User blog comment:Decathartique/dC's Character Creation Guide/@comment-26362067-20160403192541

This is really helpful to me. I have a lot of characters that need freshening up, and that character concept thing really helps, cause when I first started, I was taking ideas from what I'd created before. Which is actually what I usually do, cause I like making different versions of characters. It's a lot of fun, to me, to see how I can get them to fit into another universe - and a whole lot easier, as well. It was a place to start for me, a place to step onto the road of creating definied, thought-out characters.

Anyway, before I start rambling too much, the point I'm trying to make is that guides like these really help me to flesh out my characters. I've never really thought of having a reason to create a character outside of "I just want to" (I'm a spontaneus person, for the most part). And this has given me a reason to think on that. So thank you. :)
