BACKSTORY

Merit has spent his life living in a place where he doesn't feel right, he doesn't feel connected to it. He doesn't feel connected to the people he encounters, either. While he believes he is quite different, and he is, he doesn't identify with the similarities. His time on Earth is acutely transitive to him. An expectation for the next thing to come along is in the back of his mind as he tries to tend attentively to his every day activities here. That something that is missing, which most people feel, is a thing that is found for him. His parents raised him to be an independent man unattached to the typical societal modes of operation. No one accuses him of seeing himself upon a high pedestal because it is obvious that he believes himself quite human and thus subject to faults. His path is often a subject of his speech as well as how other people's paths are unique to them. He aims to find a new chapter to pour himself into. His purpose, he knows, is to help others. When he has done enough of this, he will move into the next energy level and help others in a different capacity.

I'm aware this specific template came from Michael, but the concept of a many facts and RP about your character in a list like this must've come from the man/women whose page I posted earlier. It's almost identical.

These sort of character fact sheets have been around for ages, putting a title underlining it and then going to the next line and putting subtopics is not new, it's a pretty common formatting option. I think you would have to go a quite a ways back to find the original idea maker behind this text format option and give credit to them. I took subtopics (There are quite a few differences in the one you mentioned) I felt I want people to know about my character and took a common character sheet format and personalised it with my companies colours. There's no need to get into a big credit war, I was just letting him know the format he had copied and pasted was my one, my goal was only to make sure Cstove didn't feel like he'd been credit for something that he'd also copied and pasted and then felt bad about it. I didn't want credit for it, he was just nice enough to give it.
