	* [~~https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/mediawiki-announce.lists.wikimedia.org/ MediaWiki release mailing list~~]		<p>There is no truly correct way to go about building a character; it is an organic process that each person approaches a little differently, and your approach depends a lot by what gave you the initial seed for the idea. Some people start with a profession or skill set and work the backstory to fit it, some start with a personality and tailor skills to fit. Some start simply with a race or a culture that they think would be interesting to play, and figure out the rest as they go. The key questions you should ask yourself when making a character are these:</p>

	* [~~https://www~~.~~mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Combating_spam Learn how to combat spam on your wiki]~~		*What is my race?
			*What is my culture or country of origin?
			*What is my profession?
			*What broad skill set would I like to play?
			*These questions are the seeds that will help guide you in your research, and they can be approached in any order that makes sense to you. To help fill in the finer details and personality traits we also have a [[Character Questionnaire]].
