@phantomflame

The singular field I've added for my character templates is not nearly as long and descriptive as the ones @Seeba has lol, but I find that songs help me a lot with character building so I have a Character Playlist field that follows this outline:

  • The character's theme song
  • How the character views themself
  • How the character views the rest of the world
  • A song about the character's relationship with another character (can be a platonic or romantic relationship)
  • A song about what the character wants
  • A song about what's important to the character
  • A song about what the character hates
  • The character's Ass-Kicking Songβ„’
  • A song about an event in the character's life
  • The character's "Origins" song
  • The character's End Credits song

It's not a lot, but this field has helped me a lot with figuring out the personalities/mindsets of my characters and maybe it'll help someone else :)
