I know it looks like a lot, but you won’t need to use everything in this template. Treat this as a brain dump! Keep what you need and leave out what you don't. My rule of thumb is to spend 3-4 hours brainstorming, depending on how much research and referencing you need to develop your character.
This is what my drafts will look like for those who commissioned me.
