INTRODUCTION - CONCLUSION

And finally, your A.I. will suggest you address the following questions to help fill in some blanks in your character's backstory (but not too much!)

The questions are:

1. Who would portray your character in a film?
2. What is your character's attitude to the space travel?
3. What is your character's greatest passion?
4. What is your character's greatest fear?
5. What was your character's occupation before they became a _____?
6. Where was your character's favourite place to hang out on the ship? 

Question one: I've been obsessed with using "actors" to portray player-characters (and NPCs, monsters etc) since I discovered numerous Buffy The Vampire Slayer campaign sites back in the day. I'd never come across this idea before, but it struck me as so obvious and brilliant that it has stuck with me ever since.

Questions two to four: These will, hopefully, give me some character-based material to work with to seed future plot lines. Greatest Passion could - but doesn't have to - tie in to the character's Goal.

Question five: This should bridge the gap between role-playing background material (possible contacts, career knowledge etc) and world-building.

Question six: As with question five, but with even more emphasis on world-building.
