Here's a tip for character design. :3
3 years ago
Saying that your character dislikes things like "rudeness", or "liars", or "ignorance", or other such things does not make for compelling or interesting characters, because those are things that are almost universally disliked. Think outside the box. Examples from my own character bios could be things like "power outages", or "scary movies", or "debates and arguments". :3

ohh
Hmmm so your point is puting rudeness", or "liars", or "ignorance", is not going get ppl inerested in characters?

More or less yeah :3 I am one of those people that when I see reference sheets I like reading the bios. I'm often disappointed when I see dislikes such as that, because they don't really say a whole lot about the character beyond that they're not edgy.

Wow, so you saying if you see that stuff on bio you will think that character is not inerested?

What I'm saying is that such things don't really say anything about the character. The bio is there to interest you in the character's personality, and such dislikes fail to tell the viewer anything in particular about the character. It'd be like putting under the likes panel that the character likes "indoor plumbing" or "living in a home". These things generally wouldn't tell you much about the character either, as generally speaking, most people would prefer to have indoor plumbing and a home than would not. Now, say the character had a traumatic experience being lost in the woods for months on end... THAT would be a valid reason to have such things under likes. But on the other hand, such things would often be under the bio description, making putting it in the likes panel redundant as it can already be assumed that they'd appreciate such things more than the average person.

I'm growing tired of this discussion, and I don't appreciate you accusing me of such things. Never once did I say I don't want people interested in characters, and you suggesting I said that makes me question your reading comprehension. This journal was meant to inspire out of the box thinking, and you're just looking for problems where they don't exist. Jesus.
