Many people like to have a description telling of the epic tales and adventures their characters have gone through and to tell a story of how they gained their powers. However, a large amount of these people just can't write it. They don't have creative enough ideas. Let's face it: we've all seen descriptions that just plain suck. The purpose of this guide is to spark your imagination and begin the path of writing your interesting and epic description!
Now, many people know me as an immature little kid obsesses with leaks (Liberty joke). Although that is true, I also have a more serious and mature side, leading me to being a writer. So yes, this is really a guide to writing.
So where do you start? First you want to think of what your character's personality is. Is he an evil emperor? A kind hearted fellow? Even if he's a sea monster who lost his way, you always have to start by establishing a personality.
Next, you have to take this personality to either select or make up a place of origin. For example, if your character is an evil king, maybe he's from the forbidden world of Kin-Za-Ra. This will be the beginning of your description: his, her, or it's personality and location of origin.
Next you get into the real interesting part: how your character got it's powers andn what they were doing when it happened. This is basically the entire body of your decription. In my example of an evil emperor from a forbidden world, he was at a conference one day discussing the building of a torture chamber in the dark woods (make sure you get plenty of detail to make it interesting!) when he heard a thud that seemed to be emitting (use big words to make you sound smart!) from the basement. His body guards proceeded to search the basement, and found a long, thin bone. The emperor proceeded to pick up the bone, and felt a strange feeling (try to add in a mysterious vibe). He then, for an unexplained reason, began to attack all of the evil men around him. He proceeded to run outside and search for the few nice people left in his forbidden world. Once he found them, he swore to them that he would fight for good.
Next, you want to describe how your character got to Paragon City. In my example, the evil emperor was lead to Paragon City by the unnamed nice people, who were quite glad to have someone fighting for the good of the people, especially such a strong man.
End your description with what your character does in the city and what people think about him. In my example, everyone is happy that there is such a good warrior fighting for them. They are not sure what the bone did to influence him, but they don't question it, as long as he fights for the good of the people and keeps them safe.
Well, that's about it. I hope I have sparked some ideas to help you write your description. Remember to always use proper grammar to make it understandable. If you don't, it won't be nearly as entertaining.
What if you want more of a statement than a story? I went for this approach with my Illusion/Radiation Controller. To create a feeling, it is better to follow along with your character's powers. How do the 2 sets work together? What kind of feeling does your fighting give? As an example, here is basically what my Ill/Rad controller has:
*COMING SOON*
I hope this helps you! Feel free to ask any questions.
