Make a P.G. Wodehouse world OC!!

Why? Just for fun. I also like to imagine the possibilities for an rpg set in the world of his stories (with its characteristic plots and logic)

Here are some questions to get you started, pick and choose which ones to create characters. I recognize only certain stock types of characters appear in the actual Wodehouse stories but this is set up to both play to that and allow you to go outside it,

Name,

- First/personal,

- Middle name(s),

- Surname(s),

- Initials,

- Nickname(s), include origins, who uses what name, and your character’s thoughts on them if any,

- Titles, if any current or to-inherit,

Whole name written out,

- Nom de guerre (silly names taken on as cover in any court proceedings, mayhem),

- Nom de plume, if any,

Sex,

Age,

(Name age in whatever year you’re saying it is)

Birthdate,

Relationship to gender/sexism relevant to 1900-1930 social sensibilities in the UK, include feelings on this, if any,

Ethnic background and cultural affiliations,

Racial classification relevant to 1900-1930 social sensibilities in the UK, include feelings on this, if any,

Citizenship(s), if any,

Description of class status and background relevant to 1900-1930 social sensibilities in the UK, include feelings on this, if any,

Sexual orientation, (include if homosexual, bisexual, heterosexual, or asexual and also degree of self-knowledge of it and feelings on it if any),

Ability/disability, mental and physical health, include attitude towards self in these areas and treatment by others if applicable,

Language(s) spoken/written, wholly or partially,

Dialect, accent, usual register (tone, formality, etc), use of slang if any, habits or quirks in speech, description of voice,

If your character were asked to give a speech to school boys or school girls, how would it go, would you need notes, have it memorized, or speak extemporaneously, and, generally, what would be said,

School(s) attended, if any,

Achievements, notable experiences, best and worst subjects, reputation, sports or other affiliations at school, if any,

Occupation(s) and hobbies, if any,

Associated employer(s), if any,

Associated servant(s) or employee(s), if any,

Social clubs and frequent haunts, if any,

Description of social circle(s),

Dwelling(s), if any,

Owned businesses, investments, liquid capital, potential inheritance and its sources, if any,

Debts, how much, how incurred, to whom, if any,

Mode(s) of transport,

Pet(s) if any, names of them, who cares for them and how,

Temperament (summary),

Political affiliations, if any,

Would your character be willing to stand as a candidate in an election? How would that go?

Opinion on Sir Roderick and his Black Shorts, if in a story with them, if any opinion,

Opinion on the Bolshevik cell, the Red Dawn led by the Rowbothams, if in a story with them, if any opinion,

Philosophical affiliations, if any,

Spiritual/religious beliefs, affiliations, or lack thereof,

Does your character have a Code like the Code of the Woosters? What, variably, is included if so?

What would someone use to blackmail you? How well would it work?

Tastes in food and drink, include if allergic or vegetarian, or a teetotaler, and why,

Narrative description of appearance,

Tastes in fashion, usual dress,

Tastes in hairstyles, opinions on facial hair,

Tastes in literature, art, music,

Tastes in furnishings, prized possessions, if any,

Travel experience, if any,

What are you doing at the village fair,

Interested in gambling or syndicates, against, or neutral/uninterested?

Family history summary with noted ancestors, if any,

Close relations, include summary of each relation’s name, titles if any, tie to your character, occupation(s), dwelling(s), and if they get along, are alive and in touch or otherwise,

Friends and associates, include a similar summary of each, and how each gets along with your character,

Romantic entanglements, past and present, if any, be sure to include any outstanding misunderstandings and if your character is aware of them or not,

Enemies, hatreds, fears and dangers, if any,

Current habits, preferred schedule, pace of life,

3 ships: ok time to air my very specific kinda whack taste

the beast / enoch (over the garden wall) mainly because of the fic blutrunst which... im actually surprised ive never mentioned before

bertie / jeeves (pg wodehouse canon) gaygaygay

jenkins/literally anybody. ive spent way too much time today rotating him in my brains. he needs someone with higher emotional intelligence who will also aid and abet. me and mjrdm both have OCs for this purpose SNDBSN

First ship: it was shesh/theo from a super obscure novel called king of rpgs, before i cleared this blog it was a blog for that novel actually :p i think it catalyzed my favorite dynamic which is mildly-dissatisfied and self-loathing character and person who really REALLY likes them

Last song: pictures of you - oingo boingo

Last film: Treasure Planet, i had never seen it before (FATAL ERROR)

Currently reading: oh god so many things. the crucible cos i love the puritans. a collection of hawthorne's short stories cos i love the puritans. im TRYING to read one of the jeeves anthologies in french but its very slow going.... im also partway through a historical fiction about lady godiva, i need to sit my silly ass down and finish one book i am a notorious book half-finisher 😭

Currently craving: this is probably supposed to be a food but man recently i really really want to go to a Ghost concert lmfsbdsj

if you want to do this too @mjrdm @poor-ciceros-voring-again @siorafede @divinenanny (and anyone who sees, im sleepy and probably forgetting things lol) id be curious :]
