Per the docs ( http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#storing-additional-information-about-users) it appears you should be using the get_profile() method on a User instance to retrieve the user's profile, so I'd try: char = Character( user_profile = request.user.get_profile(), ... instead of what you have.
