Sure! Han and Evren are washed up on Salem right now but they'll be back in the forest soon. Feel free to toss your mare there any time after that, or I'll let you know if I can think of a reason for Han to go adventuring to the crossing. :)
Here are the character development questions I use:
-What drives them: what are their goals and motivations? How do they make decisions?
-Self-expression: how do they dress? How do they talk, stand, and walk? Do they have any habits, quirks, or tics? Do they favor action or words? What is their general demeanor? How do they deal with confrontation? How well can they lie? How do they express affection?
-Self-image: how do they feel about and perceive themselves? how does this affect their behavior?
-Relationships: who do they value? Who are they close to? Do they prefer a wide circle of friends or just a few close ones? How easily do they trust? How do they deal with social conflict?
-Physical desires: what is their sexuality? What do they crave (e.g. connection, sex, food)?
-Health: do they have any illnesses? How much do they prioritize health and fitness? What are their energy levels like? Are they a morning or night person?
-Hobbies & interests: how do they like to spend their spare time? What are they good at? What fascinates them?
-Fears & dislikes: what is their deepest fear? What are their pet peeves? Do they have any phobias?
-Beliefs: are they religious? What is their moral code/alignment? How do they view society and people as a whole?
-Downfalls: what are they influenced by? What would they break their own moral code for? What would they never sacrifice? What would they kill/die for? What are their weaknesses and insecurities? How do they feel about things out of their control?
-Why they are the way the they are: what about their past and upbringing has shaped them? How will they change as the story progresses, and how will the affect the plot?
-2 prominent memories:
Obviously these were made with human characters in mind, so you don't have to be so detailed in your answers lol. Or, if you just want something really basic to start you off, I also sometimes use the 1-2-3 method:
-Pick 1 value, i.e. their core belief (e.g.empathy, knowledge)
-Pick 2 flaws, i.e. limitations (e.g. shy, quick-tempered)
-Pick 3 traits, i.e. behaviors & attitudes (e.g. social, studious) Replies: There have been no replies.
