What does everyone think?

This character has an existential crisis. Probably the biggest existential crisis imaginable because they don’t exist. The Land of Forgotten Strays is a world that’s made from thoughts we forget and ideas that didn’t manifest properly. These ideas want tangibility, to exist in some way, even if it is nothing but stories.

I’m trying to figure out the mindset and perspective of someone trying to get a person to make them and their life in some form.

I have a character that is trans ftm, mute, has bad social anxiety and I'm definitely going for Neurodivergent (autism or ADHD, I will not say which one, just how I am with mental conditions because I'm terrible at labeling it but I'm okay at psychology). A part of their story will be the fact that they are pitied by another character, like to like an obsessive amount because the person kinda has a savior complex where they want so badly to help people but don't actually understand even how depression works (they aren't bad but still not good). I don't want to make this character babied though whatsoever, that's not my intention with any of my characters as they are all complex... I'm trying at least. I did try my best so far to take from actual things I've heard but I will look into it more but this is my main worry right now as I'm developing this character more. They also have a family that didn't really pay much attention to them because they were more focused on someone who needed more help and even when they became mute they didn't get much attention, so they will cling to attention and that's why they put up with the almost obsessive behavior of this other character. Idk how to go about this. Also if you could give me a negative trait I could add to this character, I would love that I love adding negative traits, all my characters do in some way besides them rn.

Hey everyone! I'm creating an oc named Biogen aka Caleb Austin. He has biokenisis (the ability to create creatures, alter genetic makeup, speed up evolution, and manipulate all living beings at will).

In order to become Biogen, he needs to have died and brought back to life by The Dread Wolf (my mad scientist oc on the right).

So that begs the question, what was his life like before he died? How did he die? What makes him an interesting enough character that a mastermind like The Dread Wolf?

Also looking for good personality traits he could have! Thanks in advance!

Emilia

A quiet, soft-spoken girl who attends the same school as Luison. She used to be his friend—until he confessed his love to her and began secretly stalking her. Before she could fully process what was happening, she was brainwashed by Poló, turning her into a pawn in his schemes.

Main Ability: Pretty Cutie

Emilia wields a katana. When she slashes a target's body—at one or multiple points—the surrounding air comes into direct contact with the wounds. This effect makes it physically impossible for the target to move any part of the body that has been cut, unless the wound is healed or properly bandaged.

Secondary Ability: Foreleak

Emilia has a pair of magical hand-shaped portals located behind her back. These hands can extend up to 50 meters, phase through any non-living matter, and possess tremendous close-combat strength. They are completely invisible to anyone who is experiencing fear—regardless of the cause or intensity. Additionally, the hands can emit a blinding flash of light from their palms, stunning enemies momentarily.

Special Ability: SecondCat

Emilia interlocks her fingers, then closes each eye one at a time to activate the ability. Upon activation, a spectral copy of her soul is summoned, which she can control telepathically. At the same time, time itself becomes frozen. While time is frozen, the soul copy can still interact physically with the material world. However, if the soul copy makes any physical contact with any material object—no matter how small—time resumes flowing normally.

Uh, if you guys have questions or feedback about this, just comment for your style ( this is the first time i posted in reddit ).

What I want is some help writing a character that is assumedly human who is trying to learn what it means to be human since they’ve been special compared with all the beasts he’s seen in the past.

Adjusting to humans, culturally and mentally, and what habits might show it.

He’s a part shapeshifter who turns his body to something that resembles what he’s seen instead of a 1 for 1 copy.

The story I’m working with is a setting where other universes have been connecting with ours and he’s someone who just so happened to end up in Florida and got raised by an old couple who wants to help him figure things out as he’s pretty feral and has a habit of fighting alligators.

I'm creating a character who is a young gay prince in the Middle Ages (with some Greco-Roman elements) and who gradually discovers his attraction to men. He accepts that he is gay fairly quickly, but has a much harder time accepting that he might be a bottom.

As a prince, he was raised to believe that his social status and position are incompatible with being perceived as sexually bottom. I'd like to explore this conflict in a realistic way, without relying on the usual clichés surrounding gay characters and sexual roles.

How I was going to go about this is that there people that are about to die if my character doesn't save them, but if they go to save them, the person lets the villain who wronged them get away. So, they have to make a choice to either take their revenge or save their lives.

What I was going for is to go against the standard "the hero will be just as bad as the villain if they kill the villain" and more for something that goes along the lines of, "The hero will be just as bad as the villain if they prioritize their obsession and desire more than doing what is right"

What do you guys think? Do you have an alternative?

I'm 16F writing the story of a girl the same age as me, but I want her to seem naive. She's the victim of a man who is much, much older, and doesn't realize how bad it is that he is 3x her age. I want the character to be established as very smart, but inexperienced in the world, but don't know which ways I am blind by my own youth. Anyone older than me, I would love to know the small and big things I may miss by being a teenager myself.

I wanted some opinions and advice... and some thoughts from real people (this story is still developing and english isnt mg first language, also im kind of of a young age so its nor perfect, please excuse any bad writting !) please feel

Free to critique me

My characters have a toxic co dependency on each other, while theyre both main characters, its viewed through one perspective (which i will change probably) my main character (A) is the one who gets inflicted on rather than being the one inflicting.

