When I’m done, I will be able to select and compare two characters from the top drop down menu. I’ll release the finished file once it is done if people want it for themselves, but.... I think I’m missing some stuff! Let’s take a look...
Basic info: first name, last name, nickname (all obvious); age and birthday; race and subrace; planet of origin and where they live now.
I do a LOT of sci-fi and am partially developing this for a friend who is a writer, so planet related fields are required. Subrace refers to the subtype in applicable races, for example, if it was a dog role play, this could function as breed.
Sexuality and Dating: gender, pronouns, sexuality (the basics), dating or married to (necessary).
I don’t use most of this but my friend does. I think I probably hold the world record for most oblivious characters to the dating scene owned by a single person.... 65 or so of my characters are single.
Family (history): dad, mom, siblings. Sons and daughters, for those characters who might be married. A misc form for those extra people like cousins, grandparents, or exes that might be mentioned.
“Dating/Married to” went with sexuality and Dating moreso than family.... this is more logical to me.
Pets: three pet slots. I could add more, but I don’t see someone mentioning dozens of pets like I actually own. I just don’t. These slots work for familiars as well. I might make a side pet database? I’m not sure yet? What would that need? Name, species, gender, markings? Equipment? Personality?
Appearance: hair color and style/length, eye colors (one of my races my friend works with is strictly heterochromic after maturity, so this was split into sides), skin color, fur color, markings on skin. Scars/tattoos.
Marpiter markings are special markings that exist within my friend’s story, and they asked for a field for that so they can describe the markings for each person they apply to. There’s a separate form in another sheet that covers the variants for those.
A misc field for those who need to describe something custom on appearance, like “has purple nails”.
WHAT I KNOW IS MISSING:
I know I’m missing space for character history, active campaigns, and inventory. I think a “past campaigns” thing might be useful, but not for comparison charts since it can be a space hog.
I need fields for clothing I think? Where applicable lol.... I have one character who is a blue furred little person and just.... try putting a shirt on him. I dare you.
