The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Vin is tattooed up like most sailors, but unlike most sailors, he doesn’t really curse all that much. He is certainly loud and takes in a lot of drinks, but no, not much of a curser. This is mostly due to his reformation in working with a cruiseliner, which didn’t give him as much verbal freedom. He can be witty but typically doesn’t try to be, and has become much calmer and warmer towards people. He’s a loyal guy. If you have his back, he’ll have yours, simple as that. He would also describe himself as simple and plain, not into elegance or opulence. His mannerisms are rough and he doesn’t fit in with the typical posh crowd you might see in the UK’s wizard society.

Vin is a great indulger in alcohol and has a high tolerance for it. He also has a bad relationship with his grandparents, both due to his excessive drinking and his similarities to his father. He’s also really into smoking and tries different experimental wizarding snuff. His lack of patriotism is what eventually stopped him from joining the navy, but his sense of adventure and love of water led him towards a world traveling journey. He knows three languages, but only because he’s smart enough to pick them up casually. Generally, he has a good brain for languages. He also loves his siblings very much and sends them gifts whenever he’s out working. He wants to buy a either a boat or a ship and sail the world eventually.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here!
