Persons of Interest: 24 Character Case Files for Writers | Printable Character Profiles & Story Prompts

Every file is a character waiting for a story. Persons of Interest is a printable set of 24 original characters, each profiled like a classified case file: who they are, what broke them, what drives them, what they're hiding, and where the trail leads next.

Inside each file: the story hook, background and description, a psychological profile (wound, want, need, fear, ideal, flaw), habits and tells, a line of dialogue, a sealed secret twist, three leads to follow, and space for your notes.

Also included: a blank case file to profile your own characters, an 18-question character interrogation, an evidence board for mapping connections, and a life timeline.

Genres: horror, thriller, mystery, fantasy, romance, sci-fi and Appalachian gothic.

32 pages · US Letter and A4 PDFs · instant download.

Use these characters freely in your own writing; please don't resell or share the file.
