What is a presentation really about?
A presentation is about showing how interesting your character can or will be in the near future. Keep in mind that when presenting your character, it’s not about your feelings (obviously you need to feel satisfied with your own work) nor the way you perceive your character but rather how you can make him/her look good so that any other player can feel more than pleased to write a story with you. You might say a lot but it all ends up being futile and irrelevant to the completion of the being that you are trying to incarnate. It can be short and simple, yet fruitful. Why would I want to go on a mission with you and not the next person ? Why would I want to meet you ? What can you bring that’s either exciting or unique ?
