Editing Creating a Character in Pause (section)

==Concept==

Before even touching the character sheet, a Player should put together a short description of his or her character. Start off with the physical description – height, weight, eyes, skin, so forth and so on. From there, describe the character’s goals and aspirations, as well as what qualities he or she believes can be used to achieved those goals.

Finally, add some nuances about the character. What does the character do for a living? What sort of people do the character associate with? What is the character’s outlook of the world? Why does the character do whatever he or she does? Try not to make it too descriptive though: leave some of the details to be learned through role-playing.

This concept of the character will aid the Player in making his or her choices during the character creation process, as well as to provide a general set of role-playing rules for him or her to follow pertaining to the character. A head-strong character will not act meek or shy unless there is a good reason for it, for instance.
