When creating a character, there’s a lot of questions you ask yourself. Whether it’s an original character or one you’ve been playing for a long time, using a character sheet to get to know your character better can always be a nice idea. With it’s help, you’ll be able to think about things you didn’t necesarily thought about, and ask some important questions to yourself that might activate your character’s voice, or help you to get your muse back with them. Everyone has their favorite character sheets, some people prefer to have a lot of questions, some others like it a bit more vague, so here’s a masterlist of the character sheets I found on various websites and found quite interesting, plus some other things that could be used to help you see, for example, how other character view yours.

With these sheets, you could also try to find your character’s Jung and Enneagram Type or use the Moral Alignment tool. All of these things can be really useful to get a better grip on a character.
Then, if you’re trying to create a character, and do not have many ideas, or get stuck, I’d suggest for you to roam around TVTropes, which gives you a lot of tropes used for character creation. Maybe you could try to mix a few of these and create an original character?
Or, if you’re a skillful writer and know how to make your character different from another, make a list of characters in fiction you happen to find interesting and why. Try to keep it short. Then, maybe, try to mix and match things from two or three characters, take a character and change their backstory, to see what would change. Play with them to inspire yourself and create something new, original and truly yours.
Oh, and here’s a little guide to Mary-Sues and OCs, just in case you want to make sure your character isn’t going to become a Mary-Sue or a Gary-Stu
And last but not least, this article about building fictional character definitely seemed interesting to me, and is full of many other links that could guide you during the creating of your character and help you file one of these sheets.
THERE HAS BEEN AN UPDATE TO THE GAME, if you already downloaded this before, you will need to download the new version (1.01) because there was a major glitch in 1.00 that made it unplayable. DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.01 HERE!

EPILEPSY WARNING: This game contains a lot of flashing/rapidly changing images.
JUMPSCARE WARNING: This game contains a few light-hearted jumpscares.
Ana, a junior in college, looks to rent a room in a rundown apartment complex she found in the newspaper in hopes to save money while attending school. Quickly, she finds that while the complex seems empty, there is much more to it than meets the eye.
Parallels is a fantasy/adventure game with a twist of horror inspired by games like Earthbound and OFF. All of the visual resources were drawn custom specifically for the project by me, Amber Avara. Currently, only the demo is available as a way to test the waters/to act as a proof of concept.
The current demo version (1.01) is the one of the first formal releases and has a lot of small bugs, primarily graphical oversights (things overlapping incorrectly, stray pixels, etc.) as well as some issues with events being remembered after reloading a saved game. When playing this version, please SAVE OFTEN and make multiple save states. If you run into any gamebreaking bugs, please let me know here or at my main Tumblr.
Please tag any questions, liveblogging, whatever to the tag “parallelsrpg”—I would love to see it!
