I started looking for a profile for my characters, because it’s an easy thing to do to fill in questions, when I realized it depends on the questions asked.
If I have a ‘critter’ from another world, she may not carry a purse or wallet. He may not wear clothing. It might not have the proper gender at all.
Which reminds me that I need to figure out questions more suited to the people I’m characterizing. Of course, it also brings to light other aspects – like if you’re working within a intergalactic community – what do they use for ID?

That is a very good question. I wonder if there are any sci-fi specific character sheets available. I like the ones for human characters and even used one once back during my first attempt at nanowrimo. Keep forgetting to use it again but I do have the blank ones saved on my computer somewhere.
I think it might be useful to make up different ones, depending on the project. It makes an author think more about what’s really important in that specific world.
