Character Interview Template

Here we have the character interview template we wrote in our recent blog post ‘C is for Character Interviewing‘.

By all means, feel free to use it to interview your own characters (and tweak it a little if you wish), we just ask that you kindly link back to us – mainly so we can read what answers others’ characters come out with 🙂

Interviewer: Ok, shall we start with the standard introduction question? So, who are you, what do you do and anything else you would like to add?

~

Interviewer: A bit of a predictable one now, what four adjectives best sum you up?

~

I: Ok, well, what about each other? How would you describe each other?

~

I: Going a little bit deeper what are you most afraid of?

~

I: And what would you say is your deepest secret?

~

I: Going down a different route, what is more important – sex or intimacy? Why?

~

I: Lets move on to the past, shall we? Where did you grow up?

~

I: Staying with the past. what were your family like? Did you get along with them? Do you see them much now?

~

I: Was there a major turning point in your life?

~

I:What in your past would you like to forget?

~

I: And what in your past would you like others to forget?

~

I: Is there anything else about your past you’d like to discuss?

~

I: So, lets focus on life at the moment. What would you say you are most proud of about your life?

~

I:Following on from that, what’s the most important thing in your life? What do you value most?

~

I: How do you feel about your life right now? What, if anything, would you like to change?

~

I: Obvious answer coming here I feel, but are you currently in a relationship? If so how did you meet your partner?

~

I: Swiftly moving on to future plans. Is there anything you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t gotten around to it yet? If so, what and what would happen if you did it?

~

I: OK, I think we should move on, where do you see yourself in the next five years?
