My Personal Character Files: The 6 Box Method
This is for my science fiction WIP, so some things may need to be added/modified depending on your genre. I will also include a screenshot of an example at the bottom so y’all can see how I set it up in my Doc.
1. The Quick Ref
I use this as the first page of my “Character FIles” Doc.
I put all my important characters in a list, then add their height, age, and the page their complete file can be found on. This is helpful when I need to know if a character would have to crane their neck upward to look another character in the eyes. Comes up more than I’d have guessed.
2. The Individual Profile: 6 Box Method
I add and subtract stuff based on how important the character is. Without further ado…
Box One: Reference Photo
This is where I add in any actor, model, drawing, etc that I base the look on. When I don’t need one, sometimes I’ll put in a picture that represents the character’s style.
Box Two: The Introduction
Full Name
Nickname(s)
Age
Occupation
Current home
Situation How do they enter this story?
Motivation What do they want?
Favorite quote/saying
Biggest strength
Biggest issue
Strongest trait
Box Three: Behavior
Personality
Habits
Ambition/Short and Long Term Goals
Greatest fear(s)
Phobias
Biggest secret(s)
Social skills
Interior talents
Box Four: Background
Home moon/planet Apophis
Important history
Family
Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Colleagues
Finances
Education
Phys. Health/Mental Health
Religion
Romantic/sexual preference
Interests/Hobbies
Box Five: Appearance & Physicality
Height
Body type
Skin tone/Ethnicity/Species
Facial description
Prominent/distinguishing features
Dress
Mannerisms
Physical talents
Box Six: Speech
Normal tone
Language & accent
Favorite phrases
3. The Example
Rey from The Force Awakens.

Summary: They had never left Insomnia before in their lives, never killed anything beyond a practice dummy, never seen the stars. The four of them were ecstatic to get out from under that dome and see the world, but they didn’t understand why they had to take the girl with them. She seemed to know even less about the world than they did…that was, until Insomnia fell.
A game walkthrough exploring canon and non-canon aspects, game lore, fan theories, romance, fluff, other sci-fi and fantasy references, and heavens knows what else.
About as close to a Doctor Who Crossover as you can get without actually being one. No Doctor Who knowledge required.
Spooky Prompts
1. “Sorry I ruined your birthday and summoned a demon, but they were real nice. They even helped us bake the cake.”
2. “Wait- you’re real?”
3. “Can we take a moment to take notice that I did not only sort them by blood type, but by packaging as well? Like- I’m amazing.”
4. “So am I supposed to be weirded out that you’re a werewolf? Dude, I know.”
5. “Looks like we got ourselves a human.”
6. “What are you cooking in the cauldron?”
7. “Thou shall not enter thy room, heathen!”
8. “Zombies have feelings too!”
9. “I’m banging pots and pans and yelling so this negative energy gets away from me. If I yell and scream loudly enough I think I’ll scare it. AHHHHHHH.”
10. “So, is Halloween your favourite time of year by default then?”
11. “You’re telling me all this time you could have used magic!”
12. “I have a flying broom stick but it’s a bit temperamental.”

Comfort me
✦ Gladiolus Amicitia & Carmen Mirabile (~) . : Word count: 1242 . : Warnings: SFW. Hurt/Comfort. Mentions of scars and battle trauma. Original Character.
Summary: Puzzle pieces of times after the Altissia battle where hobbies meet, and company is needed.
It’s a new day. A new morning to awaken to were everything continues to feel different and unpersonal, gray and numb as the sun moves up higher up the sky. The sheets in that hotel room are pleasantly warm at least, as she moves to sit up in bed, unable to properly do much more without having a wave of vertigo submitting her to dizziness.
Still sore, her hands move slowly over her body, shaking as her fingers scheme over her arms, torso and finally her neck. It has become almost a ritual, to try and say something while her fingers dodge the harsher lines of a scar that wasn’t there a few days prior. It still hurts, painful and throbbing, before she decides to let hands fall to her lap and head hung a little.
Her thoughts are still fuzzy and trying to focus on a particular memory makes her head hurt once more. What day it is? Everything is so quiet…
Has… everyone left for good?
The last time one of the party came to properly see her was a few days ago. To deliver a meal, an awkward conversation that wasn’t met with any verbal reply, a promise to return that was becoming harder to fullfill… A sad smile took over Carmen’s features. Of course… She was a threat now. A nuisance too, if you could add.
Maybe today… Maybe today she could walk out of the room to meet the others…
A wheeze. A crash. A thud.
The vase on the bedside table went down to the floor with her, the pieces of them both mingling as she fought the unpleasant feeling of frustration.

Questions About Creating Your OCs
‘Cause sometimes the stories of how OCs come to be are just as interesting as the OCs, themselves. Tell me how your virtual kids came into the world.
What was the first element of your OC that you remember considering (name, appearance, backstory, etc.)?
Did you design them with any other characters/OCs from their universe in mind?
How did you choose their name?
In developing their backstory, what elements of the world they live in played the most influential parts?
Is there any significance behind their hair color?
Is there any significance behind their eye color?
Is there any significance behind their height?
What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?
Are they based off of you, in some way?
If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person?
Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?
What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
How far past the canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story, if at all?
If you had to narrow it down to 2 things that you MUST keep in mind while working with your OC, what would those things be?

