In a genre with so much imaginative potential, creating well-rounded and unique characters that speak to the personality and individuality of the creator can be tricky. This guide is an excellent resource, perfect for anyone interested in elevating their fantasy content on social media, preparing for a LARP event, or even writing characters for novels or screenplays.
With the tool in The Ultimate Fantasy Character Creator, fantasy content creators will be able to generate compelling and fully realized backstories, engage in colorful dialogue with other characters, and connect their fantasy characters to the real world in new and interesting ways.
The Ultimate Fantasy Character Creator by Jeff Stormer was published on January 14, 2025. Adams Media provided a galley for review.
As a gamer and a writer, I've come across several books like this one. And they tend to be similar in structure: several broad categories followed by questions in each area to be filled out from the character's perspective. Stormer, however, has done a bit more than others to make his guide stand out.
Although the title specifically includes "fantasy", the various exercises in this book are not all specifically tied that genre alone. In fact, I found that so many of these can apply to character creation of any kind very easily enough. The whole point of this book is to spark the creative engines, to get one to think about a variety of things when bringing to life an entity from practically nothing at all.
I can see myself revisiting this one as I work on my own creations in the future.
