this is NOT a critique thread. if responding, be nice n say what u like about the character, not what you dislike!

  • who are they? (name/age/overview/etc.)
  • what/who inspired you 2 create them?
  • how much have they changed since u first made them, if at all?
  • what's a fun fact or piece of trivia?
  • do they have a theme song or a playlist?
  • do they have a catchphrase? what would it be if not?
  • what's ur favorite thing about them? (could be their name/backstory/powers/personality/etc.)

zelda is one of my favorite ocs so i thought i would share her :)


she's able 2 manipulate her psychic energy n manifest it as a weapon, which for her is a really big sword. she's been employed by the govt. 2 kind of roam the streets n fight other psychic kids/enemies of the govt. in a dystopian society. she's really powerful/scary/intimidating for her age especially n is the main antagonist of her universe

i got inspiration for her from a dream i had n kind of combined it with the loose idea of "unreasonably powerful anime girl with a weapon that's like 2x the size of her". i almost always draw my characters first before i do anything else with them, so her personality stems from that. i think if she was a real person i would most definitely be scared of her. my favorite thing about her is her design, big sword n her powers :) i also like how chaotic she is

some trivia!
her theme song is takyon by death grips (links 2 youtube video)
she has really bad motion sickness :( which is why she rlly hates taking the bullet train n walks as much as she can

  • Who are they? (name/age/overview/etc.) William Wintergrean is a Supernatural oc that stars in his own story, Demon's Hunt.
  • What/who inspired you 2 create them?
    The television show Supernatural. I wanted to do a piece of fan fic that doesn't directly star the show's cast.
  • How much have they changed since u first made them, if at all?
    William hasn't changed at all; all of my characters develop as I am writing.
  • What's a fun fact or piece of trivia?
    William is a type of demon that is thought of as a myth/legend.
  • Do they have a theme song or a playlist?

  • Do they have a catchphrase? what would it be if not?
    "Been there, done that."
  • What's ur favorite thing about them? (could be their name/backstory/powers/personality/etc.)
    Does everything count? Lol
  • Do they represent anything for you/mean anything special?
    I'd have to say that he represents me when I'm angry or something, for when I write for him he brings out my inner a**hole; I'm actually quite friendly.
  • How similar/different are you compared 2 them?
    Whereas William is a sadistic, rude, sarcastic prick, I am actually quite friendly. We both love food and animals.
  • Would you personally like them if they were a real person? would u get along?
    I honestly don't know the answer to these questions….
  • Anything else you want 2 include!
    He loves to show off!

@ccb group

@turnip tiny girl with big sword is an absolutely INFALLIBLE concept. she's perfect in theory and even better in execution.

@Starfast group

I'll probably come back to talk about more of my characters, but I guess I'll start with Milo
Who are they? (name/age/overview/etc.) He goes by Milo, but it's not his real name (that's a secret). He's 25 years old, and he's a morally grey secondary character in one of stories that I'm planning. I tend to compare him to Gaston a lot because he's also a little bit of a narcissist.
what/who inspired you 2 create them? I'm not sure? I've had him forever. I came up with the earliest version of his story in like 2007, but a different version that's a little closer to what he is today came like a year or two later.
how much have they changed since u first made them, if at all? He's changed so much! His appearance and backstory have stayed pretty consistent but his personality did a complete 180. He used to be this kind of cliched knight in shining armour, lawful good character that everyone loved. Now he's kind of this shady, yet charismatic guy that people don't really trust. There's been a lot of other things that have changed as well, but if I went into all of them this post would be like a mile long. His personality is kind of the main thing.
What's a fun fact or piece of trivia? He has a really soft spot for his pets. Most people wouldn't really expect that from him, but he has a horse and a cat that he treats like his children. He loves them so much.
do they have a theme song or a playlist? I've always associated Knights of Cydonia and Uprising by Muse with him.
do they have a catchphrase? what would it be if not? He doesn't really have one, but if he did it would probably be something like "Do you trust me?" or "When have I ever been wrong about something like this?" Something that's kind of ironic like that because even though the answer to both of those things should be "No," and "often" respectively, the way he sees himself doesn't exactly line up with how other people see him.
what's ur favorite thing about them? He's just a really interesting character to me. He definitely has a lot of different layers to him, and that's always made him really fun to write about.
do they represent anything for you/mean anything special? He's one of my oldest characters so there's kind of this I guess, sentimental attachment. He's kind of what I consider to be my first good character.
how similar/different are you compared 2 them? If I were to rank all my characters from most to least like me, he'd probably be somewhere near the bottom. Other than our age and how much we love our pets we don't have a ton in common.
Would you personally like them if they were a real person? would u get along? I feel like we'd get along in the moment, but I'd look back on it and go "Wow that guy was actually kind of an asshole." That's kind of how most interactions with Milo tend to go.

