on face, mostly on back and abdomen, some on hips and thighs. Most predominant feature: Eyes Resembles: Cristin Miloti, her grandmother, and her mother. Accent?

Quirks: Occasional OCD moments, like things needing to be centered or done in a particular fashion. [b]BACKGROUND[/b] Hometown: Snowflake, Arizona Type of childhood: Poor First memory: Grandmother singing in French Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Grandmother's deportation to France after an expired visa. Why? She believes this is when her parents spun out of control, their relationship faltered, and when the alcoholism of her mother and the drug abuse of her father began, giving her the fear of much larger men smelling of drugs/alcohol. Lower education: Public High School Degree Higher education: Bachelor of Science in Nursing, four-year college. Book smart or street smart? Both. Growing up in an impoverished family with abusive and neglectful parents often led her to understanding things like the selling and use of drugs, and the use of alcohol. However, she did force herself to focus more on schooling to get to the college she wanted to so she could get her degree. Religion and/or religious views and/or tendencies? Raised Catholic, doesn't attend church, only observes the religion around her grandmother. Firsts: Job? Movie theater attendant Kiss? High school, some guy in a parking lot Sexual experience? Molestation by one of her father's buyers when she was young. She believes she has never had true sex.

Father: Adam Livingston Relationship with him: Extreme dislike; she believes him to be the cause of most of her fears and pains. Siblings: N/a Birth order: N/a Relationship with each: N/a Children of Siblings: N/a Extended family: Grandmother, lovingly called Mémé, meaning granny. True name is Odetta Aubel. Close to family? No, but very fond of her grandmother, even after her initial blame for the poor childhood received. [b]CHILDREN[/b] Does character have a child? Yes How many? One cat Are all children with the same partner? Yes If no, why not? If no, what is the custody arrangement? N/a How does character relate to his/her child? She likes how quiet he is while still feeling almost like a guardian to her. She trusts and loves him very much. Which child is character's favorite? Pierre Why? He is a constant companion to her and is usually very self-sufficient and quiet. He's her good boy. Character's most favorite memory of his/her child? Pierre as a kitten. Character's least favorite memory of his/her child? Pierre had a small outburst once and destroyed her couch. Is relationship with children good? Yes. Is relationship with children important to character? Yes. [b]OCCUPATION[/b] Where does character work? Hill of Acropolis Asylum How many years? Three. Relationship with co-workers? Depends on the co-worker. Like his/her job? Yes. Why or why not? She feels she's good at what she does, and she feels she does it well, which makes her confident. Dream job: Unsure, possibly a doctor. [b]ATTITUDE[/b] Greatest fear: Strong, large men who smell of drugs/alcohol around her, in the room alone with her, or attempting to interact with her. Worst thing that could happen to him/her? Someone using this fear against her What single event would most throw character's life in complete turmoil? A man on drugs overpowering her with the intent to rape or molest her while forcing her to call him Daddy. Character is most at ease when: Drinking tea with her grandmother, attempting to learn new French, or when progress is made with a patient. Most ill at ease when: Someone mentions the topic of sex in a positive light. She is very uncomfortable with the fact that she has never had a man touch her with the affection she'd read about in books, and is driven into an immediate, but usually hidden, panic. Priorities: Work and Pierre. Philosophy: If there is a problem that needs to be solved, no matter what needs to be done to solve the problem, it needs to be done. How s/he feels about self: When it comes to work, she is confident and self-motivated. She is able to focus more and use her people skills more appropriately in the presence of a patient or enjoyed co-worker than she is around someone she doesn't know or like. She is usually neutral about her appearance and has no qualms about the way she looks unless someone has a particular feature she really likes. Past failure s/he would be embarrassed to have people know about: Her sexual history or romantic life, which she usually passes off as being non-existent. A large embarrassment would be if anyone saw the scars on her back, hips, or thighs from her forced sexual encounters. If granted one wish, what would it be? No fears. Why? While fear is a natural part of her, I think she feels that it tends to bring her performance down when trying to deal with patients or doctors who make her uncomfortable. In a way, her fear is her main problem. Daredevil or cautious? Cautious. Same when alone? Yes. Biggest regret? Having blamed her grandmother for the abuse she received growing up. Biggest accomplishment: Receiving her college degree. Minor accomplishments: Any patient success, big or small, learning to accept her grandmother was not at fault and gaining a relationship with her, and any compliments received. Character's darkest secret: Some of her father's clients would rape her when she was alone, and she feels this resulted in her somewhat violent behavior as a teenager as well as her current fear. Does anyone else know? Yes, her grandmother. If yes, did character tell them? Eventually, yes. If no, how did they find out? Grandmother saw her changing and saw the scars on her hips and thighs. [b]PERSONALITY[/b] Greatest source of strength in character's personality (whether s/he sees it as such or not): She is persistent and determined, strong-willed and mostly confident. She doesn't push people away, and can actually be quite friendly when she likes she person she's talking to. Greatest source of weakness in character's personality (whether s/he sees it as such or not): While she doesn't push people away, she very rarely discloses the truth - at least, not all of it. She has one person she can fully talk to, and that is her grandmother. She can be a bit cocky and somewhat pretentious when talking about or to someone she dislikes, which may be seen as unprofessional when it's a co-worker. Character's soft spot: Patients and Pierre Is this soft spot obvious to others? Yes If not, how does character hide it? Biggest vulnerability: Her inability to comfortably talk about the subject of sex, even to a patient that may need to talk about it. Which of the 7 deadly sins does character fight? Lust, wrath, envy, pride. Which of the 7 virtues does your character have? Chastity, abstinence, diligence, patience, kindness. [b]TRAITS[/b] Optimist or pessimist? Optimist. Introvert or extrovert? Introvert, unless working. Drives and motivations? Patients and work. Talents? Very caring, usually easy to talk to, playful when comfortable. Extremely skilled at: Pretending everything is okay. Extremely unskilled at: Coping when it very much so isn't, like when it involves her fear. Good characteristics: Not shy about showing genuine happiness. Character flaws: May lie to get her way, avoids the truth concerning herself. Mannerisms: Usually somewhat shy or held-back at first, but eventually warms up. Peculiarities: Her OCD quirks may sometimes affect her work, and she may sometimes feel too comfortable around people, speaking about herself while forgetting to ask the other person. [b]SELF-PERCEPTION[/b] One word character would use to describe self: Workaholic One paragraph description of how character would describe self: I'm a workaholic who spends more time talking to her cat than to other people. My cat usually will enter the conversation much more than needed. I am not afraid to say what needs to be said, especially when it concerns a problem. When I'm at work, I do anything that needs to be done, even if it's out of my comfort zone. I live alone, minus my cat, and I prefer it that way. What does character consider best physical characteristic? Eyes What does character consider worst physical characteristic? Height Are these realistic assessments? No. If not, why not? Height is just fine and she has no reason to be any taller. How does character think others perceive him/her? Happy and normal. What four things would character most like to change about self? Lack of coping ability with fear, social ability, ability to tell the whole truth, height. If change #1 was made, would character be as happy as s/he thinks? Yes If not, why not? [b]INTERRELATION WITH OTHERS[/b] Is character divorced? Why? N/a If yes, how many times? N/a Has character ever cheated on any significant other? No How does character relate to others?

