Character template
This is a template sheet for your character creation. It includes good questions to answer when creating a character. Naturally, you can add plenty of backstory, other questions, etc., but this is a great place to start building your character. Please send your character description to arr@piratlajv.se.
Name:
What is the character's name, and do they have any nicknames?
Age:
How old is the character?
Occupation:
What does the character do for a living? If you are a pirate, try to choose one of the three pirate branches: "Daughters and Sons of Tundlaheim," a distinct ethnic group born as pirates; "Anchors of freedom," who originate from rebellious fishermen in Damméro; or "Roamers," individuals from any realm or previous life who have left their old lives to roam the seas as pirates.
Home/Ship:
If you're a pirate, you're probably enlisted on a ship or looking for one to enlist on. Other characters may live in a city or village, or be settled in Ryróm.
Origin:
Where in the world does your character come from? Note that if you are a pirate, a roamer can come from any realm while a anchor of freedom is most likely from Damméro. Daughters and Sons of Tundlaheim are born pirates, so it’s appropriate to mention either a ship or a free port as a birthplace. Tronskilde is the last city of the children of Tundlaheim.
Reason for being in Ryróm:
If you're a pirate, it’s likely for trading, but perhaps there is another reason why you chose that particular harbor?
Associates:
Do you have family or other close relationships? Crew members? Are there people you are in conflict with, or do you have any enemies?
Attributes:
Please describe your character's clothing style, hairstyle, and other related appearances, and if they have any very unique garments. It's perfectly okay to attach pictures.
Character traits:
Try to list some traits that are strong in your character. Maybe you are stubborn, clever, and easily amused? Or emotional and unreliable?
Pleasures and fears:
What does your character enjoy in this world, and what causes anger to boil or tears to flow? Maybe you are a former Lôrian slave and detest anyone of lôrian lineage? Or did your mother give you honey water as a child and now the scent of honey makes you sentimental?
Memories:
Has your character experienced something they will never forget?
