| Ashley's Character Tips:: | Alrighty, tips on creating characters. It's actually not that hard and personally, I love doing it. It's one of my addictions. As you probably have seen my list of charries I play. I know, I know, get a life! lolz, I know you were thinking it. But yeah, on to creating.
xx...Okay, first pick a face. Whether it be a male or female, it doesn't matter. I have a wide variety of male and female characters. But when picking a face, you want to choose one that you can portray with the character you have in mind. Majority of the time it is to portray yourself. With me, my first charry was to portray my ego, ha ha. And as time went on it was to create my imagination.
xx...Some like to be different and choose rare faces. I know I do. But when the face fits the character in mind you can't help it. So once you have thought of the personality think of a background. Sometimes the history of a charry comes before the personality. Everybody works differently.
xx...Now a name. Choose and name and a last name. Or if you're like me, a middle name as well. I also like the unique, rare names. But sometimes a regular names fits fine. Also, you might create a sister of an already known charry. Just make sure it is alright. Or if it a celebrity, try and make it realistic [unless it is like the McMahon family. Those vary] You can go to google or yahoo and look up baby names if you are stuck.
xx...Now all you have to do is get a banner and layout made. Also look for pictures. That is another thing. Pictures for some people are hard to find. Like Adam Jones *grrr* but we make do.
xx...Remember, your charry's history and background isn't in stone. It will change and grow.
xx...Have fun! This is all for fun.
Now look down below and see what the duck has to quack! | | Jeff's Character Tips:: | (x) Be unique when picking a face. There are a million Trish Stratus girls out there and a million Randy Orton guys out there. Or even now- a Million McMahons (cause Vince is a busy dude). Try to set yourself apart, It's about presentation of the character.
(x) Pulling a character out of your thought bubbles is easy. But make sure you are comfortable with them. Have a feel for your character- make it like they're a part of you. Give em personality: The wild, crazy, down to earth, calm, sad, emo, rocker, glam, whatever side of you. They are who you want them to be so have fun developing them.
(x) Know them. Know your character enough not to make them boring. Nothing's worse than creating a character but having nothing for them. Yes, they exist. But why? What purpose do they have? You gotta give em life and help them grow- after all, they are your brain child. |
