A Character is one of the core elements of a larp[1]. It is often the persona adopted by various actors within a larp and performed in order to inhabit the story. They are fictional constructs with distinct personalities and relationships from the players, that are written to help tell an interesting story. Some characters may not appear in the game, but exist as relationships or agents in the backstories of other characters, creating the impression of a fictitious larger social world beyond the game.
They are written either by players, organisers, or as a collaboration between the two. Players will sometimes then wear costumes to help bring the character they are playing to life. Some characters may develop and change over time during the course of a story.
