HELPFUL TIP:

When planning a cast member's talents and skills, think about how genetics, personality traits (both positive attributes and flaws), past experiences, environment, and the character's roles (within a family, a community, and society) all factor into what strengths may form. These special qualities should tie into the story, not only to make the character interesting but also to help him achieve his goal.
DEFINITION:
Intuitively knowing how to make others laugh

DESCRIPTION:
Some characters have a natural sense of humor that appeals greatly to others. It might be in part due to how they dress or act, jokes they tell, or their ability to see humor in the every day. Whatever the source, they are able to convey their viewpoint, sharing the joke and spreading laughter all around. Some refine this talent to become comedians or entertainers, while others find themselves at the center of attention in their own circle of friends, family, and work because they add levity to almost any situation.
