Training History and Biography Sections

​

So the question of how to fill out the 2-4 paragraphs of information in the Training History and Biography sections must be rolling through your minds... yes?


Well, honestly, it's not difficult at all to fulfill those requirements so long as you know what questions to ask yourself about your character.


The following questions are not meant to be answered with only one sentence each. If you really stop to read and think about the questions, multiple details pertaining to each one will pop into your head. You should be capable of answering each question with at least two to three sentences each.


So here we go:

• When were they first taught these early lessons?
  
• From whom did they learn these early lessons?
  
• Where did they learn these early lessons?
  
• As they continued this early level training, how did they maintain their consistency?
  
• (Part of the previous question) Obviously they would have had school/work to worry about, so when did they fit their training in through all of this?
  
• How did they know whether or not what they were doing was working in these early years?

Paragraph 4

• As an adult (age 18+), what about your character's life has changed?
  
• Do they still have meaningful connections (Friends, family, comrades, colleagues, etc? And they better have at least a few because I will accept no introverts who avoid contact with others and isolate themselves from the world in this RP)
  
• What has happened to their living situation now?
  
• Do they have their own place, or are they part of the UNSC and now a nomad going wherever the UNSC takes them?

• If they are military, what is their position, rank, and how did they reach these positions and ranks?

That's about it everyone!


Cheers!

@Jordus Thaeriticus, posting should be as long as it takes to make a point. Whether that's in one simple and straightforward paragraph, or ten, is up to you to decide.


So long as the post makes a point and establishes forward momentum for your character, it will be acceptable.


Also, please only post in this thread from now on. The others are (and will be) for display and information purposes only.


Thank you.
