Character storage discussion

Haveing a backstory is important, but don't write EVERYthing in the history.. i mean...let yourself develop it more before restricting yourself with a sigle history. Write it so that there would be room to change it and not in a way that you'll go 'no, i cna't change this, i already decided so in the history!'. Guys. History can be changed. Just go with the flow and let the history evolve. My historys are usually detailed at the start, and more general about the present time. Why should i change my STORY to so that it goes well with the history? Your history doesn't control you.

Name:
History:
family:

▶ A slightly abusive childhood. Not major like getting beaten, but something along the lines of emotional/verbal abuse.

Maggie was raised in the craziest famialy ever. Her parents were hipies back in the day and just because it was in their past deosn't mean that they didn't keep their old habits. Like drugs and drinking. When her dad was drunk he'd go on angry ramgaes. Throughign plates, flipping tabels....hitting Maggie. This made her scared of him...and scared of makeing him angry. Her mum wasn't any better. she was always high on one drug or another. In her high stupor she'd usally rant about how maggie was an accidental birth. unwanted.

(you can add more if you wnat. that could be a star/baisis)


▶ An accidental mass murder including fire. Lots of fire. The point is, she is running from the police and stumbles upon this small town, where she eventually finds refuge.

WHen she turned 13 she finally snapped. She lost control of her powers and burnt her house down...with her paretns in it. The police suspected arson and she was the only suspect so she was hunted down hence her refuge in said town.

▶ A suicide attempt at a young age AnD diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder and Pyromania.

When she was 11 she tried to kill herself by jumping off of a building.....but the building wasn't high enough and all she got was a few injuries...and an appointment with a phsycologist.

▶ She is also a performer in an interesting burlesque show, she plays a pyromaniacal pyrate.

Not much you can really say apart frm you've said above. about the shoiw cause idk what you have in mind.





those are just starters adn ideas. I'd recommened if you expand it to suite you tatses...cause it wont be so fun or great rping someone else's history.

hope that helps ^^

and from there you develop the personality. personality comes from expweiances and events. so base he personality around that.

pfft kk. ^^ np!!! if you dont like anything its yours to change and whatnot.

Firstly it would help if you give me a guidline of what you want in it like sora did up there ^^^^ not neccisarily lIKE that but similar. and maybe a bit of her personality. not a lot just a tad

^^ kk. then what is the group about?

like. raven above here gave me a list of what she was looking for. i can't do anything with an empty slate ^^

(kk/ i havent seen maleficent but here goes nothing:)

actually. anything spussific in the early history?

(kk)

At a very young age, things went wrong for Antionette(?). Her dad died in a battle. She was left with only her motehr to care for her. Everything was going fine, apart from a lack of a father figure....that is until she was 16 when her motehr died of an incurable disease that left her an orphan. She had no otehr relative so she had to live by herself. It was especially hard because she had to live in the same house she grew up in...only alone and with the burden of paying the rent on her shouilders. Through this darkness came a guy. This guy made her forget all her worries. He took car eof her. However, because she had invested her heart so much into him this man his betrayel was even more heartbreaking. THis experiance and her past had heardened her heart to a steely stone. She couldn't handle the fear of being hurt again. Due to the lack of a father figure and a loss of love and care, and because of her love's betrayel she had lost the ability to trust...and in turn, to be trusted.

How that sound?

i couldn't add any later history or anymore since i don't know the plot of the group

(aka the song i listened to while writing the history)

^^ yay ~¡

ill help woth the person tomos cause im on my phone now.

im thinjing shw is cynical

I need help with my characters history, she's related to the god hades and she doesn't know her mother, but she's been through so much pain and she hurts herself, her friends were killed in front of her. I need help with a good history for her>_< I'm not good at these things.

Maybe figure out the order of the tragedies in her life?

Perhaps start with what happened to your character as a child? Like if she didn't know her mother, who did she live with?/who brought her up?/Like or hate that person or did that person hold some sort of significant place (good or bad) in your character's life?

Then lead up to why she hurts herself (perhaps this could be something to do with her childhood, or she has dreams that lead her to hurt herself, and that which gives her so much pain, or perhaps it's a social thing?), and why/how her friends were killed right before her eyes?

Alright what character have you got and what are looking for in a history (like things you like and things you don't like for a history...)?

