This will help bring your character to life. Define fundamentals like your age, where you’re from and where you’re going. Are you on a mission? Who are your parents? Do you have a significant other or children? If so, where are they? Are you wealthy or poor? Do you work or practice a trade? Does your character have a destiny?  Establishing the basic elements of a character's backstory is incredibly important, but you can get far more detailed and specific if you’d like. The backstory can be as rich as you desire. Avoid basing your character’s personality traits on your own, which is a common pitfall. The experience is much richer if you create traits objectively. Ask yourself questions like: Is your character good, evil, or a complicated mix of both? How about aggressive or defensive? Brave? Kind? Is your character impulsive or does he or she act with common sense? Is he/she charming? Despicable? Trustworthy?  Allow your character to have flaws.  The game will be more interesting when your character is realistic and imperfect. During a game, your character will be faced with one situation after another, and each situation will require a choice. These choices dictate where the game goes. You will need to define what your character’s motives are in order to make appropriate and realistic choices.  For example, imagine a character who has run away from home after being shunned by his father for being a thief. He meets a group of distinguished adventurers in a tavern and is invited to join them. He must make a decision. After being shamed by his father, the character wants to gain some prestige and respect so that he can return home one day unashamed. This is his motive. It would make sense for this character to choose to join this group of adventurers, since it could provide opportunities to gain respect and redeem himself. As the game progresses, your character gains knowledge and experience by going through trials, defeating enemies, overcoming challenges and completing quests. These events should contribute to the development of your character in a realistic way.  For example, after defeating a string of enemies, it would make sense for your character to feel more empowered, make bolder choices and take on challenges that he/she wouldn’t have tried at the beginning of the game. Think about how new knowledge, experience, and skills might influence your character’s choices moving forward.

Q: Instrumentalists of all skill levels need to warm up to play their best. Warming up and performing exercises regularly will improve your speed, technique, and knowledge of your instrument.  Tune your instrument every time you play so that you learn the correct notes for the song. Try new scales and rhythms in different keys and tempos to prepare for new songs. Take care of your instrument with new strings, reeds, drum heads, etc. so that you get the sound you want. You should be familiar with the entire song, but you need to know your instrument's part like the back of your hand. Search the internet for a copy of the song without any vocals, if applicable. Playing with your music player's equalizer can help isolate your instrument. Pump up the bass, or turn up the treble to hear the drums. The snare drum is often easiest to hear, so learn the whole snare drum rhythm first. Then add the ride cymbal rhythm, then move on to the kick drum, etc. Get the basic rhythm down before trying any wild solos or drum fills. Most songs are composed of several bars of music that are repeated many times. Once you know a few "building blocks" of the song you can learn these separately and combine them later.  Most parts are either 1,2,4, or 8 bars longs. Different parts of songs (verses, choruses, bridges, solos) often have slightly different parts that repeat. Learn each part individually. To make sure that you can play the song cleanly and without mistakes, start practicing the song around half the tempo you eventually want to play it. As you get comfortable, speed up your play while practicing. A metronome is an invaluable way to practice your rhythm and work your way up to the right tempo. This let's you hear if you played each part correctly or missed notes. If you can gather some musicians together, play the song with a full band, where can play your instrument without any guidance or support. Improvisation is the act of spontaneously composing new parts over an established song, and is the best way to know if you can play a song. By taking inspiration from the song and adding your own spin, you deepen your connection to the song and make it your own. Remember-- you need to stay in the same key and keep the same rhythm.  Scales are collections of notes that sound good together and are the basis for melody solos and improvisation. Play around with a scale in the correct key to start improvising. The most common scales in modern music are the major scale and the minor pentatonic. If you keep the same number of beats you can change the speed by doubling or tripping your percussion hits. For example, if a song is in 4/4 (4 beats to a measure), you can play "double time" by playing twice as many notes in the same rhythm, making 8/4. Play around to the original song. If you have a recording of the song, play it in the background while you try to invent new parts over the top of it.
A: Perform warm up and technical exercises to improve your play. Listen to the song 3-4 times paying specific attention to your instrument. For percussionists, add one drum at a time to help you learn the song quickly. Figure out the song's pattern. Start practicing at a slower tempo, then build up speed. Play your instrument along with the original song. Improvise new lines over what you've learned.

Article: Aim to clean your chandelier with either the “crystals on” or “crystals off” method every year for a fixture that remains shining and bright.  Observe your chandelier periodically for visible dust, cloudy crystals, or spots. These are all indications that you should clean your fixture right away. Clean more often if your chandelier is located in a kitchen, as it will build up more grease and grime than in other areas of the house. Entryways are another area in which a chandelier may need more frequent cleaning. If you’ve never cleaned your chandelier, opt for a deep clean by performing the “crystals off” method. Otherwise, the less time-intensive “crystals on” method will typically suffice for regular cleaning. Choose a deeper clean particularly if there are stubborn spots or a cloudy, milky quality to the crystal that isn’t removed by a simple dusting. To make your clean last longer, use a soft feather or lambswool duster to lightly clear dust from the frame and crystals. You'll need a stepladder, but you do not need to disassemble the fixture.  A good general rule is to dust every few months, or whenever you notice a visible layer of dust or haziness on the crystals, frame, or bulbs. It’s also a good idea to dust before any wet cleaning, as you can remove larger dust and dirt particles ahead of time.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try to clean every 12 months. Decide on a deep or shallow clean. Dust in between cleanings.

Article: It's easiest if you hold the two leftmost strands in your left hand, and the two rightmost strands in your right hand, allowing the center strand to hang loose. Numbering the strands can help you keep them straight. They should look like  1 2 3 4 5. Move it over strand 2, and under strand 3, so that it's now in the center.  You should now have 2 3 1 4 5. You are essentially weaving your hair, moving the strands from the right to the left, and the left to the right.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Hold the strands with both hands. Move the leftmost strand to the center.
