One of the hardest things, especially for new players (and often in PFS Organized Play) is being able to create and roleplay characters that are distinctive and have an interesting appearance, personality and approach.
Creating unique characters is a great way to create better roleplaying experiences and help characters stick in player's and GM's minds, and helps us to avoid the 'I'm just a barbarian with a big axe' generic approach!
Coming up with a unique character concept can be overwhelming though. That's why I made this easy to use one page sheet that will allow a player to quickly capture the key aspects of their character's appearance, upbringing, approach and attitude and will help create distinctive, unique, vibrant, one of a kind characters.
I have deliberately kept the sheet and details captured 'light weight' as this is mainly intended for organized play, although you are of course free to adapt and amend it to the needs of your players and groups.
Its a nice little sheet. I wouldn't personally use it, but there are many players who won't even write a paragraph about their character when asked for a half page, and I can see this being helpful to some of them.
A nifty little document, though somewhat bare. I generally use the 10 minute background, which expands a little more on the points you make.

That's a great resource, I may well add a second optional page that incorporates some of those elements.
