Beginner's Guide to Creating a RPG Story
NOTE: I know this has been done before, but I spent a long time making this.
Introduction:
So, you want to make an RPG? First, you need a story. However, a story can be one of the hardest parts to make. This tutorial will take you through all the steps to create a decent RPG story from scratch.
Contents:
Before You Start
1. Plot
2. Characters
3. Goals
4. Event Flow
5. Title
6. Other things
Before You Start...
You must get some idea about what the story will be. At this step you need to just think of the general, generic idea.
Here are some examples...
- Hero goes to kill Evil King
- Hero travels through space
- Giant mushroom goes on a journey to find more tuna
See? Just come up with the bare-bones of the story. Now we can actually start...
The Plot You absolutely HAVE to get this first. Why is your character doing what he/she is doing? (Hint: Try to avoid revenge as it is cliche and tends to get messy) And don't put a lot of detail into it.
Here is some examples...
- Rick's sister is kidnapped by an evil king. Rick goes to rescue his sister.
Pretty basic, huh? But this is a good start. You can add more onto this later.
Now here is an example of something wrong...
- Rick goes hunting one day. While he is gone, his sister, Sophia, is tending to her garden when the evil king Raul attacks the town. He kidnaps Sophia and lays the town to waste. Rick returns to the ruined town to find that Sophia is gone. He is filled with rage and runs after the evil king with hopes of rescuing her. Meanwhile, in a desert town...
See? Really complex. This is a full-blown story. We aren't there yet.
Anyway, now for the next step...
Characters What are your characters like? Make sure you don't just describe the main hero. Describe the hero, the allies, important NPCs, and major enemies. Here is a template I like to use for describing characters...
Name<-- Pretty obvious, but make the name fit the character. Don't call some little guy "Killer".
Age: __<-- Again, obvious. It lets you know how the character may act in certain situations. Younger people usually are more rash and impulsive than older people.
Race: ___<-- List if they are human or some other type of race. Lots of games make their own races. So be creative.
Class: ___<-- This will tell what kind of skills and weapons they will use. Good classes would be like swordsman, mage, cleric, etc...
Bio: _________<-- Give details about the character's personality, connections to other characters, history of the character, etc...
It's also a good idea to make some type of picture to show what the character looks like. Just remember to do this for all important character. Now for the next step...
Goals What is the hero trying to do? What is the Evil character trying to do? What is the annoying sidekick trying to do? This is where goals come in. They are usually simple one sentence things.
Here are some examples...
- Main hero: Rick- Rescue his sister.
- Ally: Bob- Prove he can still fight despite his age.
- Evil guy: Evil King Raul- Sacrifice Sophia in order to open the gate of power and rule the galaxy.
- Important NPC: Sophia- Not be sacrificed.
Very simple. And from this you can come up with a good storyline. And some characters can have multiple goals. If they do, just list them all.
Now for the next step...
Event Flow Alright, this is where you finally get to plan out the flow of the RPG. Basically all you do is list the major events in order. Once you have the major events made, some smaller event ideas may (And most likely will) come to you and you can find places to fit them in. You can make an Event Flow in any organized way, but here is an example of how I did one for the example game...
Rick goes to hunt in the forest --> Town is attacked, Sophia is kidnapped --> Rick leaves town to go rescue Sophia --> Rick loses trail near ice town --> Rick enters ice town and meets Bob --> Bob asks Rick if he can help him destroy a beast --> Rick and Bob leave to go defeat beast --> Defeat beast --> Rick is told that Raul was headed towards a desert town-->... And so on and so forth...
So, this will give you an idea on how to go about making a game. Now for another step...
The TitleThis can be a hard part of the game. There are a few rules that should be followed...
1. Make the title have some thing to do with the story.
2. Avoid using "Legend of", "Adventures of", and other things like that, as they are cliche.
3. Avoid using the words "Last", "Final", or "End" unless you don't plan on having a sequel.
And that is all. Here is the title I came up for the example game- "Gate of Power" (Remember, I spent 5 minutes thinking of this entire story. You will probably spend much longer.) Well, we are almost done. All that is left is fill in the...
Other ThingsThis includes...
- Town names
- Magic
- Side quests
- And anything else you can think of.
Town names can be hard. A good idea is to use real town names. Just don't use anything like New York. Use small town names. There is a town near my house called Yokina. That would be a good RPG town name.
Magic names are important only if the magic is used in the story. Come up with original names. Don't use stuff like Fire, Water, Ice... And DO NOT use magic spells widely used in the Final Fantasy series. Stuff like Ultima. It makes your game not seem as original.
Side quests can be thought of later. Basically just make them missions that you just get something good at the end. If it includes part of the main story, it in NOT a side quest.

