I always get bored with character sheets. It is critical that you know your main characters well though, so they are a necessary evil. As a Fantasy writer, many of the existing character sheets have so many aspects that don’t apply to epic fantasy characters. Other character sheets go on and on forever. I have yet to find one I like.
The solution: make my own. I kept it to one page and tried to stick with only the most critical elements of a character. Something else I included was an area for a character arc. This will help me remember that if the character is important enough that I have a character sheet on them, then they need an arc, even a minor one.

Below is a glimpse of the document. The formatting is a bit messed up, but I’m proud of myself for figuring out how to embed this at all. Eventually, I’ll figure out how to embed a PDF version so it won’t mess up the formatting. Click the character sheet hyperlink above to get the correctly formatted character sheet.
