Short Description How would your Character describe themselves?

Short Description can be at 0-50 characters.

The Short Description, as the name implies, gives the system a concise way to describe the Character and scenario. You might also think of the Short Description as a Title, as it will appear in listings of characters after the name.

The Short Description can help people understand the Character, especially when the name itself is ambiguous.

For example, if the Character’s name is Maria, a helpful Short Description might be “I can help you practice Intermediate Spanish” or even just “Spanish Teacher.”

You can write a (short) complete sentence (“I am a Greek historian”) or it could be as if it’s their answer to the question “What do you do?”, i.e. “Greek historian”
