Step Two: Select Attributes

What are their core competencies?

A character’s Attribute Traits represent their core competencies and help define what they’re good at both naturally and on what they’ve focused their passions on. Use these to start and get a feel for what your character is good at. If they’re a physical fitness coach they’ll likely be good at Physical activities. If they’re an academic scholar they would likely be focused on their Mental faculties. An occult-oriented modern witch might have focused on using their Social skills to build a coven rather than be focused on purely academic pursuits and knowledge.

The important thing to remember is that while a character doesn’t need to fit a stereotype. You could have a charismatic physical fitness coach, or a scholar who’s not afraid to get their hands dirty for scraps of knowledge. Regardless, there should at least be reasons in their history, background, and experiences that has molded them to into who they are today.