I'm glad you like him! 3:-) I added to my post.

@I-make-stuff

Chelsea Porter; 14 (at the start of the series); the protagonist
Chelsea is heavily based on my own experiences at school and is a modified, perhaps more extroverted version of me.
Changes I've made: I had to exaggerate a lot of her flaws in terms of impatience or difficulty with planning ahead so she would really struggle to overcome them.
She has a pet armadillo named Arlo, who is anthropomorphic and bipedal (but doesn't speak) who is a therapist to a depressed evil scientist.
The best theme song to capture her spirit is probably the Gravity Falls theme song. Adventure, mystery, excitement, and the unstressed but forward-driven vibes are great. If you want a song with lyrics, I'm trying to find one that has a balance with lyrics that are similar to her personality and mindset as well as an instrumental setup that is similar to her own taste in music.
She does not have a catchphrase but says "eh?" all the time because her mom is Canadian, and it rubbed off on her. If I had to pick a quote to describe her, however, it would be this:
Adventure isn’t hanging on a rope off the side of a mountain. Adventure is an attitude that we must apply to the day to day obstacles in life. - John Amatt
I really like her determined and optimistic worldview. I've roleplayed situations in which she was an inch from death, hurtling through the multiverse, but she still was calm and had this incredible faith that everything would be okay and she didn't need to worry, just keep a clear mind and keep going. That's the kind of person I want to be.
She represents the chaotic, childlike imagination that is absolutely unstoppable. She's the spirit of adventure and the unrelenting creative energy unleashed.
We're quite similar, however as aforementioned, she is more extroverted due to the medium that I would like to use to tell this story (I'd love to have an animated tele/webseries)
We would get along! Also, I would get to go on adventures through the multiverse with her, which would be absolutely amazing.
She loves dad jokes, as long as they're not made by her biological father. But honestly, she's way more annoying than her dad in terms of who makes more puns.

@jupiter-sun-of-sweater-town group

I'm honestly really proud of Adeline. I've been wanting to do a Victorian-setting story for a while now, and she's my protagonist.
Name: Adeline Cordelia Davies
Age: 17 at start of duology
Inspiration: Honestly, I just love the Victorian aesthetic and wanted to have an excuse to research it.
Changes: She has become more feminine in some aspects and more tough/masculine in others. She also doesn't end up with her best friend like I originally intended. PLATONIC MALE-FEMALE FRIENDSHIPS FTW
Fun fact / trivia: Her first name is a deviation of her mother's, Adelia, who died giving birth to her.
Theme song: She doesn't really have one, but if I had to choose, it'd probably be either "Confident" by Demi Lovato or "Woman Up" by Meghan Trainor.
Catchphrase: She doesn't have one, but this quote from Etiquette & Espionage reminds me of her: "It's one thing to learn to curtsy properly. It's quite another to learn to curtsy and throw a knife at the same time."
Favorite thing about them: Honestly, I love the tough-but-feminine character concept. Why can't I kick butt and wear a fluffy dress?
Special meaning 2 me: Basically what I just said above.
Similarities to me: We both always want the last word and can sometimes speak without thinking.
Would we get along: idk, probably
Anything else: I just really like her reaction to when her best friend kisses her. She screams "YOU LITTLE RAT" and slaps him in the face. Soooo…yeah. That's Adeline.

