Got an idea with legs, but you’re unsure how to utilize your plans for character development? You’ve come to the right place. We have a free character profile template as well as lots of tips on how to make your pilot pop with excellent character development.

There are a few things to think about when you’re delving into creating a character profile.

WHO?

It seems simple, but right off the bat we need to know who we're going to follow for the next 100 episodes. Let's start with our lead. Who are they on the outside? On the inside? What's the cast of characters look like and who populates the world?

WHAT?

Now that you know who's in the story, it's time to provide some backstory. What's happened to them that defines them? Do they have a secret past? Also, what's happening to them right now?

WHERE?

Are we in a border town in Arizona? Madison Avenue? Or Stars Hollow, Connecticut? Hey, Atlanta is a TV show about how its characters deal with an entire city!

When you're fleshing out your character development, take time to figure out how you can tell the deepest and most meaningful story possible.
