[QUOTE="Grymar, post: 4955850, member: 41371"] At the beginning of my most recent campaign, I sent this to all of the players. It was as much meant to get them to think about the personality of their character as it was for backgrounds: Of the following questions, pick 3-5 to answer (or more if you wish). Be as detailed or sparse as you'd like. You are welcome to return the answers just to me, or to everyone. * what do you consider your greatest achievement? * what is your idea of perfect happiness? * what is your current state of mind? * what is your favorite occupation? * what is your most treasured possession? * what or who is the greatest love of your life? * what is your favorite journey? * what is your most marked characteristic? * when and where were you the most happiest? * what is it that you most dislike? * what is your greatest fear? * what is your greatest extravagance? * which living person do you most despise? * what is your greatest regret? * which talent would you most like to have? * where would you like to live? * what do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? * what is the trait you most deplore in yourself? * what is the trait you most deplore in others? * what do you most value in your friends? * whose are your heroes in real life? * which living person do you most admire? * what do you consider the most overrated virtue? * on what occasions do you lie? * which words or phrases do you most overuse? * if you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? * how would you like to die? * what is your motto?
