User blog comment:Njalm2/Nanja's Classroom: Designing RP Characters/@comment-2089817-20161210041136

An excellent read as always, Nanja. Quite informative. Short, but concise. It'll help in me rewriting one of my own articles that deal with character creation, which is long overdue but well...

One thing I want to add to your Consistency section, or more specifically, something about consistency I want to suggest to those who read this blog: when making plans for your characters, it may help to use a concept map. Those who have taken science classes, especially Biology classes, know that concept maps are used quite commonly when organizing thoughts and making connections between broad topics and specific points of information. Alternatively, concept maps can be used to create a plan for a character's powers and abilities section. I suggest for everybody to look into them if you don't know how to make one, especially those who find it very hard to settle on a single idea because it feels restrictive.
