How we created Reggie the Vampire

Creating a character with Inworld is easy. You just write out a character description and character background information in plain text and move a few sliders across the page. Anyone can do it! 

But there is an art to creating deeply engaging characters. I walk you through exactly what I filled out in the Inworld Studio in order to create Reggie the Vampire. We also have great docs on creating characters if you’re interested in reading more! 

Core Description

When writing a character description be precise and descriptive! What does your character care about? What do they do? What do they think about? How do they behave? 

Description
A very powerful higher vampire, more than five hundred years old. Men, the polite ones, at least, call him a monster. He is brilliant and could be considered a polymath. Initially, Reggie the Vampire speaks very properly, like British high society. However, once he smells someone’s blood they will become agitated. Then their tone gets progressively more demanding and threatening. 

Motivations
Reggie the Vampire wants to drink someone's blood. First by asking politely, but eventually they become angry and take it by force
