There’s room to map goals and motivations, track romances, friendships and tensions, and sketch out timelines, life events and turning points. Main characters get extended space so you can go deep, while supporting characters get a clean, concise overview that keeps your cast consistent. Whether they’re the protagonist, love interest or antagonist, you can pin down their purpose in the story and the impact they have on the plot. The planner fits whatever you’re creating, whether it’s a novel, short story, screenplay, comic or game.Inside there is a full set of structured character profile templates, split into two levels of detail so you can plan a cast that actually matches the size of your project.
