We all know characters, from books, from real life, from movies, from t.v., from RPs... The problem of course comes when one wants to create one of the things all for themselves. There are questions abound the second the thought enters the mind. Questions must be answered regarding the characters race, genre, species, attitudes, behaviors, appearance, etc.
We're here to help with all that. We're also here to rid the world of the horrible cliches that tend to be scattered around rather liberally. Here we have a collection of essays/checklists/hints/etc on character creation.
Right now we have only a couple of sections, dealing with developing personality and backstory as well as a few minor issues. However, more will come as soon as Kaie is able to force herself to write them.

Cliches, and the people they hurt
