+ | =====Creating a Persona===== | ||
+ | Creating a Persona is a process quite separate from more focused areas of interest. Someone who is particularly interested in medieval cookery, or dance, or heavy combat, will be very likely to have a broad, cross-cultural and -chronological interest in that particular activity. In terms of more general knowledge, however, there is no way that one individual, barring unlimited free time, can achieve expertise in //every// time and culture in Europe in that period. Developing a persona therefore sets you a manageable goal, sacrificing breadth for detail in a smaller sphere. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typically persona creation begins with selecting a time period or culture that interests you. From there, doing some research on the time period can help you flesh out your persona. Look at the activities, the names, the historical figures, the events, etc. that took place during your time period. This will give you a sense of happenings in the world during the lifetime of your persona (and it may spark a new area of interest as well). | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you so choose, you can begin to add particulars to the persona story. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Your persona’s life story can also be more complex and include a variety of factors such as: area/time of birth; languages spoken; occupation & craft skills; behavior/ | ||
