From the ground up is a series of blog posts aimed at helping you create a roleplay character from the ground up. Additionally, these guides are mostly geared towards creating characters for roleplay within the World of Warcraft. But the basic principals, generally speaking, could likely be used for character creation for a variety of different games; both online and on table-top.

If you have read these guides and enjoyed them please let us know by leaving a comment. Additionally if you spot something we have missed? Think we could help you more by adding more about a certain topic or a topic we might have missed entirely? Please let us know. Otherwise, if you have your character built up or already made you might also enjoy reading our series Beyond the Basics. Beyond Basics covers other aspects of roleplay beyond basic character creation. Venerable Villains is where we look at what makes a good bad guy in the world of MMO’s. We also have a series running that delves into exploring the different zones and worlds in World of Warcraft for their lore and roleplay potential.
I hope you find this series useful, again if you do please get in touch and tell me about the character you made, I’d love to hear from you.