@Mojack group

Here’s one of my more minor characters, but I made sure to give her some traits and everything for the small amount of time that she is shown in the book.

who are they? (name/age/overview/etc.)
Trouble. Named by the protagonist, the unnamed main character (which I’ll be talking about some time) after he tracked her down. Trouble brings trouble with herself, be it her own self causing the trouble or something following her along and causing the trouble. Or both. Unsure about age, she’s an (currently unnamed species) animal, so I’d suspect 9 years old since the basis for her species was a lemur (which generally have lifespans of 16-19 years old) and I’d pit her as being a younger member of her kind.

what/who inspired you 2 create them?
I’m actually not sure! She was more of something I thought of while writing the latest chapter for my story..little animal steals food from human, a trope I’ve seen in a few places already. I’d originally intended for her to only make one appearance, but I suppose I can give Trouble some further appearances in her story! Inspirations for her and her species overall include; lemurs, monkeys, cats, parrots.

how much have they changed since u first made them, if at all?
She’s a new character..only a few hours old lol. Not by much, minus her purpose for the story- her having only one appearance was changed to multiple further on for the story.

what's a fun fact or piece of trivia?
Trouble is considered an Abnormal of her species due to her white fur - most members have grey or brown fur instead. This is a feature seen among various animals of the island, however; and Trouble is not outcasted for it by any means.

do they have a theme song or a playlist?
Not yet.

do they have a catchphrase? what would it be if not?
She’s incapable of speech, but if she did have one..probably a really drawn out “Uh oh,”

what's ur favorite thing about them? (could be their name/backstory/powers/personality/etc.)
I like her simplicity! She’s a more simple character compared to my other ones. It’s easier for me to decide what I want to do with her, plus she’s an easier character to draw as well.

do they represent anything for you/mean anything special?
Still trying to figure this one out!

how similar/different are you compared 2 them?
Pretty different! I don’t think I could ever look like this character lol. She’s too small. Personality wise, kinda different. I think us being both perceptive of our surroundings are definitely similar, though. Trouble’s a lot more bold than I am. Kinda similar in our ways of knowing when to be serious, though. Trouble knows when to not be troublesome.

would you personally like them if they were a real person? would u get along?
If Trouble was real…
I’d imagine she’d be cute, minus the whole razor sharp teeth thing. She wouldn’t be a pet either, doesn’t like the indoors. I’d imagine she’d be an annoyance, sometimes, but generally likeable! I could see us getting along.

anything else you want 2 include!
As of writing this, she’s my newest character.

@ccb37 oh tysm!! i just think its neat :)

@Starfast thank u for sharing him! i think its so cool how old of a character he is n his personality transformation sounds so interesting!! i also rlly love that you chose to share a more secondary character in ur story :) i feel like sometimes side characters don't get the love they deserve

@SupernaturalSyGuy yes of course! and i saw :) love 2 see it!

@I-make-stuff wow!! she sounds super interesting! i love how dynamic of a character she sounds n how special she is 2 u :) n her pet armadillo omg!! :))

@dropsofjupiterin_herhair !!! i love her character description; powerful feminine characters r underappreciated n i think the victorian setting makes it 10x cooler!! :) n yes for the platonic friendships there needs 2 be more of them…especially in like mainstream YA media imo ><

@Mojack i love trouble!! i think thats such a cute character idea n concept :) trouble is a good name for her 2 !!

@minowaa emoji_events

Haven't published any of my characters yet, but here's my favorite
Who are they?
A lesser deity known as Onawa Mino. Her physical appearance is around 20 years, but true age is unknown. She's a gatekeeper who (to put it bluntly) kills all reincarnated visitors.
What/who inspired you to create them?
Hmm… not sure really. I've always liked the concept of an overpowered character whose strengths aren't useful in solving the story's conflict. Her very first character draft was used for an isekai RP .
How much have they changed since you first made that, if at all?
Note: Not including the first character draft
Oh geez. Well, her appearance hasn't changed much. She was originally a villager from a certain secluded village who eventually served as a guide for roleplayers. That morphed into an outcast from a certain secluded village whose purpose was to hinder the roleplayers in their adventure. At first, she didn't have any magic aside from the reality manipulation that all characters (NPCs included) would eventually possess but currently has an ability that allows her to bind/seal concepts into inanimate objects.
What's a fun fact or piece of trivia?
She possesses the 100 Blooming Flowers weapon series which are often used in killing the reincarnated visitors . Yes, I went all out and created 100 weapons.
Ref: Mao's "let a hundred flowers bloom" quote
Do they have a theme song or playlist?
Probably something by Kevin Penkin. Tower of God has a few good songs but the official soundtrack hasn't come out yet so you'll have to deal with low quality audio.
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2-mNVLEHEA
What's your favorite thing about them?
I've always had a fascination with overpowered characters and their connections with other people and the environment around them. I haven't been able to RP as any though, because of power limits.
Would you personally like them if they were a real person? Would you get along?
Nope, not at all. I'd be terrified, honestly. Onawa seems really intimidating to many people with her height (167 cm) and the sheer power she possesses. Not my cup of tea. Probably end up idolizing and becoming one of her many followers though.

