Do you have any ideas for different descriptions for characters (more details explained in a moment)?
I really enjoy writing in written RPs (in this case, Warrior Cats), and long messages are welcome there, but I'd also like to be able to write more detailed profiles. For that, I need descriptions of various things, but I'm really bad at describing things (writing in detail works fine, though :)), so it would be great if you could help me out a bit. (It would also be very helpful for future OC stories.)
I'm not looking for anything specific about characters, I'd rather create lists like this:3
I would need it for the following things:
Profile:
– Appearance of the character (more precisely for the gait and for the charisma)
– Appearance (physique always causes me difficulties)
– Strengths and weaknesses (mental and physical)
– Character traits (I would like to bring more individuality into this)
– Likes and dislikes (sounds simple, but I always think of the same things like swimming, climbing, etc. or social contacts, blah blah blah xD)
– Fears and desires (I simply need more variety there too)
General rp'n:
– Here theoretically also the appearance as above.. I don't know if I see any big differences
– Atmosphere (around the character)
– "random" things (like ear twitching and such)
– Look (how does the character look, eyes also say a lot)
– and whatever else you can think of
The first four in the profile would be the most important ones, and in the general RP, that's basically everything. If you can think of something completely different to add, I'd be very happy to hear any new ideas, too. :3
I really hope for some creative answers:3

Better play DnD, then you know what high-quality reels are.
What you lack is the ability to write signs. Simple stickers can put together anyone who has some imagination. These are just listing properties.
With shieldings, you’ve got the qualities of life. Could be too much for a sticker, depending on what you expect.
An example:
Profile: an old oak standing alone in a field.
Shield: with the determination of countless decades, this raised oak defies wind and weather while she alone stretches her branches far in all directions as if she wanted to taste with her leaves to artisans.
The atmosphere around the character does not result from the letter of insertion, but from how you play it. If in the letter under this point, “he is silent and mysterious” and you are immediately happy to tell all about the character in the RP, it doesn’t fit together at all and the letter is wrong.
Experience has shown that the best RP characters are designed so that their past justifies their motives, but they do not restrict their development.
You should have goals that best promote character development. So not only “I want to/find/ do, etc” but “I want to/be, etc.”
Nothing is worse in this respect than a character that is completely unaffected by all events and characters and passes through his “Onetrick-Pony”.
Have fun playing.
Oha. Krasse description. I didn’t know the RP was so extensive!
Depends on the game manager and the adventure.
I finished with my group a vampire adventure (Curse of Strahd) and the shieldings there were really nice gloomy and right-wing madness-exciting 😊
Suitable for setting.
DnD sounds very interesting, no question, I’ve already informed myself about it several times, but that doesn’t help me at all in my question.
But that’s why I asked the question, I don’t understand what to say now.
At least with us (I don’t know what your experience is with such a thing) there is the official plug-in letter with all the information that needs to be clean and if you don’t have enough, you can compile yourself a much more detailed plug-in letter and that’s exactly what I want. More detailed plug letters
I’m sorry if this was wrong. The atmosphere has nothing to do with the plug-in letter, but should be used in general role play then
You’re right, that’s really wrong. But here too, what do you want to say?
Apparently, if you don’t get that, you should let the character act according to the letter, that’s a problem between the writer and the letter. But that’s not what I’m talking about.
I agree, but I don’t help.
I’ll be back. I’m trying to explain the whole thing a little better… Normally, I create a character rough, with space for developments. And then later in the course of the role game, for example if my character has already experienced a lot, then I write a plug-in letter update where I also have a retroactive effect on the development of the character.
Does it make more sense now?
If not, just hit me again x3
Was also not meant as a help to the question, but to give your hobby a proper basis.
And that also related to my answer: Simply specify more properties.
If, for example, only optical properties are required, then the character properties or the past of the character are included.
I understand what you mean, but I don’t see your problem yet. Somehow it seems to me that you don’t know enough qualities that your character might have to make him interesting.
Or do you lack building up your life to find these qualities?
And an update should be the simplest, after all you have played the change of character in the RP. I don’t really see the problem either.
Can you give me an example? Maybe I understand you better.
Wish you a good night.
I think you’ll get this exercise better if you’re really busy. That was so good, but it was very direct. I’m sure you’d better rewrite it and sign it.
Nice to help.
This time it was without distraction 15 minutes
As inconspicuous the mushroom itself was, so were also the dangers that came from it. With his endless silence, it was easy for him to listen to his naive and nothing-fearing victims in the shadow of the underwood.
