So, here we show the concepts for characters that we haven't actually made. I'll go first.

My concept is a human orphan who was aducted at a young age and was raised by aliens.

Ooh I have a fair amount of these. To anyone reading this, feel free to use them–I already have way too many characters lol.

• Memory-altering mutant who can only affect the memories of people once they've successfully caused their target to doubt themselves. Potential sub-powers would possibly include hypnosis, which can be used on allies or foes alike to either aid or incapacitate a person. This character is a therapist.
• A demigod of a minor godly parent no one knows (including them) using social media platforms to avoid being forgotten and ceasing to exist. Bonus if they're generally weak, but super old because of a particular gimmick they have. Like a Bugs Bunny effect that lets them bullshit themselves out of almost any situation instantly.
• A werewolf with acute gymnophobia (fear of nudity) that they have to learn to bypass being in a pack that is entirely desensitized to it. Alternatively, a vampire with homophobia (fear of blood) thinks they've found an alternative to drinking blood when it's actually just their friend that has disguised it as fruit punch.

I have more but I'm exhausted and I have a midterm tomorrow so I'mma head out. Might add to this later if I remember!

This concept is from a song's lyrics ("The Horror and the Wild" by Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland)

Think of all the horrors that I promised you I'd bring
I promise you, they'll sing of every time
you passed your fingers through my hair and called me "child"—
Witness me, old man, I am The Wild

Basically, a force of nature mistaken as something helpless.

I have three characters, actually, whose existence depends solely on what actions a group of characters take when presented with a choice. This group of characters is from a roleplay, and only one of them belongs to me — I’ll be trying to steer my group into the plot where these three characters exist through my own, but the thing is, the other characters have a moral code which might prevent them from doing so. Which is sad.

Ooooo- I don't know if I'll be able to explain mine butttt- my idea is a monster that used to be a small child, they have no arms and no face. But they wear a bow, and the ribbons coming off of the bow act as their arms. The middle of the bow would be their eye. They dress up as a ballerina, with the tutu and the whole costume. The way they talk is by speaking into other people's minds. Like, they project THEIR thoughts into other people's head to talk to them. They're good at manipulation when they want to be but usually just act like a small child, innocent and almost sickeningly sweet.
