So I made up a character questionnaire, and thought it might be good if I put it here both to help others, and so that we can all add questions to it, and hopefully make an ultimate one by putting our minds together. I'll keep it updated whenever someone suggests a new question, and I'll attach a preformatted word doc version.
I've tried to categorise the questions to make it easier. They're designed to be answered in 1st person from the character's point of view rather than the author's point of view.