How will other people around character be affected? Depends on their relationship with her. [b]PROBLEMS/CRISIS[/b] How character react in a crisis (calm/panic/etc.)? If it's another person's panic, she reacts however she feels it's best to react to calm the situation down. If it's hers, she will hide the panic until she is alone and then react appropriately, or may become volatile or aggressive. How does character face problems? However she feels the problem needs to be solved. Kinds of problems character usually runs into: Upset patients, co-workers that make her uncomfortable, patients that make her uncomfortable. How does character react to NEW problems? Usually by assessing how an old problem was solved and seeing which method best applies. If all else fails, violent methods may be thrown in. How does character react to change? If the change is positive, she reacts with acceptance, if the change is negative, she will most likely avoid the change and substitute for something familiar and comfortable to her. [b]GENERAL[/b] Jewelry? Only when off-work, as she feels any extra jewelry may attract unwanted attention. Other accessories?

Everything I mention about the Shoshone while roleplaying Raphael I try my best to make it authentic and real, from character names to what Raphael wears, and what things are like on some reservations (although Nettlebush is kind of a utopia - a lot of modern reservations have a lot of problems with alcohol, suicide and unemployment -- then again so does all of America.)

Anyway, here we go~
** Also I don't care that it's 8 years long. ;D!!!!
-----
Character's Full Name: Raphael Gives Light
Reason or meaning of name: When white settlers forced the Shoshone to assume Christian names, they kept their Shoshone name as their surname. Gives Light was one of Raphael's ancestors. Raphael comes from the angel Raphael. (The men on Raphael's father's side have all been named after angels for several generations)
Nickname: Raph. (Only used by very close friends) Weda (Only used by his grandfather)

He infuses new life into the patient, and performs most wonderful feats of skill in his practice." Paiute folk wisdom.

Worst bad habit? Raphael's a bit of a busy body. He likes to get into other people's business. It may be in part to his occupation but he's non observant of boundaries.

Quirks: There's very little that shames Raphael; he's able to do odd things without fear of how he is perceived by others. He's very bold in looking people over and speaking bluntly. He's actually a very soft hearted individual but his serious face intimidates others.

BACKGROUND

Hometown: Nettlebush Reserve. A few miles outside Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico.
Type of childhood: Very normal for a Native. Would be considered sheltered for the typical American.
First memory: His uncle Uriel butchering chickens in the barn.
Most important childhood event that still affects him/her: Realization of his feelings for another boy at 13.
Why? This is when he realized he is gay and that his life wouldn't take the route he had been planning.

Lower education: School in Nettlebush doesn't split the children into age groups. The reserve is too small. Grades 1-12 totals about 100 children, so they are all taught the majority of the same things together. Raphael's entire lower education was conducted in this fashion.

Higher education: Bachelors and masters at the University of Arizona. Doctorate at the University of Colorado. 3 years of residency at Arizona Health Sciences Center. 4th year of residency to be completed at Hill of Acropolis Psychiatric Hospital.

Book smart or street smart? Somewhere in the middle. Raphael maintains a good balance between the both.

Firsts:
Job? Raphael started light work on the farm about age 7. Outside the reserve he worked throughout his entire college career, but his first job was working in the school's cafeteria as a work-study credit.

One grandfather (Michael Looks Over) on his father's side. **When Shoshone marry, the man takes the woman's name which is why Catherine's surname is different from Gabriel's.
