I am collecting a list of character attributes for character write ups....

Anything to add?

My silliest character is a devout Catholic homosexual transsexual in polygamous marriages with both men and women, pre and post op :-)

Age, Appearance, Body type, Food, Health, Hobbies & fun, Intelligence, Job, Legal status, Life, Maturity, Mental condition, Mental traumas, Money, Nationality, Physical traumas, Political affliation, Race, Relationship status, Religion, Romantic status, Salary, Sex, Sexuality, Skills, Sleep patterns, Species

I see a difference between character personality and attributes. Example, a conservative Republican who approves and actively supports abortion. Somewhere between opposing attributes you can find interesting friction and internal dialogue.