Due to its striking red spots and its exceptional shape, the mushroom, even in the shaded underwood, was a well-known and appreciated companion of the forest. While he gave pleasure to the one or the other with his mere appearance, he provided permanent and joyful society to the trees and plants.
I meanwhile realize it’s getting slow. I’ll say goodbye to you for tonight and wish you a good night.
Thank you for the help x3
Depends on that. The coexistence is the most widespread form of time when it comes to novels.
The present can be used for plug letters when it comes to current properties.
I am 18
A question before I start. Are past forms rather unfavourable? I used to write it mainly in the past
Except for a few spelling and grammar errors, perfect.
In the second shielding, however, I would personally prefer the leaves. “With the beautiful wind game of her leaves, this now works…” Otherwise it seems as if a wind game had actually been hung on the tree.
And this is precisely the reflection of the formulations that matters. Roll and discard metaphors and humanizations in the head to find those that correspond to the desired moods and images.
You have to do it again and at some point, you do it automatically and by yourself. Then you can really see every scene that comes to mind.
How old are you when I can ask? So I can put your performance in a corresponding relationship.
If you want, try another exercise:
Signs a mushroom in the underwood. Once as a threatening danger and once as a funny landscape feature.
Alright, that was something. I have to reconsider my wording
As with a firm conviction, the old and fragile oak is constantly increasing, as if one day the fear of being outraged and overshadowed by its surrounding artisans.
With its beautiful wind play, the oak, which has now come into the years, acts as if, with the speeding of the wind in its branches and the quiet snoring of the old wood, it wants to vote a lullaby for the forest and all its inhabitants to gently weigh it into sleep
As a classification, if this helps: have taken about 30 minutes for it (unfortunate with distraction)
Then we start with something rather simple:
Describe a tree in a shield. It is an old, large oak (like the one from the example of me above).
Shield them once in a positive atmosphere and once in a negative without changing their actual properties. Use metaphors and personalizations to build the respective atmosphere.
The example from above would be a negative atmosphere. I quote it here again:
I also give an example with a positive atmosphere:
Like a loving mother, the venerable oak spreads her strong branches and her tender foliage over the meadow as if she wanted to protect all life under her from all dangers.
One, two sentences are completely enough for the exercise.
I like doing exercises:D
I’d be betrayed by such a collection. According to my experience, it is best to describe every new character again for the respective scenario.
But improving your writing style, I can help. This is a matter of practice and experience. I can give you exercises if you want. Experience comes through the exercise and through good reading.
It is important that you not only read the content, but the way it is described. As it is said, what is said and make (mental) notes about formulations you like.
I want to create a kind of collection for current characters, but also for future projects/characters. Problem with me is that in the meantime I have problems with this in detail to describe my characters (e.g. in plug letters) and its surroundings and species (e.g. during the rp ́s), because I lack the vocabulary (propriating or learning somehow doesn’t work, whether that’s because I have a concentration weakness or what else, I have absolutely no plan)
And therefore the idea for a collection of descriptions or the vocabulary.
For example, I often write a search for a rp in the voice chat and I’m just about to describe my characters, but I’ve noticed very much that it’s just the typical stuff like “nett”, “quiet”, “open” and so, and that they always repeat when I write my characters. Not because they are all the same, but because I don’t know what words I could describe them.
Or I write that my character is running, sitting, lying, whatever does, it would really like to describe with more adjectives. Then I’m sitting there thinking, “Yes, he’s running, but how’s he going?”
Just all those little details that would make writing better. And so on all the points I had mentioned above
Good morning,
do you think it’s like this?
Bsp: Tiger claw:
1.Stolz and strong, rises not only due to its size over other cats
2.Large, dark brown tempered cat, which has large paws and long front claws
3.Stark cat, which is not afraid and highly intelligent even before killing. He lacks judgment
4.The strongest, but also deceitful cat throughout the forest, no true friendships, manipulator, does everything for more power and influence, liar
5.Does it have to be only 2. Leaders, hate all the other cats who put themselves in his way, has never loved another cat (i.e. have not had any lasting relationships), may be unfavorable.
6. Fearing himself from the moonstone (that is, from the Starclan), which he cannot fully understand, the forest of darkness desires as rulers over the material world, as sole ruler over all others
Best regards
As I have just read your comment.
If you want to create your own, you can take this as a model and think out your own cats.
An idea would be to make a collection of possibilities for each of your points (1-6), which you then customize on the player character.
Yes, as in your example (usually applied to a letter template)
so I am here
