Character Sheets

As was promised, or rather as will be promised in the episode about to be posted, I'm posting an example of my current character sheets. It's been converted to HTML so you can easily view it in your browser. For my own use it's basically just a table in an OpenOffice Writer file, apart from the personal history which sits below the table. This is actually a minor character from the work I'm currently editing. I've filled in a few blanks before posting this, but the character's personal history remains incomplete.

My apologies for the huge scroll down, I'll try to get that fixed tomorrow, but can't currently work it out.

Personal History:

Constance was born near the top of one of the Tokyo harbour towers.
She was a quick study at school, but withdrawn because of a stutter.
Even after she overcame her stutter she remained withdrawn, more
likely to think than to speak.

It was Forester's Horatio Hornblower who first got her
interested in military service. The purposefully quiet hero held an
appeal for a fifteen year old girl of a quiet disposition. Her
family didn't approve though, and yielding to the pressure Constance
actually qualified as a psychologist, before joining the ASF after
all.

The space forces would have preferred her to be a psychologist
in the service, qualified psychological and medical personnel are
continually scarce, but she managed to get into the regular officer
training program.
