WRITING - Character Generation

Interested in well rounded, fascinating characters that leap off the page? Then the following are some links to assist you in generating them. This was originally posted by prophet224 on the yWriter Google Group.

To quote the prophet:

"Here are a bunch of suggestions. There's a lot here. Go to the
bottom for a large pdf download of character questions and things to
know about your character. I hope this helps! :) Most of this stuff
is related to RPG character creation, but it should help and serve
double duty!
