Originally this was put up by ToeSama on CN. But it fits this thread and so I figured that I'd quote it. I found it intriguing and it really helped me get a few of my characters nailed down.

After seeing this on a site I visit often I figured I'd bring this over here for you guys to practice with.
This is an exersize to give your characters depth and for you to think of them in other ways. This gives you a chance to really flesh out what makes your characters tick. This is great for not only the writers around here, but for the comic makers as well, as bringing out character development is never frowned upon. Don't give answers like "unknown" to any of these. Really take some time and shape your characters.
Here's your material:
0. Name
PHYSIOLOGY
1. Sex/Gender
2. Age
3. Height/Weight
4. Color of Hair/Eyes/Skin
5. Posture
6. Appearance (Good-looking, over/underweight, clean, neat, pleasant, untidy; shape of face/head/limbs)
7. Defects (deformities, abnormalities, birthmarks, diseases)
8. Heredity (inherited traits from character's family)
SOCIOLOGY
1. Social Class (lower, middle, upper)
2. Occupation (Type of work, hours of work, income, condition of work, union or non-union, attitude towards organization, suitability for work)
3. Education (amount, kind of schools, marks, favorite subjects, poorest subjects, aptitudes)
4. Home Life (Parents living, earning power, orphan, parents separated or divorced, parents' habits, parents' mental development, parents' vices, neglect, character's marital status)
5. Race
6. Religion and/or Nationality
7. Place in Community ('leader among friends', clubs, sports)
8. Political affiliations.
9. Amusements/Hobbies (books, newspapers, magazines he/she reads, etc.)
PSYCHOLOGY
1. Moral Standards
2. Personal Premise/Ambition
3. Frustrations
4. Temperament (choleric, easygoing, pessimistic, optimistic, etc.)
5. Attitude toward Life (resigned, militant, defeatist, etc.)
6. Complexes (obsessions, inhibitions, superstitions, phobias, etc.)
7. Extrovert? Introvert? Ambivert?
8. Abilities (languages, talents)
9. Qualities (imagination, judgement, taste, poise)
10. IQ |

Hey, that character info material is really useful and I have always found it fun to use. I'd recommend it for customizing your character accurately. 
Edit: Can somebody make a different version for the net-navis as well? |
