Blue Lake Academy discussion

Having difficulty with a character? Never fear, Catherine and your fellow group members are here! Ask questions about anything and everything to do with characters below, and enjoy these tips:

Full name: It's fun for me to choose names that match the personalities of my characters with the aid of Google. When I need help with a last name, I use this website: http://www.namegenerator.biz/last-nam...

Age: Your character can be between the ages of 11 and 19. You turn 12 in sixth grade, turn 13 in seventh grade, turn 14 in eighth grade, etc.

Gender: A character favoring talk to action is more likely to be female, and vice versa for male.

Job: Characters can volunteer around campus, and if they're sixteen they can take a job off campus. Check out this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Role: Student, teacher, janitor, cook, assistant, or any other role as long as I approve it.

Interest: Interests at the academy aren't necessarily what your character will go on to do in life or study in college. BLA gives the chance to explore what they want to do, in different categories. The interests you can choose from are listed here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Extra-curricular activities: A range of activities is offered. Choose up to four here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Appearance/Face claim: Before choosing a face claim, please check no one else has a character using it. You can also post a color image for your character's appearance, or simply describe it.

Other markings or accessories: Piercings? A watch? A charm bracelet? A bff necklace? Here is where you put the details of your character's outfit and appearance.

Personality: List three or more aspects of your character's personality here. To help you get started:
Do they work hard in school?
Are they generally happy/positive?
Are they generally polite?
Are they shy or outgoing?
Are they more talk or act?

History: Give some information on your character's past, and possibly current situation. I'll get you started:
How did they get into the academy?
Why is they studying what they are?
What was/is their family life like?
Did their parent(s) approve of them joining the academy?

Likes/Dislikes: Here are some questions to help you out:
What type of people do they like/dislike?
What type of food do they like/dislike?
What kind of music do they like/dislike?
Do they prefer books, TV, or movies?
Do they like sports?
Do they prefer hot or cold weather?

Relationship status: Are they dating/married? Collaborate on relationships in this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Family at the academy: Do their parents teach there or their siblings attend?

Friends at the academy: Here's a place to list your character's friends if you want to keep track.

Horse: If your character rides, do they own a horse or ride a school horse? What's the horse like?

Other: Are there any other things you'd like to add?

Could anyone help me out here? I'm having trouble with who I should make as my next character. XD Any ideas?

I use the Character Tracker for inspiration sometimes by looking at the interests/ages with the least characters. Also, sometimes I use images for inspiration when I find one I particularly like.
