Character biography template tumblr search engine

Here's my ultimate character profile template that helps define crucial details of any important character in your story, may additionally help with outline, plot holes, and even writer's block if you're stuck or losing interest:

Name:

Gender:

Personality type:(unnecessary, but may be helpful with making your cast diverse and assigning more realistic fears and desires, e.g., enneagram)

Desires:(what does your character want?)

Fears:(what keeps them from getting it?)

Beliefs and misbeliefs:(what does your character need to change their mind about in order to overcome their fear and get what they desire? There's also beliefs in this part, because some things your character believes in don't necessarily change, but if they can somehow affect the plot, why not mention it? It doesn't necessarily have to be bad)

Social life:(how does your character behave around their family? Their friends? Strangers? Rivals? Enemies?)

Addiction:(what habits does your character possess? What or who do they depend on? Do they always need something in their hands to fidget with? Or do they often ask for a light?)

Self image:(how does your character view themselves personally? What are their imperfections they feel bad about? What are the parts of their appearance they're proud of? Do not confuse with physical description!)

Physical decription:(do not confuse with the former! What does your character look like to others?)

Backstory: (here's your time to shine by using everything we established in previous parts by explaining the reason behind each (but not necessarily every single one) part. For example: where did your character's fears come from? Their desire? Their misbeliefs? The ugly scar they're so uneasy about? Why do they smoke or need fidget toys? Why are they more friendly to strangers than their own family? Etc.)