Ever finished building your Dungeons and Dragons, Vampire: The Requiem, Mutants and Masterminds, or other RPG character and wondered, "How can I make this a character of depth and substance?" A back-story or biography for your character is the easiest way to transform her or him from a two-dimensional figure to a fascinating and inciting hero (or maybe villain!). Hopefully, this guide will help you in the process.

Edit Steps
1Determine the physical qualities of your character. This includes most of the things you will find on the character sheet (sex, age, class, appearance, clothing, etc,.). Many of these traits will be imperative to determining the history and tastes of your character.

2Decide whether you want your character to be ethically "Good," "Evil," or somewhere in between.
3Ask yourself what your character's goals are. For what are they fighting? Later, you will be able to expand upon this by explaining why the character has these goals (What in his/her history lead him/her to have these goals? Does the character's likes/dislikes have an influence on these goals?).
4Now you get to the environmental influences upon your character. Where did he/she grow up? What social class is he/she? Who are/were some of the people closest to him/her (enemies, parents, friends, love interests, etc,.)? Remember that the physical and social environment a character grew and lives in has a huge effect on the philosophies of that character.
5Start to sculpt the personality of the character starting more generally and getting more specific (Ex: Is your character more of a type A or type B personality? What does he/she like and fear? Does he/she have any quirks? What are some of the secrets your character will have this adventure?) Keep in mind that a campaign adventure will help you flesh out and grow your character, so don't worry if you are having difficulty deciding on the specifics.
6Move on to constructing the history of your character. What has happened to him/her to make him/her the person he/she is today?
7Lastly, it is nice for both you and your Game Master if you tie into your back-story how your character is connected to the campaign (Was your character somehow wronged by the antagonist? Was your character simply trying to help his/herself or his/her people and was swept up in the adventure?). Having finished the history and personality of your character, this should be a rather simple thing to do working alongside your Game Master.
its an idea i had written a few yrs ago im basicly just rewriting the story keeping the basics pretty much similar to the preivieus ill post it later when i find were i put it but its about four angel/gods aka dragons gods blood chidren mother gaberelle an angel giving birth to have gods/angels giving them the name dragons to were the legend of dragons and the phonix to tell u more now will be spoilers i post more later and in better details.
i rember were i wrote this summery just go to www.buzzle.com and look up shelly huff i wrote a lot of stuffvon there i lost the papers to so i can just use my published stuff on copy write.
Wow, *eyes start to water from lack of blinking* thats allot.
I have new story IDEA! *Dances and sings while looking for a notebook*

Mod
Because I had two pints of orange koolaid, three KING size candy bars and a right now I'm eating a hershy bar!
Mod
Huh, what IDEA, you know my IDEAs are sometimes deadly why would you want to know my DEADLY IDEA!
Mod
found it the original i changed the story a bit so it would have a beging the preface is a memory from the time she was given a mission for hercrime in heven (dont worry shes not evil, but crimes in heaven dont always make sense to us) the missions a mystery and the main charater phonix/ carrie snow is one of the four royal dragons god/angels she is sent to earth and always dies at nineteen after regaing her memories if she dosent regain the she may live longer but not always. tell more later dinner at the collge im going to soon 1st day of class/dorm room
Okay every body ready for me to rant on my IDEA?
i want to hear it. why so much sugar??????
Okay, so a girl who is an elf is 15, when she was younger her elven clan was evacuating the forest she lives in, she was lost on the way so she's traped in that forest, and she has to hid in the sun light cause the forest is swarming with Shadows, evil creatre that are like Vampire, but instead of feeding off of your blood they live off of your soul and if they get an elf's soul they will live forever. When the elven girl escapes the forest at last, she meets an unusual boy, of course the elf has never seen a human before, so she follows him to a near by town.That all I have for now, I don't have a name for the elf.
