This article is written as an introduction to a methodology that is useful for creating more vivid and thorough characters for larps. It is about the creation of the personality and the physical representation of the character as the first part of a three-part article series about character creation and larp preparation for the player. The second part is about the character's relationships, goals, morals and background, while the third part is about the social position of the character and the interaction with the surrounding culture. These two parts will be published on my homepage.
