Do you want to try out being in a different world, playing someone other than yourself? Perhaps a sword wielding medieval knight or an evil mage, a race from another planet or a fugitive in a dystopia? Then joining a LARP is for you. The first thing to do is create your character.
A LARP, or Live Action Role Play, is a collective fantasy game. Thousands of players worldwide are joining role playing games, bringing their characters into imaginary worlds and unique storylines. One LARP might be fantasy, another post-apocalyptic, worlds with a rich cast of characters. Each player creates a character who interacts with other characters at role playing events. But how to get started?
Creating LARP Characters explains how to think up and design your LARP character. This approach can be applied to any LARP world. It walks you through a simple step by step, yet flexible approach. It does more than guide you through choosing a race, class and name. It also tells you how to create a character with a rich backstory, with physical characteristics and flaws. Above all, Creating LARP Characters will guide you to develop a character you’ll have fun with.
