draw on material you've already put together.
Player Characters

may entirely define this if it is a role-playing game. But if you're asking the player to play
as one or more players, this is where you'd do that.
Character #1
Give as many details as you can about the character from traits to backstory. Concept art
if you have it. Try to make this character come to life and connect it to the world around
it.
Character #N
Give as many details as you can about the character from traits to backstory. Concept art
if you have it. Try to make this character come to life and connect it to the world around
it.
Non-Player Characters

Character #1

it.
