Ramp up your role-playing game (RPG) and make your character your own with this fun, interactive workbook—an essential addition to any player’s gaming kit. You’ve chosen your class, bought your weapons, and rolled for your stats, and you’re now the proud owner of your own RPG (role-playing game) avatar. But before you begin your adventure, there’s so much more you can do with your character to make him or her your own! Just how evil is she? What does his dating profile look like? Where did she get that scar? What does he want for his birthday? With fill-in-the blank narratives, prompts, and fun activities to help you customize your character at the start of the game, or build out your backstory as you play, The Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Book will help you fully imagine your character and bring them to life for the ultimate gaming experience!

I borrowed this from the library and enjoyed it so much, I’ve bought myself a copy so I can write in it!
Full of lots of fun ideas and a very comprehensive list of character qualities. I appreciate how in-depth the chapters are, really digging into how to make your PC and their motivations feel as fleshed out as possible!

I like that it is split into level range as well! So you can pick and choose how intense you want to get with the backstory.
I used this for general character creation, but I’m definitely going to use this for my next RPG!
