Ash’s Guide to RPG Personality & Background is by far the most complete character sheet guide I have ever found. The personality aspects it makes you think about are quite extensive.  Some folks hate creation systems and prefer things to be more organic and that is lovely if that is how you like to do it! But for some, they enjoy the perspectives that detailed guides make you consider when you go through them. This is the best one I have ever seen. Everything's gonna be okay, bb. ♥

The Calamity happened in the year 1572. I then take the backgrounds generated, and try to work them into the timeline. From childhood, on up. https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages...Greenheart

I have heard of people using dice generators but have never done it myself. It is too much out of my control.  Everything's gonna be okay, bb. ♥

I think I'll let Autriche and Jilan grow organically (for the most part), but Mathye just got a full backstory. XD Jilan Layali|Autriche Vallano|Mathye Larkin
