Character sheets? I know your probably wondering why I'm bringing up character sheets in a creative Penulisan area. The fact is character sheets can be an important tool to your writing.

If anda Outline atau came up with a character that anda don't think quite fits in your current story, a sheet is a good tool to you.
Character sheets are a good way to keep track of your characters. Their growth as anda go; It helps anda work out little quirks in their personality like for example 'Twitch bites his nails when he doesn't have his twin nearby'. Every little bit helps with keeping things in mind and expanding upon them plus if anda want to bring them to life in a role-play anda have exactly what anda need.
They are a fun way to keep your characters in order and tell them apart. If anda outline then anda have a nice quick reference sheet that anda can look at their appearance, personality, backstory, etc.
It allows anda to write down little things such as secrets, likes, dislikes, fears, family members, pets, addictions. Their Friends and Enemies are also what anda can write down. It can help with flaws if anda fear the notorious Mary Sue atau anda know anda have a Mary Sue and anda want to fix it. Then if anda have a lot of characters anda have a way to make sure anda don't miss one.

Character reference sheet types

Now that we've looked at how helpful they can be lets look at the types.

There's your basic D&D sheet. Complicated and requires a lot of math but, then anda know exactly what your character's limits are in dice rolls.

There's sheets anda can print off from Deviant art and fill out.

anda can make up your own. Which is often used in role-plays on the web, especially ones that are on forums.

The main things that anda keep in one of the simpler sheets are ones that state. Name, Age, Description, Other. Then there are some that are much lebih complicated.

Here are some examples of sheets anda could use as a templet that I use.

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Powers:
appearance:
Personality
Bio:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race, Species:
Powers:
Weaknesses:
Appearance:
Personality:
Backstory:
Other:

This one is about as in-depth as anda can get though people don't really enjoy filling these out for role-plays. When rping the key thing to keep in mind is make it as short as possible but, still long enough where it goes into enough depth that people aren't confused atau someone isn't bringing in a absolute MarySue. I most commonly use the saat one. Feel free to mix and match and customize them like if anda were doing, lets say a Harry Potter role-play it'd probably be good to do a sheet like this one below labeled Hp Sheet.
