The Homicide Witness and Victimization

The Effects of Witnessing the Violent Death of a Loved One 

Experience Project: I Was Witness to a Murder

Witnessing Violence and Death

Your Child: Childhood Trauma and its Effects 

Fact Sheet: Witnessing Violence 

Children Who Witness Parental Murder

What I’d like you to do is to research this matter as much as you can in order to portray it accurately. Witnesses of crime often have to deal with a big amount of trauma and fear in real life, and the least you can do is try to depict it as best as you can. 

Best of luck.

Someone just asked about childhood trauma. Another effect can be amnesia. Sometimes a person just forgets a stressful/traumatic event for what could be years until something triggers it. It sets in within a few days of the event. It’s a real thing and normally (upon return of the memory) the person just ignores it’s occurrence and depression can follow. - catcher-in-the-sky

Character Questionnaire --

I’ve recently started filling out character questionnaires and I decided to share one of my favorites. It’s great for writers and roleplayers alike, and aside from being a ton of fun to fill out, it allows you to really get to know your character. Therefore, if you’ve got time, I highly recommend trying it out. Credit for this questionnaire goes to this site, though I added my own questions and changed it up a bit.

Talk about your character’s name. What is it, and how is it pronounced? What does it mean? Does your character have any nicknames?

Post a picture of your character or describe what they look like in detail. Note any distinguishing facial features.

Describe your character’s personality.

What is your character like in relationships? Are they clingy? Faithful or unfaithful? Do they jump from one relationship to the other?

What kind of things does your character like? What do they dislike?

How does your character treat their friends and family? How about strangers? Enemies?

What kind of people does your character surround themselves with? Why?

Where was your character born? Where have they lived since then? Where is the place that they call home?

Where does your character go when they are angry?

What is your character’s biggest fear? Who have they told this to? Who would they never tell this to? Why?

Does your character have a secret? If so, what is it?

What makes your character laugh out loud? What makes them angry?

Has your character ever been in love? Have they ever had a broken heart?

Does your character have any flaws? What are they?

Then dig deeper by asking more unconventional questions:

What is in your characters refrigerator right now? On their bedroom floor? On their nightstand?

Your character is walking home in the dark when they hear some noises around the corner. What do they do? How would they react if they heard someone crying out for help?

When your character thinks of their childhood kitchen, what smell do they associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant?

Your character is doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for them to throw out? What is difficult for them to part with? Why?

It is Saturday at noon. What is your character doing? Give details. If they’re eating breakfast, what exactly do they eat? If they’re stretching out in the backyard to sun, what kind of blanket or towel do they lie on?

While driving down the road, your character hits a dog and swerves off the road into a tree. Do they get out to see to the car first, or the animal?

Your character is in a relationship and they come home to find their partner in bed with another person. How do they react? How do they feel?

What is one strong memory that has stuck with your character from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?

Your character is getting ready for a night out. Where are they going? What do they wear? Who will they be with?

Your character gets into a discussion about death and dying. How would they describe the perfect death? Do they believe in life after? Are they afraid of death?

A friend of your character calls, they want to hang out. What do they do? If they stay home, what will your character suggest they do? If they go out, where will they go?

More of these can eventually be found here.

Things you should know about each of your characters

What would completely break your character?

What was the best thing in your character’s life?

What seemingly insignificant memories stuck with your character?

Does your character work so that they can support their hobbies or use their hobbies as a way of filling up the time they aren’t working?

What is your character reluctant to tell people?

How does your character feel about sex?

How many friends does your character have?

How many friends does your character want?

What would your character make a scene in public about?

What would your character give their life for?

What are your character’s major flaws?

What does your character pretend or try to care about?

How does the image your character tries to project differ from the image they actually project?

What is your character afraid of?

What is something most people in your setting do that your character things is dumb?

Where would your character fall on a politeness/rudeness scale?