Sure :) it might help me help you :)

Alright, there are a couple of things you could put down as her history. Did you want tragic? Ordinary? Or something amazing?

Well for tragic, you could always talk about how her mother died--how did her mother die? And why doesn't Madilynn not know who her father is? (Sorry, my style of helping is to usually ask like a thousands questions first ^^")

OMG SOMEONE REPLIED

Lol so for history you could elaborate on Madilynn's relationship with her mother--like was it a good relationship, hence why when her mother died of cancer, it hit her really hard?

Also, I might have missed it, but is she a born Vampire or turned?

@jessica:

start off with dot pooints of what happened in her history and then for each dot point expand and write something about it.
for example:

~ her friend betrayed her:
a bully was hiting her an the friend just watched, this made her weary of making friends.
more than that of course.


maybe even make a link to her personality. how did you person turn out the way she did?






your charrie's personality: (i belive history and personality are closley linked.


~ She likes to smile and laugh.
why? you say she had a tragic history and her mum died. so why does she like smiling and laughing? was there somthing or someone in her history that encouraged her to keep on smiling? maybe a teacher supported her? or she promised her mother to live life fully?
you said her dad left her mum and her? did that impact her in some way? maybe later on in her life she stayed away from boys cause she was afraid they'd leave her? mayeb she did date soemone in the past?

~ She just has a very fun, nice, warm personality.
again, write why? what happened in her history to make her so positive?

~ She can be merciless and ruthless if needed, or if she's hungry though.
again, why? maybe you could say because her dad left them then she became like that? you need to find a reason for this part of her. and a reason why she can be merciless and ruthless while still having a warm and nice personality?
maybe a friend died cause she was too kind so she learnt to make a personality swictch when needed?

sorry mine is so long ^^' haha

I'll leave this to Cookie~~

:O ni nina you doing good!! think of this as training and ..lol idk you are good too!!!

Lol Cookie~I don't have time atm haha. I didn't want to leave Jessica hanging, but I got things to do~~

But pretty much, it's all about the 'why' that's how I see character histories~~

@jessica:

in my opinion, every part of the personality has to make sence and should be linked somhow to her past.

for example, if someone killed her mother it wouldn't make sence she'd be a happy-go-lucky charatcer...unless someone in her history made her positive. maybe her father was supportive? maybe someone put the mum's killer to justice? maybe a boyfriend helped her get throught it?

i mean...if someone killed y mum i wouldn't exactly be the positive type.....unless of course the mum is abusive and horrid to the child. then they'd be HAPPY that they are dead. then the sad personality due to abuse can be shifted to happy at freedom but still maybe tramatiized somehow.

of course there are some cases when even though their past is hard or sad, they manage to turn out happy and nice like with harry potter. Harry grew up neglected so i gues he learnt to treasure the friendships he made? idk. to me draco's character makes more sence. draco's father was cruel and mean and stuff....so the son of course took on the father's ways...yet the mother had some kindness so draco was able to brake away at the end??

see nina i'm not making snece!! i'm ranting too much!!

haha yeah!! cu <3 leave it to me <3

Pffttt you're making sense Cookie--that's how I look at personality and history too, and why I can never not write a personality. They go hand in hand.

yeah!! totes!!

☆Jessica☆~Saving people, hunting things, It's the family business.~ wrote: "Okay, thank you!!"

is that helpful? anything else?

also as nina said, write in the history about how she became a vamp and what that did to her personality.

YAYA have fun ~~~ spread my good words around ~~

haha yayayayayay <3 <3

good on ya *high five*

Hmm. So I was thinking for my character Le Boogieman I could do rhymes for the history since a lot of movies I watch about the Boogieman, they're usually musical and rhyme all the time. Sounds good?

hahah yeah!!!

Sure thing :) how can I help?

Okay my questions for you, and things you can put in the history for your character:

How did Snow Daring get his slaves?

What happened to his relations?

You can expand on both of those things as part of his history :)

P.s. lol I've used that face before! He's cute :)

Ah fair enough. So maybe just write something about why he has no relations?

Lol lead the way!

Sorry I disappeared! Did you post in your character thread?

⭐Jєรรเςค⭐Silent tears are the ones that hurt the most.~ wrote: "I'm terrible at making up history xD Could I get some help again? *~*"

sure!! sorry for not seeing this until now!!!!! what else for the history do you need help with?
