How many
times have you heard that you should make your character's as realistic and
interesting as possible?
One of the hardest things to develop in your writing, is
believable characters. This issue affects novice and advanced writers
alike, and
can make or break your written material!
The Script Styler
Character Profile Builder is a component that aids in the creation and building
of a believable character profile. |

|
Using an
innovative interface, you can create an all-round definition of your character,
choosing from over 20 dimensions
such as physical build,
attitudes to themselves, others, strengths, and weaknesses, to aid in
the building of a believable character.
Below is a screenshot of the
Script Styler
Character Profile Builder in action.
Figure 1 - Character Profile Builder
Looking at the screenshot above, you can see that the Character Profile Builder
is split into two panes :-
Summary Pane
This pane allows the viewing of the complete narrative that has been entered for
the character, broken down into the various dimensions.
Properties Pane
This pane allows the annotation of Character traits. These traits are
subdivided into 20+ dimensions that aid in creating believable characters.
Some of the dimensions available as as follows :-
| |
Physique & Appearance |
Aids in the creation of visual appeance of your
character |
| |
Habitual Body Language |
Aids in the creation of specific body language
habits |
| |
Ideals & Philosophy |
Aids in building the character's view on life |
| |
Strengths |
Aids in detailing their strengths |
| |
Childhood |
Aids in documenting influential childhood
memories |
In building your character, the Properties page uses a
mixture of selectable items to reduce the guesswork (see the list of potential
traits against the Physique item), as well as freeform text areas to annotate as
much information as you want when building your characters.
Effective use of this tool will aid in creating the believable characters you
need.
