>>3338934Just thinking in terms of what aspects of the characters I think are most immediately distinguishing and transferable. Really, I don't know why I'm putting so much thought into this. It's not like I actually intend to codify a homebrew system or anything. I guess it's just fun to think about.
Let me offer you some advice that has helped me tremendously in the past. Before you go to bed, drink a warm beverage (milk is the classic remedy, but chamomile tea and decaffeinated green tea also work very well), and put on some ambient noise to occupy your mind (mine is almost constantly racing, so I have trouble getting rested in complete silence; I have a small fan that I keep running all night just for the noise, but a ten-hour ambient loop you could find on youtube is just as good; I enjoy the sound of thunderstorms); also, avoid looking at your clock and try to think about things you find enjoyable or soothing. I hope that helps you.
