Princess 01 Character Skeleton

Character Overview
"princess"

Name of Character
Chad

Character Traits
weak-willed, excitable, unlucky, afraid of confllict

Age & Gender
19, male 

Physical Description
Chad has never really been the athletic type. He has, ever since he can remember, been thin-- lanky, really. Too bad for him, the lankiness was never really compensated for with height, either. Chad is simply average height and very thin. His auburn hair is a few inches long, but rather than laying against his head, is generally spiked up in a strange, almost poofy, manner. His eyes, a dull grey-blue, are often wide, giving Chad deer-in-the-headlights look. He has fair skin with a couple of scars on his hands.

Clothing & Adornments
A bit more on the "dorky" end of the spectrum, Chad tends to wear clothing that is comfortable. Tee shirts, jeans, and sneakers are his go-to outfits. Occasionally, he will layer a long-sleeve tee-shirt underneath a short-sleeve tee-shirt, giving himself a slightly different look. More often than not, his socks don't actually match. Chad wears a pair of glasses with a thick, black, rectangular frame.

Physicalities
Chad tends to slouch almost all the time. The fact that it's not healthy doesn't seem to bother him at all. His gait is slow and shuffling as he rarely picks his feet up off the ground when he walks. 

Backstory
Born into a noble family, Chad has never really had to do anything for himself. He has always had someone there to do everything for him. He has never known hunger or strife. Everything has always been handed to him. At the age of eighteen, things changed. A war in the kingdom has pulled the nobility from their seats of comfort, Chad included. Chad was the only one in his entire family to have been captured by the militia, the rebels. For the past year, Chad has lived among them as their servant, doing menial and degrading tasks. Now he is waiting for someone strong and brave to save him.

Emotional Arc
At the beginning of the game, when the player first meets Chad, he is a nervous wreck. He is miserable and afraid to stand up for himself. After the player saves him from his certain demise, he is grateful, excited to be free after a year of servitude. While he is no longer miserable, he is still too afraid to stand up for himself.

Gameplay Element
The player goes on a quest to find Chad.

Type of Game
RPG adventure, similar to Dragon Age series

Environment
The world Chad lives in is a modern fantasy setting. There are all the elements of medieval fantasy within the modern world. The militia has rebelled against the nobility in an attempt to create some sort of equality between the classes.

Job/Work
When the player finds Chad, he is working as a servant to the Militia.

Speech Patterns/Dialect/Accent
Chad tends to speak with a nervous stutter when there is the possibility of a conflict. However, when he is relaxed, he tend to speak with a more relaxed tone to his voice. He uses a more formal language no most occasions.

Sample Dialogue
CHAD: Oh, th-thank the good Lord in Heaven! Are you here to re-rescue me?
PLAYER: Um. Yea? Are you Chad?
CHAD: Yes! Yes! Oh, I cannot b-begin to express how glad I am to see you, Ser!
PLAYER: Yea, cool. Um. Let's go before more of them show up.
CHAD: Oh! Of course, Ser! Anything you say!
