30 uncommon character development questions!
Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.
he definitely has dimples; very prominent when he laughs, or when he purses his lips in any fashion. he has a clumping of gnarly crisscrossing slices on the insides of his wrists and on the insides of his elbows. he has a few moon-shaped ones in that patch of skin behind the lobe of the ear, behind both ears. his hands look like they’ve been mangled a few times, and some of his fingernails are broken too short, or gone completely. toenails, too.
Do they have any verbal tics? Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words or getting their thoughts across clearly?
new words feel very much like old cotton in a thirsty mouth when he reads something deeply profound, and tries to mimic it. he’s had a few verbal blunders which were wholly embarrassing, and he has refused to repeat the story of whence it happened. “Yea, verily” is a vocal tic; “thus” and “forsooth”, and “perhaps” and “perchance” fly out more times than I’d like.
If you were to pick one song — and only one song — to describe your character, what would it be and why?
Is your character an introvert or an extrovert? How do they handle big crowds of people?
i n t r o v e r t, surprisingly. he can babble until the rooster gets tired, but it’s an exhausting effort to be given the brief of standing in the open flame of interaction for so long. he is a simple folk with a need for solitude and his own thoughts. he flees when necessary, only speaking amiably by accident or when spotting a familiar face.
