Begin with something that inspires you.
Immerse yourself in The Goblin Ball's magical world and embody your dreams' character. Drawn to the grace and elegance of elves or the mighty roar of dragons call to you? The possibilities are endless; it's all up to you.
Considering the character you want to bring to life, think about what truly excites and inspires you. Whether it's the thrill of battle or the power of magic, there's a place for everyone at The Goblin Ball.
Remember, diversity is key to making the evening fun for everyone. After all, a night with fifty Royals and only two adversaries to quarrel against wouldn't be much fun.
If your character no longer suits your interests, or you want to try something new during the evening, this is welcome. As you enter the Goblin Ball, you may do so as a powerful witch, but as the night progresses, you may feel more like an investigator. Multiple dimensions will help you switch between your end goals. Always embrace your ever-evolving interests to let your inner magic shine.
Build out the details
There are a few key steps to crafting the perfect Goblin Ball character; the first is to sketch out or find inspiration for your character's appearance. Imagine there are no limits - what shape and size would your character be?
Give your character a backstory. It's as simple as a one-paragraph biography or as elaborate as a few pages of history. The only limit is your creativity. What events in your character's past have shaped who they are today? Why do they love or hate certain things? What are their goals in life?
As you develop your character, think about how you interact with others. Do you have a unique accent or speak in a certain way?
Finally, consider what your character likes to do when they're not fighting, casting spells, or going on adventures. What would they do when not adventuring to The Goblin Ball? What would they do if they are bored or spending time alone?
You have all the time you need to craft the perfect character. The more thought you put into it at the beginning, the more immersed in The Goblin Ball you can become!
Be Ready to Change
Embrace the magic of transformation as you bring your Goblin Ball character to life. Remember, you're not the same person you were yesterday. You learn new skills and information daily to develop new opinions that shape your personality. Your Goblin Ball character is no different. As you know more about your character's personality and experiences, you'll be able to add those details to their persona. And just like in real life, every victory and defeat shapes your character somehow.
The process of evolving and learning is known as character development, which keeps the event exciting. So don't be afraid to let your Goblin Ball character grow and change over time. Embrace the magic of transformation and let your character's journey unfold.
