Ever wonder how to create that perfect OC, roleplay character, or character for writing? Well, I'm here to give you some ideas >:D [this is mostly for writing ^^] 1. Names :: Pick unique, interesting names for characters! I google "list of names", find a name that I think fits the character, and then I google the meaning to see if it fits the character. If it does, I'm all set! Or you can come u with your own names. Keep them unique, especially for a fantasy story if you're writing something, but not too long. No one wants to read a book where the main character's name looks like a keyboard smash lol- 2. appearance :: appearances are an important part of building your character. what do they look like? what species/race are they, and do they have any appearance traits from that species? a specific hair color, or skin tone? do they inherit anything from their parents? 3. Backstories :: backstories are a really important part to creating our character. where do they come from? are they an orphan? were they raised in a castle, or did they come for a poor family? how does this backstory tie in with your main story? tragic backstories are really nice as well, as they give the character something to be sad over/they add depth to the story, especially if the character was raised to think their past was fine, and they didn't really know anything about their "real past". [eg :: sophie foster from KOTLC] 4. how they interact with others :: how does your character interact with others? are they an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert? are they grumpy and annoying or excited and nice? do they talk much, or only a little? are they nice or mean to others? 5. Your character's goal/motivation :: What drives your character? what is their goal? why do they keep going? do they want treasure or fame? is someone they love in danger? all characters need a motivation. I'm not going to cover everything about personality and stuff lol-this was meant to be short. Anyway, I hoped this helped you :D