@Leshierian

who are they? (name/age/overview/etc.)
Chester, around 14 or so earth years. usually he/him pronouns.
He's the sarcastic, depressed, loner with a bleak outlook on life. not only is he disappointed in the world he lives in but he can't even feel comfortable in his own body, in his production he was defective, his body wouldn't take the modifications. so now he's stuck with the strange uncomfortable organic pleasure organs, he is repulsed by. he spends all his time in the room connected to his mind, where anything he could imagine is.

what/who inspired you 2 create them?
Eh, there was some person at the fair in a black hoodie who had chin length lavender hair, at that same fair there was this guy who just looked at everything so analytically with his hands together in a triangular shape fingers intertwined at the top. and I thought 'what if these two were friends?' and that is how Chester and his lavender hair came to be… and his strange, awkward but smart "friend" Lincoln… kinda weird…

how much have they changed since u first made them, if at all?
Well, first he was more anxious than depressed. but then he just kept getting more and more depressed as time went on. also at one point he had voices in his head, personalities.(Realistic fiction) but later he was part of an apocalyptic story. now he's part of sci-fi slice of life story, he is also now hurting constantly from his manufacturing malfunction.

what's a fun fact or piece of trivia?
He has a huge marble collection.. also he spends all his time in the room connected to his mind, most of the general population have theirs locked, its said to be dangerous to spend too much time in there.

do they have a theme song or a playlist?
If you want to get a feel for his character.
Cotton candy by McCafferty
Mary Z by McCafferty (though after 2:20 in the song it stops being his song.)
Pretty much just McCafferty, but especially the feeling of the album Yarn.

do they have a catchphrase? what would it be if not?
This Chester comes with five cool phrases, which include.
"No…"
"Do I look like I care?"
"Leave me alone"
" Don't touch me"
And saying nothing at all!…

what's ur favorite thing about them? (could be their name/backstory/powers/personality/etc.)
His favorite thing about himself is his hair. My favorite thing about him is Probably his slightly sarcastic has already given up on life way of talking and thinking and living. like he knows his life is a joke and has probably gone on too long, He knows he won't be getting any correction surgeries for at least a couple years, he knows he hasn't and probably won't do anything with his life. he knows how worthless he is. and he references it as much as possible.

do they represent anything for you/mean anything special?
He's actually a metaphor for gender dysphoria. How he was manufactured and the fact he can't change it till he's old enough. and how he hates it. how it's seen as attractive to certain groups of people. how he can't handle living without bandaging it up (the parts left, he's not human, the parts is in his chest).

how similar/different are you compared 2 them?
He is pretty much me when I was thirteen/fourteen. He sits all day in a room in his basement, so did I. He thought about death, so did I. he didn't have any friends, neither did I.

would you personally like them if they were a real person? would u get along?
I'm too socially anxious and neither of us would try hard enough to become friends with each other. though if we were forced to talk to each other we'd probably not get much past introducing ourselves.

anything else you want 2 include!
He's never met someone who is unmodified, he's afraid they can tell he still has that part. he also doesn't really know how they act when stimulated. There is one person from where he lives who has the same malfunction as him, but they seem better adjusted than he, also they kinda like their parts, and since Chester is the only one with the same, the person kinda wishes Chester liked his, but they don't push him…
