Hey everybody! I'm doing a survey of people's original characters to see what traits are common and aren't common. Not only do I get data which I can later share with the public, but you guys get a bunch of questions that will help develop your characters more! Be warned that this is long, with over 500 questions total. You won't have to answer all of them.

By filling out and submitting this survey, you are agreeing to let me publish your answers as a part of my data. The survey is completely anonymous; neither your name nor the name of your character will be recorded, unless you decide to give it to me. If you want to fill out the survey for character development purposes but not let me use your answers in my results, just don't submit it when you reach the last page. You can fill this out as many times as you want.

A quick warning: this survey contains references to abuse, self harm, suicide, rape, and other ugly stuff, so watch out. All of it is in text form and there are no graphic depictions of any of these things. Also, there is an optional NSFW section that gets very explicit. You will not have to see those questions unless you choose to.
