Dosage Characterization

The details that constitute the characterization of a character must be distributed throughout the entire script, so that the most essential details appear immediately in order to keep the viewer's attention on that character.

The tag

The tag, although it does not suggest the psychology of the character, is the characteristic feature that distinguishes the character and, therefore, constitutes the "unary feature" (Jacques Lacan). It is an example of the character's quirks, such as a tic, the scrupulous way of placing pencils on his table, or even his way of sighing.

En los videojuegos y juegos de computador se trata de forma diferente la caracterización del personaje controlado por el jugador, o PC (player character, personaje jugador), que los controlados por el computador, o NPCs (non player characters, personajes no jugadores).

PC

The characterization of the character controlled by the player conditions the player's behavior. The character's vision, attitude, abilities, and motivations tell the player how to approach situations posed in the game's discourse. The equipment available to use also gives the player information about the past of the character they are controlling and provides other ways of dealing with situations.

In video games with a visual component, depending on the position of the camera during the course of the game, the design of the character's appearance must give priority to certain parts: if the game is in first person "First Person (video games)"), the appearance of the forearms and hands is more important, since it is the part of the character that the player will see the most; if it is in third person "Third person (video games)") or from an over-the-shoulder camera, the back of the character, if it is in a top-down perspective, a top view of the character must make it recognizable and transmit all the necessary visual information; If a more cinematic perspective is used "Cinematic (video games)") the external design of the PC can be done in a similar way to that of other visual media.

NPCs

Depending on the type of game, the characterization of computer-controlled characters, or NPCs, can be done through a script or through AI.

The treatment of the characterization of NPCs through a script is similar to that of the performing arts or literature, depending on the means that each game uses to communicate the narrative to the viewer.

AI characterization involves programming characters to react to external stimuli and pursue goals based on their beliefs, abilities, and emotions.

In visual media, some creators use cards with character data. These cards have the dual function of helping the author determine the characteristics of the characters and sharing them with the other members of a team.

Model sheets may include: full front and profile figures; close-ups from the front, profile and half profile; constructive notes that serve as help every time the character must be represented; details of clothing; different outfits; expressive traits: body language, speech patterns, personal quirks, emotional territory (set of expressions that determine the character's temperament), key expressions and poses.
