I use two different writing styles.
One is for the creation of my rpg characters. Don't be afraid to write down the type of characters you want. In my case, I write down their info in this order:
1) Name
2)Age
3)Gender
4)Species/Race
5)Height
6)Weight
7) Hair/Eye color

Background information
9) Physical description.
And here is an example of one of my characters so you can see how it is done.
Sephrenia Darklighter's teacher profile
Age: 400 (but looks like she is still in her twenties).
Race: Styric
Height: 4?10 inches
Weight: 250 pounds
Eyes: Green
Hair: Black
Appearance: She wears a white robe much like a monk and is very neat
and simple. Has the appearance of an aura over her head. This is a result
of being faithful by worshipping her gods in quiet places when not working.
Background info: She prefers to be called Sephrenia and is from a land
in the Far East area of Africa. Due to the brutal persecution of her
race, most of her family has been killed, and she only has been able
to enjoy the company of her race's vast multitude of gods while seeking
a place to live and work throughout her long life.Sephrenia heard about
FrostBite School from a hierarch at the Basilica in Demos while she was
passing through on her way. Her main purpose in life is a continual search
for the knowledge that will stop the persecution of her race. The only
oddity her race has is a complete lack of reading skills. This is because
their gods have forbidden the practice entirely in hope of keeping them
pure from the corruption of words through reading.
The second is for the stories I write here. For the nontrue stories, I simply type straight from my imagination. No matter how long or short, chapters or one whole story instead, I write to please my readers and myself too. As has been seen, one never knows how any of my stories will turn out until they are completed. My current collaboration with Jason and another member I won't name yet goes along the premise that each new chapter posted is scarier then the previous one. A great writer never reveals their secrets and so you will only be told that certain books and movies inspire my imagination to help me to dream up what I write because I write it as I have seen it in my dreams.
