CHARACTERS?!?!?!?!

[_ImHere4You_]

Since we all love roleplay and chjaracters and all,, what is your favourite thing to do when making a character? is there a specific routine you follow? a set of steps? is there a certain method you use to make your characters?!?!

For me, I like to start with the 'theme' - which usually begins with some for of inspriation. Once I decide a character's theme : cruelty, time, deciet, peace, and what have you - I USUALLY, find some music to accompy said theme and begin making sketches of the character, which helps me then later decide key traits, lore, and the rest flows pretty smoothly!!

what about you lot?

Is it safe for me to say that I already have a list of different chars for YRP and that said list already has 16 different char ideas?

A lot of the times, if I have a certain idea/style in mind, then I usually find something I like (like certain outfits or like color theme and so on), then I can make a char out of it! (So, yeah...)

I also do really love seeing other people's chars and showing off my own, which maybe I will do one day! (I'm planning on making bio's for two-three of them already :3)

For characters I also start with a theme, or aesthetic! It depends on the environment they are in though.
I can't say I like seeing an out of place character in the wrong environment! EX: If you bring to a medieval character to modern era.. it's just cringe man!
I hope and pray to see uniquely made characters!
If you wanna share your characters feel free to DM me I love hearing about them!

I have so many characters- it should be a crime, but I think my favorite part about making the characters, is writing their lore and also describe them as much as I can so people can basically paint a picture of the character in their mind before seeing the art or pictures of them. I even make like- Pinterest boards for them So I can get a feel of them!

I usually find stuff on Pinterest and see what would look good for each character so it depends on vibes and would look good personally. Another things is that I would test an outfit on a character to match their vibe.

For me is finding the inspirations, and writing their lore. I mostly take like, my favorite series or even a character from a game, i don't really follow the same lore as them as i'd prefer making my own lore from scratch. But i do take some information or even a unique piece of them that i apply to that character. It's also fun if i played the character IN a mc rp, i do tailoring myself and it's fun to make the outfits for your own character.. though sometimes i commission someone if i'm not in the mood to do so.

Honestly, my favourite thing to do when making a character (or one of them at least,) is to figure out how they interact with others. Figuring out how they treat others, what personalities they clash with and why, as well as what types of people they mesh well with is always fun, and sometimes these discoveries come about later on when playing the character!

My character making process is... Very much all over the place. Usually something sparks inspiration, such as a song, quote, art piece, or even a dream! Once I have this inspiration, I start branching off from it. I find media that fits the main idea or aesthetic of the character, take some personality quizzes to see what kind of weirdo this new brain worm is. Drawing the character and figuring out their design helps too, but there's really no specific formula for me when it comes to making characters!
