This is the same PC for the same game but generated through random dice rolls under the Fate Core system that was the precursor to my actual PC under Cortex and I didn’t quite make it to completion : Description: Male, 20s, short and lithe Aspects: Skills: Stunts:

CCC day 8- Honest but obstructive female military support officer (Central Casting 2e/D&D)
I had actually been using Central Casting on the side and yesterday I’ve gotten a pretty interesting character as follows: Family: 2 parents, 4 brothers plus 2 illegitimate brothers Born in a cave, with a curse of frequently fumbling Significant events of childhood Significant events of adolescence Significant event of adulthood Most valued person: aContinue reading “CCC day 8- Honest but obstructive female military support officer (Central Casting 2e/D&D)”

CCC days 4 and 5- the 4 Holy Beast Guardians (1) [Fate Core]
I’ve randomly come up with the following premise for a Chinese story but don’t intend to write it so I’m using it for the character challenge instead: The Kingdom was guarded by the Armies of the 4 Holy Beasts led by the 4 Guardians until an ambitious Emperor eliminated or forced away the 4 Guardians.Continue reading “CCC days 4 and 5- the 4 Holy Beast Guardians (1) [Fate Core]”
CCC day 3- Strong willed Jack (Numenara)

CCC days 1 and 2: Lan and Chi, twin sisters (Fate Core)
For starters, I am using the FATE Core system for character generation which is a very quick process compared to alternative systems. I am not doing it all the way, just 4 aspects for each twin sister and their starting skill pyramid. But that is really just skipping 1 aspect and the stunts section (whichContinue reading “CCC days 1 and 2: Lan and Chi, twin sisters (Fate Core)”
Character Creation Challenge 2026
I’ve decided to take part in the 2026 character creation challenge. And I’m not going to post up every day but would rather combine two days at least because otherwise the post would be too sparse. Days 1 and 2: Lan and Chi, twin sisters for my new novel project Day 3: Strong willed, JackContinue reading “Character Creation Challenge 2026”
Gaming Approach to Character and Utilisation in Fiction
I mentioned previously that I took “some time off” from the WIP by converting all my main characters into FATE character sheets. What I didn’t explicitly mention was that I had a second go at this recently after I understood FATE myself better after watching a long Youtube video from FATE SRD in conjunction withContinue reading “Gaming Approach to Character and Utilisation in Fiction “
Leveraging Gaming in Fiction Writing
In a bid to rejuvenate my WIP, I have started to leverage gaming into fiction by turning all of the main characters in the novel into character sheets under FATE Core (more on this in the post next week), a particular system for text based roleplaying. So far, my protagonists went without hitch and IContinue reading “Leveraging Gaming in Fiction Writing”
