Crimson Caster
THE WEAVE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING.
Arcane. Ambitious. Transformed.
Blood-marked. Rune-etched. Fate-touched.
For those who reach beyond mortal limits.
DESCRIPTION:
This fourteen-page Google Doc template for a single muse is designed with a D&D spellcaster in mind! It's meant to be a compendium to your other sources that will have all of the RAW for you, with a focus on the deep characterization of your cutie pie in order to roleplay them as thoroughly as can be. When I originally made this for a character of mine, it was actually insane how much it helped me better understand her and thus play her better. I loved it! Although perhaps a bit tedious to do, this can be changed to any color or vibe that would better fit your adventurer!
Complexity Level: This one is a bit more complex if you're editing the aesthetic, but simply adding your own info will be a breeze!
Page Order: Front cover, introduction, basics, personality, attributes, physical traits, appearance, proficiencies, statistics, features, magic, possessions, and backstory x2.
(Should I go back and add a relationships page too?)
Elements: Warm tones, red/maroon, black & white, cream/tan, gray/grey, supernatural, Dungeons & Dragons, D&D, TTRPGs, and royalty. Lots of room to write!
TIPS ON MAKING IT YOUR OWN:
- For full editing capabilities, you will need to access this template on a computer. Templates are viewable on mobile if you toggle the "Print Layout" option (likely to be found in the top-right menu).
- Text, colors, and layout elements can be adjusted to fit your needs. Nonetheless, do not remove the linked emoji [✵] and credit link [template by kaleidoscope docs ✵] that direct to my Tumblr.
- In my work, visuals are often added as Google "Drawings". If you click on an image, you can tell if it's a regular photo or a Drawing because a Drawing has a little bar pop up across the bottom of the selection that has an "✎ Edit " button in the bottom left. Drawings are completely editable (even more so than images!) once you open the Drawings Editing Window. You either click that "✎ Edit" button or double-click the image (when you already have the image selected). I recommend the button because sometimes that double-tap glitches. Nonetheless, either of these actions will open the Drawing Editing Window. This will allow you to replace photos and change colors of shapes like you would normally.
- Often times in my newer templates, I put the Drawings in headers because then they aren't in your way when editing text. (This makes the text easier to edit in mobile apps, although Drawings themselves can only be edited on desktops/laptops.) To access the header, double-tap at the top of the page first. Then click on the background Drawing once, which will allow you to then open Drawing for editing!
- Avoid copy-pasting images directly into the document, as this may disrupt the formatting. Always use the "Replace Image" function instead.
- Be mindful of text limits and the sizes of text boxes, as exceeding what is already in the template can disrupt the formatting.
- The "Backstory" page is formatted in a way that will allow you to use more pages without any formatting issues, so long as you maintain the section break between pages one and two. There are details on how to ensure this is done correctly in the document itself. If your backstory extends to three or more pages, the text will simply continue on in a two-column manner and push the last page back. You may also choose to add decorative foreground images to these pages, but that is up to your discretion.