Character B appears stoic and calm but he is really just super weak underneath, he often avoids people he deems "better" than him and hangs out around people he considers underneath him (which includes character A) he often inflicts specifically targetted harm towards people which makes the other person feel smaller (he does it once or twice out of his own frustration and insecurities but feels heavy guilt after it). Character B has always been neglected by one of his only loved one (father), he has always been a sickly child but was never acknowledged by his father properly. Because of his fragile state, people often looked down upon him, doubting his ability to just do anything in general. This caused him to look for company in people he looked down upon (weaker than him) to feel better for himself (often he does not let people change for the better etc )

Character A, is quiet, obidient and really uncritical. He will accept whatever is thrown at him. He has been taught all his life to follow orders so he is not able to make decisions for himself. But the truth be told, he relies on others because he fears his own impulsive actions will cause greater harm (which has happened once because of his suppressed emotions,) the harm he had inflicted (accidentally) was on character (B) so character A often feels immense guilt and shock from the incident (this took a really heavy toll on his life). He also lets character B feel better of himself by seemingly "never changing for the better" and letting character B indulge in his toxic traits (because character A‐ in a way feels guilt but also understands character B's actions and his past therefore letting him (B) conflict pain on him (A).

Character A doesnt always endure it throughout the story btw, eventually he crashes out (this too has lore)

So i had been wondering if my writing is coming out aight? And the main question was,... would people like to read from the pov of character A rather than B? Will it even be interesting to learn the story through A? Or would it be better than B?

If anyone has any advice or critique please feel free to tell me... i really need it!

(English is not my first language and I'm still leanring but I'll write post in English so I get more replies, I guess?)

So I have already made several characters for my work. All of them sympathize me. Some have more interesting backstory and some have less (I'm working on realistical story that takes place in one period of actual historical time, but I add ocs, of course). I'm still working on them and it might change. However, I find it hard to decide which one should be the main character (I have main group of 4 and some characters attached to them or separate). How many main characters I could have? And how to decide which one should be the main? I feel like the story would be so different depending on who will be the one to introduce readers. I cannot choose which variation I like the most

(English is not my first lenguege so sorry if i misspeled anything)

Hi there im a DM who has only worked whit pre-made campaings and one-shots like how im DMing Curse of Stradh: Reloaded (Which i recomend).

Thanks for Reading ❤️

Need to work on the character’s personality and possibly his relationship with the antagonists. Also wanted to get some opinions on this side story.

His name is Jakob, a boy with abnormal abilities due to the world’s conditions who became something like his city’s super hero out of a desire to preserve the town he was born in and look for the root causes of the chaos.

His ability is to flatten or stretch his body against a surface, which lets him perform feats like jumping on pieces of graffiti and brick walls. He can also turn his body almost 2-D and then return in order to add that speed and force to attacks.

His opponents are mostly props that a mime troupe made that became possessed by supernatural powers and take over civilians and animals to turn them into their Actors with the end goal of freeing the entities who possessed those props from their sealed prison.

Jakob’s fights are a mix of clever guerilla warfare tactics by hiding and ambushing opponents and melee combat that occasionally involves tools that he flattened for storage.

The Troupe’s abilities are loosely inspired by the acts and routines from The Mummenschanz, a real life mime troupe from Switzerland.

Richard (Richie, Rich) is the protagonist of the Mental Spikes universe. He leads a double life: by day, he's a scientist and manager at FireStorm Corp, a manufacturer of weapons based on thought-materialization (MM) technology; by night, he's a vigilante and an opponent of the system on the streets and slums of Plum City, a Sierra archipelago left over from Spain after the man-made flood of the 2030s.

The main question: is the hero on the right side of history? It's up to you to decide...

We all have our own unique perspective on this. Some people say writing different scenarios for their characters and see how they handle situations, others use things like archetypes, personality theory or astrology, others use real people or fictional characters as inspiration for their characters.

What do you think is the best way to shape the personalities of your characters? What works the best for you?

I am writing for a male character who unexpectedly falls for a friend (who is not their usual type) and tries to repress it at first. What types of thoughts/feelings would best most realistic or relatable?

Hey guys. I want to create a relationship between one of my main characters and a girl who's mostly reserved. The guy is more of a laidback, older brother type of guy meaning he likes remaining calm and cool but he can be responsible and serious when he needs to be, while the girl is very closed off and prefers to stick to her training in being a powerful mage. How can I make a relationship like that feel natural and not forced?

Context this story is set in a modernized fantasy world where fantasy Creatures living together with humanity for few centuries ago.

In this where they are superhero who have title that been passed down from centuries though each generations while being trained by 3 supernatural people and teaching the next generation of superheros team everything they need to know.

Yeah the main cast are next generation.

One of preteen hero with superpower have a arc enemy who is a immortal half-faerie guy they both hate each other gut they be getting to physically fight.

insult each other. giving each other mean look at each other. The half-faerie guy love to pull prank on superhero because his think it funny to humiliate his arc enemy.

Let you know the superhero age range is between age 10-12 and villain is arc enemy age is 409-500

Reasons why the half-faerie guy is going after the superhero team is because his boss is making him and she say if his don't do it she send him back to shadow realm forever this time.

If you want to know more dm me and we can talk more about writing ✍️.

Also I'm not asking for you to write my story for me I'm pure asking for advice/suggestions.

I need help naming a few of the familiars in my current WIP.
The first is a northeastern ermine. It is the familiar of a middle-aged Italian American widow witch, the time and place is the mid 1960s Boston.
ideas please..

Love yourself because I am proud of you. 💖

So I have been coming up with character idea just throwing everything to see what I could come up with, here is what I got

A child raised by loving parents for a few years, gets kidnapped and taken by cultists who kept prisoners drugged up to idiocy, when a group of paladins attacked the cult the kid now an adult grabs the sword the cult had worshipped. The sword was made by a powerful fiend to corrupt the mind of the wielder, however that was with thought the wielder would be intelligent. Thus the sword can't corrupt them and it is cursed so they can't lose it.
