Character Development 4: Their Roots

[Prof. Sky Alton]

Just as your character has a past, they probably also have a family (even if their family isn’t present in the story). Even for stories where the hero’s ancestry isn’t particularly important, it can still be fun to trace their roots back (or forward) and find questions you might want to answer. Where were their family from? Did they have to move at some stage? Were there any historical fallings out?

For this, we’d like you to draw your hero’s family tree, encompassing at least 3 generations. You can use a program that formats it for you or draw it free-hand. In addition, it would also be nice if you could annotate it with additional information about where a certain person lived and whether there was anything particularly remarkable about them. If your character doesn’t actually know who their family are, perhaps you could draw up their dream family tree or even one containing the names of the people they consider to be family.
