I love lists. I tend to forget to use them but I love them none the less. I also like charts, graphs, and other visual reminders on how to do things. I think that is due to the math/science-based jobs I have had for a large majority for my adult life. Cheat sheet were the de rigueur.

Most, if not all, of you have seen a character sheet or used one so the one I’m going to post  probably has a lot of things you’ve seen before, like height, weight, eye color, things of that nature. I like this one because it has things like habits, what is the bedroom like (you can tell a lot about a person by how they keep their room), character flaws, nuances that really can breath life into your character.

I don’t use this list all the time but I have used it enough that I can run a new characters traits in my head. Like I’ve said, I love list but forget to use hem. I guess I’d mark that as a character flaw on my character list.
