Only a few days (25) until my one year military service (completely voluntary in Finland) is over.
Anyways: let’s talk about The Dreams. I would love to list some quotes from the characters I have generated this far, but that would be a killjoy-choice, wouldn’t it? Nope. I wouldn’t think so, but I would feel very sorry in case I wouldn’t include a character mentioned after all.
Then there would be some nice Finnish military system trivia I would like to share – just in case some fool would like to join this nice tradition most eighteen year old boys live through every year. I won’t, because I truly wish not use my spare time for the Company…
Anyways… I have just gone through my current state of mind and would like to continue with the subject of character creation techniques. I personally use a trick called ‘doubling’.
As I ‘double’, I first start with a simple concept or the main point of the character and then ‘double’ the ideas and thus redouble until I have enough material to satisfy… my intuition. I hope that condences, how I build characters up and hopefully will help someone else. Any other ideas, how one should build a character?
Does the doubling apply to history, personality, contacts etc.? Larp, tabletop, players characters, NPCs, everything?
On another note, how about sharing your roleplaying history? A number of Finnish roleplayers have already done it: http://legendmakers.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/keha-laajenee-henkilokohtainen-roolipelihistoriani/

Yes. At least on a theoretical level – cannot think of anything practical where it wouldn’t apply.
Nope – nothing interesting on that matter, yet. At least I have no desire to do any sharing-thingies (not with a “morning countdown” like this anyways…)
