WARHAMMER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

When first starting out in a role-playing game it may be helpful for a player to know a little more about their character in order to play that character more effectively.  Likewise, it may help to re-examine your character periodically, such as when goals have been reached, when certain benchmarks have been passed, and when things have been accomplished in the characters life, whether directly or indirectly.  That's what this form is designed to facilitate, to aid you in accomplishing.
      It is not, by any stretch of the imagination, necessary to fill this out.  However, I will point out that it is, without a doubt, easier to understand your character and get into them if you know some things about them.  This form, if you decide to fill it out and submit it, will go to you and to me, the GM(Tithenon).  If I can understand your character, as well, then I will have an easier time tailoring adventures to the things you see in your character, to how you want to develop your character, and will help me to understand how you see your character.
      All questions herein are being asked of you AS THOUGH you were your character.  Do your best to put yourself in your character's place.  This is meant to give you a better idea about your character, their limitations, and what you plan to do with them.  You may skip any part of the form you aren't sure about, now, or don't care to share with me about your character.
General Information
Please put your email address so you may also receive a copy of this? 
What is your name? 
How old are you? 
Do you have a nickname? 
Describe yourself in the most vivid detail you can; this may include a head-to-toe description, tattoos and distinctive features, mannerisms, and anything else you can think of, physically, for yourself?(Something which may help you to describe yourself is how you appear as you walk into a room, or as you crest the rise of a hill or the crown of a large rock, or as you enter the gates of a large city.)


Career
What is your class? 
What is your current career? 
How do you understand your career? The rules of your career? The responsibilities of your career?

Where would you LIKE to go career-wise? Or, are you just along for the ride?


Personality
Which of the following helps to define your personality, and why:
Music?(What kind? What does it do for you?)

Hobby(s)?(Do you have any? Why?)

Belief(s) and Ideal(s)?(Everyone believes in something? What makes you tick?)

Loves, hates, likes, dislikes, fears, triumphs?(Consider that this is an average fantasy setting consisting of the most popular fantasy movies which have been produced to date, and then write a generalized fantasy description of these things for yourself.)

Religion(Sort of a touchy subject, but may be very important to you for whatever reason, even if they are alternate gods from Warhammer)?

Political views or feelings?(Does not have to be a mainstream, Warhammer-based, set of views)

From all that you have filled out thus far, are you able to define yourself in a paragraph or two?


Developmental Information
Some of the following may aid you in defining yourself better:
Where did you grow up(not a specific part of the country, but the type of environment you consider yourself to have grown up in)?

What type of education do you have(street, familial, formal, collegiate, and how did that work for you. Did you make any enemies or friends or contacts, and how did you do)?

Have you ever done anything else, other than being an adventurer, for a living? What made you leave that life?

Do/did you have a family? If they are living, where are they and what do they do? If they are dead, where and why(I will help you fill in the location blanks if you need help)?

What about mom and dad?(Same questions as the family)

Your basic history may be on the web site, already; however, do you want to work on that, to expand it? And, from the information you have input thus far, can you summarize yourself?


Why Are You Now An Adventurer?
What made you come to be here, now?

What are your views of the world and anything else that doesn't affect you as directly as, say, the local constable jailing you for rowdiness?

What are your short and long-term goals(These may be outside what your character's goal(s), as based on their career, may be)? What do you want for your character's future?

What, apart from the obvious, do you bring to the party to enhance it(this MAY be some part of you that you believe your character would have, and does not, necessarily, have to be something from your character sheet)?

What, apart from anything obvious, may hinder you and/or the party(this may be the same as above, part of you as the player, but also anything you want to build into your character as a weakness of any kind, physical, mental, or emotional)?


:::FOR THE GAME:::
The following is supposed to come from the perspective of the player, not the character:
What makes for a good leader, in your estimation?

What would you like to see, to explore, to fight against, to encounter?

What do you, the player, feel makes a fantasy game truly worth-while? What elements do you look for(Conan the Barbarian, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonheart, Willow, etc.)? What do you think would make your day in a fantasy RPG?

How would you like to see things develop in the current campaign? What direction do you THINK this campaign is going in? What do you believe you would add or do to enhance it?(HINT: Don't look at the things which have been done in the campaign thus far in the light of comparison, but rather in the light of what you would like to see added or enhanced.)

Do you have any other descriptions, stories, ideas, comments, suggestions, etc. which have not been covered here?
