Subplot

Where was your character just before and at the start of the roleplay? Firstly, a physical location is important. So for a town RP, is your character a resident, a tourist or a new citizen who moved in just before the start of the RP. If we use the zombie outbreak example again, was your character at home, were they on vacation and got stranded, are they able to contact their family, etc. Next is where their head is at. Did any events happen just prior to the start of the story, any deaths or life changing events? Who is the most important person in their life prior to the RP starting, will it change during the story?

What is the storyline unique to the character? The plot/setting on the main RP is a group plot, each character needs their own subplot. Their own goals, their own motivational reasons and a conflict which stops them reaching that goal (can be tied to the main plot). Is their conflict internal or external, does your character even know how to reach their goal, if so, what is their next step?

Write The Bio

So now that you have a clear idea of the character, it's time to write the actual bio. There are a number of formats out there and just use the information above to fill in the blanks. You do not have to include EVERYTHING you wrote down.
