Character creation : ウィキペディア英語版 | Character creation
Character creation (also character generation or character design) is the process of defining a game character or other character. Typically, a character's individual strengths and weaknesses are represented by a set of statistics. Games with a largely fictional setting may include traits such as race and class. Games with a more contemporary or narrower setting may limit customization to physical and personality traits. ==Role-playing games== Character creation is typically the first step taken by the players (as opposed to the gamemaster) in preparation for a game. The result of character creation is a ''direct characterization'' that is recorded on a character sheet. In its most comprehensive form it includes not only a game-specific representation of the character's physical, mental, psychological and social properties in terms of statistics, but also often less formal descriptions of the character’s physical appearance, personality, personal back-story (“background”) and possessions. During play, only a character’s appearance is usually described explicitly while other traits are ''characterized indirectly'', with the exact statistics known to the character’s player and the game master, but not necessarily to other players. Character advancement refers to the improvement of a character’s statistics later in the game. The player will modify existing stats and add new ones, usually by spending experience points or when gaining a new experience level. Character advancement typically uses similar rules as character creation. To avoid unrealistic sudden changes in character concept, though, character advancement is usually more restricted than the initial character creation. For example, attributes are almost always harder (if not impossible) to change during character advancement. The term character development is, in some contexts, used interchangeably with ''character advancement'' (in a sense similar to ''professional development'' or ''Human Development''), whereas elsewhere ''character development'' refers instead to the player’s indirect characterization of the character through role-playing (in a sense similar to ''film developing'').
