What is a Tracker?

Though it goes by several different names, a Tracker is intended to keep your character learning and growing. A perfectly steady character can oftentimes also grow stale.

It is up to the individual RPer to keep their characters actively learning and experiencing new things. An updated journal of your character's journey will help other prospective RPers know your story, and how best to jump into an RP with you.

While we're pretty lax about what exactly needs to be in a character tracker, we've got some general ideas that will help you in the long run:

Who, what, where, when and why:

Keep track of your threads.
Who they were with,
what they were about,
where,
when it took place in your character's timeline and,
why: what is the significance of what happened in that thread? It doesn't have to be incredibly dire, but if something your character deems significant happened, make sure to make note of it!

You may keep track of your threads however you so choose.

Because I'm nice, I made a general tracker template too. Whether or not you use it to keep track of your journal information or you keep track of your journal info through another means is up to you:
