Prompts
- "It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself." Eleanor Roosevelt
- It's Coming Out Day. Your character is either gay, lesbian or transgender - what happens when they come out to their family or friends (or even themselves)?
- An alternative take on Coming Out Day - your character has to tell their family that they've rejected some family tradition or philosophy. An example might be a character raised in a vegan family having to admit they like meat; a character who has converted to a new religion; the son/daughter of a pair of renowned scientists who wants to be an artist. You get the idea. Use one of these examples or think of one of your own.
- It's My Party (and I'll Cry if I Want To).
- "Just say no."

Character Traits
- Likely to be deeply religious and to enjoy the protection of a religious figure. Alternatively they may treat their political leanings or their work like a religion. Their religion could also become their work, as clergy is one possible career.
- Other careers may be art, literature, science, electrician, public service or lawyer.
- The support of a high ranking person will help them develop their talents and appear indispensable to others.
- Likely to do a lot of charity work, helping the poor and needy.
- There's a possibility they will take vows of celibacy or live lives of seclusion. If they do marry, they need an outlet for their active natures outside of the home.
- Food is their weakness - there is a danger of over-indulging.
- Art is another area where they may be tempted to be wasteful.
- Alternate between extreme self-control and wastefulness.
