Personality

A character's personality is broken up into credo, disposition, and motivation.


CREDO
A credo is like a specific set of rules to live by. Every interesting character has some credo be it a code of honor, sense of morality, strict religion, compulsive modus operandi, etc. Even the characters that balk at the concept of rules are following the 1 rule of never adhering to rules (as a rule) and such anarchic behavior would be their credo. Describe your character's credo as you see fit and give it a name like "Honor Among Thieves" or "Eye for an Eye" or "Equitable Justice".


DISPOSITION
Label your character's role from a narrative perspective. This can be something like "comedic relief," "fearless leader," "lovable jerk," "dark mysterious one," or even an anime trope like "tsundere," "cool rival," or "darudere" and whatnot. Then, write up a short description of your character's personality and mannerisms. Do they talk a lot? Are they always eating or telling jokes? Do they prefer to be quiet or loud? Are they friendly or mean? When nothing in particular is going on, what are they usually up to


MOTIVATION
Think of something that drives your character and motivates them. It can be a constant struggle like seeking fame or trying to prove themselves or it can be a specific long-term goal like avenging their family or solving an ancient mystery. Name this motivation such as "Bravado" for someone who always wants to prove themselves or "Icon" for someone who seeks fame.
