This workshop will focus on how to build believable characters, how to document their progress and how to avoid pitfalls of letting your characters do their own thing.

This workshop is designed to equip attendees with the skills and insights that will enable them to build plausible, fully-rounded and interesting fictional characters. During the session we will look at psychological traits, physicality, habits, opinions and how to ensure continuity. In addition, what not to put in or conceal is also discussed.
