Character Workshop
Step into Beckinfield as someone entirely new. The Character Creation Workshop below walks you through everything you need to bring your in-town persona to life — from picking a name to shaping their history and adding the little quirks that make them unforgettable.
Watch the short, easy-to-follow videos, jot down your ideas, and by the end you’ll have a fully formed character ready to post their first video diary.
This is where your Beckinfield story begins.
1. Your Character
Learn how to bring a fictional resident of Beckinfield to life — from choosing a name to understanding your role in shaping the town’s story.
2. Finding the Light

3. Building Depth- The Wound

5. Arena of Conflict
Pick the setting or relationship where your character’s waking nightmare will play out — and where endless stories can be told.

Design the key figures who will challenge your character — from obvious villains to unexpected “friends” who cause trouble.
7. The Secret of Beckinfield
Uncover the unifying principle behind every character in town — and learn how to keep creating compelling stories, week after week.
