[quote=@Altered Tundra] Yes, this comes from the status discussion started by [@Rain] and continued by several other members, so why not have a healthy medium to continue the discussion that isn't limited to 200 characters? So, to summarize, we have some saying they are useful because it encourages creativity while others claiming the concept of character sheets are pointless. And then there's the middle ground of going the simplistic route (this was said by [@Chai]). So, where do you stand when it comes to character sheets? Are you for them? Against them? Selectively for them when it's necessary? Or do you prefer to just use the simple approach of pic, name, age, gender, and personality traits? Discuss! [/quote] I didn't think character sheets/profiles were necessary at all oh no, not me, I didn't need them, what for? until my uncle, a well-known story teller, actor and writer of books for the younger ones, made me notice my characters were so plain he could iron his shirts on them, then I started to study the CS's and now I guess I'm all for it. Again thanks for giving me a motivation to write.