“Happy birthday.” Gladio & Isla
I am very tired and groggy, hopefully this makes sense. <3
Isla stretched out on the bed. Still half-asleep and only vaguely aware of waking, her muscles twinged with the effort of movement. She rolled onto her front, slid her arms underneath her pillow and exhaled a deep breath, relaxing and eager to sleep a little longer.
Then, something in her brain twigged that she slept too long, and she was alert. Her eyes snapped open and she pushed herself up in bed on her forearms. Outside was dark - as it always was - but the clock on the side table told her it was almost midday.
“Shit!” Isla hissed under her breath and scrambling to get out from underneath the heavy covers. Her foot caught on the sheet and she just managed to catch herself from falling face first into the side table. “Shit!”
She was late and behind schedule. She grabbed her clothes off the chair in the bedroom, quickly yanking off her pyjamas and shoving on a t-shirt and her jeans. There was meant to be a delivery to The Shield’s Respite today. A big one, and if she wasn’t there to get it then she would miss it and the bar would be out of stock of the basics for another few weeks. And the bar was due to open at midday. She still needed to get the tills on and finish cleaning and setting up downstairs.
Charging through the apartment above the bar, she scanned for any signs of Gladiolus, so she could tell him off for not getting her up. When she couldn’t see him - presuming he had made himself scarce so he didn’t have to endure her wrath - she made a mental note to chastise him later and charged out of the door that and down the stairs that led into the main bar from the living area.
There was upbeat music coming from the wall mounted speakers and that sound alone stopped her in her tracks at the bottom of the stairs. The bar wasn’t open yet - there was still fifteen minutes until opening time - but everything was pristine and in place. The delivery manifest was on the bar counter, signed and ticked off. Everything was clean, organized, and there were three people milling around, finishing off the jobs before the bar opened.
Gladiolus grinned from behind the counter where he was drying glasses. “Mornin’ Sunshine.”
Isla squinted at him and crossed to the counter. “Why didn’t you wake me?”
“I thought I’d let you sleep in.” Gladiolus put the dry glass on the shelf, put his cloth to one side and leaned on the counter towards her. “Happy birthday.”
“Birth…” A sheepish realization swept up Isla’s spine. She’d forgotten her own birthday? “Oh.”
“You forgot?”
“Apparently.” She shrugged in an ‘oh well’ sort of way. “It’s just my birthday. Not like it’s special.”
“Of course it is.” Gladiolus protested, stopping her from coming around the bar. “You get to relax. Delivery is done, Ruby and Daniel have everything set up. Georgio, Miles, and Reagan are coming in early to cover for you.” He put his hands on her shoulders, leaning in to kiss her forehead. “You get a day off, for once.”
“You’ve got this all planned, don’t you?”
Gladiolus smirked, “I’ve had it in the works for a while. Knew you’d freak if I just sprang this on you without making sure the place would stay running. Now,” he took a deep breath and slid two fingers through the belt loops on her jeans, walking with her towards the stairs, “how about you have a long soak in the tub and I’ll make you a late breakfast.”
“Sounds wonderful.” Isla smiled, leaning on his arm as he led the way up to their apartment.
“What do you fancy?”
“Hmm… eggs over easy, waffles, hashbrowns, bacon and…” she curled her fingers into the front of his shirt, “you.”
Gladiolus chuckled, leaning down to kiss her, “done.”

Fun Fall/Halloween Themed Plot Ideas
~Visit a Local Corn Maze~
A thread that takes place in a corn maze can be lots of fun! You can have muses who know each other going through it together, or you can have two muses meet in the maze (one or both of them possibly lost?) and they decide to pair up to get out? These mazes are also fun because they often offer tasty, festive food and hayrides! Some of them are also open after sundown, for a little bit of a spookier vibe.
~Pumpkin Carving/Decorating~
Whether Muse A and B are roommates who want to do some decorating for a party or strangers taking a carving class together, this can be fun for all kinds of interactions! Looking for somethings with a little more humor? Maybe your muses have been wrangled into carving for some other reason and they both have their own ideas about the best way to do things?
~Bonfire/Campfire~
Whether your muses are hanging out in their backyard, going to a bonfire on the beach, or intentionally trying to scare each other by having their bonfire deep in the forest, you’ve got some fun options. Looking for a first meeting? Maybe a backyard bonfire gets a little out of control? Or maybe Muse A spots Muse B’s bonfire and decides to ‘crash’ the party? Or is worried about the fire? Or stops by for an entirely different reason?
~Making Candy Apples~
Just like with the pumpkin carving, you’ve got a lot of fun options behind the how and why of the situation surrounding the candy apple creating. It doesn’t have to be two muses who already know each other. Plus! You get to do some research for some fun candy apple recipes!
~Shopping for Costumes~
Again - this one can be fun whether your muses know each other or not. Shopping for a ‘couples costume’ and not being able to agree on who/what to be. Or shopping individually and needing someone’s advice on how it looks? Muse A bailing on their party when Muse B invites them to go as a 'couple’ to theirs because they don’t want to go alone? And this isn’t shopping, but how about Muse A and Muse B showing up to a party as the ‘other half’ each other’s costumes? (Bacon and eggs, for a silly example) And for the rest of the night people assume they’re together when they don’t even know each other.
~Spooky Movie Marathon~
Plonk your muses down and have them enjoy some classic (sometimes campy) Halloween movies - Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Casper, Addams Family, etc. They don’t know each other? No problem! Have them chaperoning a children’s event or babysitting their friends’ kids. "You’re babysitting?! I thought I was!“ "Well, since you’re here you want to stay and watch with us?”
~Pumpkin Spice Scavenger Hunt &/or Tasting Party~
How many pumpkin spice foods can your muses find?! How many of them are they actually willing to try eating? This one might be harder for two muses meeting for the first time, but maybe they’ve been thrown together as part of a party scavenger hunt - they were both invited by a mutual friend?
