Quick ways to build a character if you're struggling

Start with an existing character to take out most of the work. Just change the name, personality, goals, appearance, motivation, backstory and abilities.

Take a classic RPG archetype and invert it. Instead of alive elf, dead elf. Instead of alive space marine, dead space marine. Instead of dead vampire, some guy.

Wait for another player to finish making their character, then grab their character sheet and try to gaslight them into thinking you wrote it.

Wait until the campaign starts. Once the GM introduces an NPC, stop the campaign and declare that one's yours now.

Pick one flaw from each member of your game group and combine them into one highly insulting character.

Make a character in another, more difficult system first so making one in this system suddenly feels much easier in this comparison.

Just search your name on Deviantart and see what pops up. Luck of the draw!

Set up a specialist sub-subcommittee to investigate the problem. They predict that, if funding continues, you should have a functioning character within 5-7 weeks.

Just don't bother. We all know that scheduling errors are going to cancel the game anyway. Why delude yourself?

MEN WHO NEVER LEARNED HOW TO BREAK

𒁍 “I don’t talk about it because nothing good ever came from me doing that.”

𒁍 “I learned early that pain was just something you carried quietly.”

𒁍 “No one asked if I was okay. They just assumed I could handle it.”

𒁍 “I don’t remember the last time I felt relief, just less pressure for a moment.”

𒁍 “I didn’t grow numb overnight. It happened slowly enough to feel normal.”

𒁍 “I don’t feel angry. I feel hollow.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how to explain how bad it gets without scaring people.”

𒁍 “I learned to lock things away so deep even I can’t reach them.”

𒁍 “I learned that needing anything was dangerous.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how to ask for help without hating myself for it.”

𒁍 “I don’t explode because that would mean someone would notice.”

𒁍 “I keep going because stopping feels worse.”

𒁍 “I don’t know who I am without the weight. I just know I can’t put it down.”

𒁍 “I don’t talk about the thoughts that show up when everything’s quiet.”

𒁍 “I learned to survive by turning myself off.”

𒁍 “I don’t trust happiness. It feels temporary and suspicious.”

𒁍 “I don’t cry because I don’t know where it would end.”

𒁍 “I learned that pain was normal and rest was weakness.”

𒁍 “I don’t know how much of me is left under all this control.”

𒁍 “I keep everything locked down because once it breaks, it breaks for real.”

𒁍 “I’ve been holding my breath so long I forgot what air feels like.”

𒁍 “I survived by becoming someone I don’t recognize.”

Quick tips for writing Sleep Deprivation

☽ Memory becomes absolute garbage. Like “why am I in the kitchen?” garbage. “What was I saying?” garbage. Their brain is running on buffering screens and regret.

☽ Fine motor skills? Ha. They’re dropping everything. Pens. Phones. Entire moral compass. They’re basically a malfunctioning claw machine.

☽ Hallucinations creep in. That jacket on the chair? Suddenly a person. That noise? Definitely doom. Everything becomes mildly haunted.

☽ Time gets weird. Five minutes feel like a year. A full hour disappears and they swear they blinked wrong.

☽ Irritation skyrockets. They get mad at chairs. At air. At gravity. At the audacity of other humans continuing to exist.

☽ Their voice sounds weird. Slow, scratchy, like they swallowed sand.

☽ They walk like a drunk baby giraffe. Walls suddenly jump closer. Floors rise unexpectedly. Coordination said: “I’m out.”

☽ Zoning out becomes a hobby. They stare at random objects like they’re trying to understand quantum mechanics.

☽ Vision blurs in and out. Like someone smeared Vaseline over their eyeballs out of spite.

☽ Their body just hurts. Not a dramatic pain, just the “why does my skeleton feel like it’s buzzing?” pain.

☽ Food cravings go feral. They’d fight someone for a stale cookie.

☽ Terrible choices. They will absolutely say “I’m fine” while making decisions that end in disaster.

☽ Random emotional implosions. Crying because their sock feels wrong? Yes.

☽ Cold hands. Cold feet. Cold heart. (Okay maybe not the last one, but it feels like it.)

20 Ways to Show Extreme Fear in Your Writing

As I dive into researching signs of fear for my horror WIP, I wanted to share some of the most compelling and visceral reactions I’ve come across. Whether you’re writing a chilling scene or crafting a character’s panic, these 20 signs of fear can help bring tension and realism to your story.

Physical Reactions

Hyperventilating — sucking in air but never feeling like it’s enough

Chest tightens — feels like a weight or hands pressing down

Limbs shaking violently, knees buckling

Complete loss of muscle control — collapsing or unable to stand

Cold sweat soaking through clothes

Heart hammering so hard they feel it in their throat or head

Tunnel vision — the world narrowing down to one terrifying focal point

Ringing in the ears or sudden deafness, like the world drops away

Dizziness / feeling faint / vision blurring

Dry mouth — unable to speak or even scream

Uncontrollable Behavior

Screaming / sobbing / gasping — involuntary vocal outbursts

Panic run — bolting without thinking, tripping over everything

Clawing at their own skin / chest / throat — like trying to escape their body

Begging / pleading out loud even if no one’s there

Repeating words or phrases — “No, no, no” / “This isn’t happening”

Hiding instinctively — diving under tables, closets, or corners

Desperate grabbing — reaching for someone, anything solid

Loss of bladder or bowel control (for extreme terror)

Total mental shutdown — frozen, slack-jawed, staring blankly

Memory blackout — later can’t recall what happened during the worst moment

On writing sexual tension

⊹ standing too close. like just barely not touching. why are their shoulders breathing on each other??

⊹ conversations that sound normal but feel like foreplay. “pass the salt” has never been so loaded.

⊹ one of them says something flirty and the other freezes for 0.2 seconds like “oh.”

⊹ eyes dropping to lips and then—back up. with effort.

⊹ holding eye contact just a little too long. like... are they gonna kiss or duel??

⊹ unintentional physical contact that lasts one second too long and now they’re both broken

⊹ a hand on the small of the back. that’s it. that’s the tweet.

⊹ tension so thick that other characters start noticing like “hey are you two okay?” (they are not)

⊹ “accidental” sleepovers. “oh no there’s only one bed.” yeah. suuuure.

⊹ biting back a smile. biting back a moan. biting anything really.

⊹ one of them walks away and the other has to physically restrain themselves from watching the hips

⊹ lots of sighing. frustrated sighs. horny sighs. “i want to kiss you but I’m emotionally unavailable” sighs.

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.
