I’ve met some amazing people online and I know a lot of people who say that internet friendship doesn’t count. I mean my internet friends have been there for me when nobody else was and I love them so much. Just wanna see how many people agree with me that they do count.

Eternal sugar update am I right
I tried to scroll past this. I really did
So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.) Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.
If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results:
What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory)
What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.)
Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.)
What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)
Annnnd I also opened up my ask box. I forgot to open that, ahaha. Thank you to the person who brought this to my attention! :)
Hello, SSOblr! How are y'all feeling? :)))
I've been a player since 2016, or 2017? Eh, I've been playing for a while! My favorite Soul Rider is Linda Chanda (though I love them all). My favorite Dark Rider is probably Sabine, or Katja? The others are very cool but I like them a little more (whoops)! Having a favorite NPC is hard but if I were to choose, it would probably be Madison! (Rania is a runner-up.)
I play on Pumpkin Meadow and my user is Mandy Pixieheart.
So far, I find everyone in this community to be very creative and their ideas and OC's are just wonderful!
I wish you all a happy December! XO <3
(BTW, my account is mostly going to not have a lot of content. I'm in multiple fandoms lol.)
