OK, I got this from a site from Rohan RP resources, I think it will solv a lot of porblems about sorting out a character. You dont have to do it, but I thought it would benefit the game, take as long as you want.

~~*~~

Who are your character's friends?

How close is your character to his/her friends?

Is she/he protecting someone?

Who was her/his first love?
Who does she/he work with?

Who is her/his best friend?
Who is his/her worst enemy?
Who is his/her confidante?
Is he/she a disappointment to anyone?

• What about family? Does she/he get along with them? Does she/he ignore them? Is it a small family, or an extended family with lots of cousins and aunts and uncles? Is it a close family, or do they only see each other at the holidays? Are any of them not on speaking terms with each other?
• Are there any "family secrets?"
• Who is his/her favorite relative?
• Who is his/her least favorite relative?
• Does he/she have any children?

• Where does he/she feel safe? Why?
• What sort of place spooks him/her? Why?
• Is there any place that he/she refuses to go? Why? What happened there?
• What did your character want to be when he/she grew up?
•
• What nightmares does he/she have?
• What makes him/her cry?
• What makes him/her laugh?
• What does he/she wish they could do that they can't?
• What is their secret dream? What one goal, ambition, or desire do they keep hidden from everyone? Is it small or large? Personal or global? Realistic or unrealistic? Is she actually trying to accomplish it (and how?), or do they consider it untenable?
• What is their worst fear? What terrifies them? What do they dread? Is it something terribly personal, or a generic phobia? How did they acquire this fear? Are they ashamed of it?
• If she could be any famous person, who would it be and why?
• Where does your character live?
• Do they get sick? How often? What do they tend to come down with, and how do they handle it?
• What is your character like when they are drunk? Mellow? Melancholy? Friendly and fun? Laughs too much? Hits on everyone?
• What is she like when they are grieving/mourning? Are they private with their grief? Quiet and stony? Crying loudly? In need of friends?
• What are they like when they are moody or despondent? Are they self-pitying, irritable, sad?
• What is he/she like when they are celebrating celebrating? Do they have a quiet celebration at home, or do they gather their friends together for a big bash?
