Trying again - community character design!
8 years ago
Commissions are OPEN
If you are interested in commissioning me, come drop me a line! Let's see what we can make together! https://forms.gle/rWtK2fLXYUkNzPvo8 Okay, for some reason, editing a journal multiple times locks the comments? So I'm just reposting this and trying again. Also, people were still creating characters when literally all I'm asking is for y'all to just list your favourites in these categories. This is literally the same thing I got the first time I tried this last year so I guess it's my fault for expecting that people would read GIANT BOLD RED LETTERS but whatever.
SO LETS TRY THIS AGAIN
WHAT I WANT
Character traits. By this I mean give me NOTHING MORE than a list of your favourites of these categories, and please give multiples! I want to know ALL of your favourites! Don't worry about posting a species/personality/job someone else has already posted, because I'll be compiling all of this at the end!
- Species (no hybrids)
- Body type
- Personality (please no MBTI abbreviations, I don't want to have to read Psychology Today just for a character bio)
- Piercings/tattoos, yes or no and NOTHING ELSE, JUST YES OR NO
- Job
GIVE ME YOUR RESPONSE IN A BULLETED LIST FORMAT.
Example:
Species: goat, tiger, hyena
Body type: muscular, swimmers build
Personality: shy, sarcastic
Piercings/tattoos: yes/yes
Job: barista, librarian
WHAT I DO NOT WANT
Example 1: A full character description, i.e., "A sarcastic bull who works as a barista and lifts weights in his spare time".
Example 2: a bulleted full character description, i.e.,
- bull
- muscular because he loves to work out
- sarcastic and loves to sass customers
- barista, but wants to be a teacher
- no piercings because his boss sucks, but has an anchor on his shoulder that he hides with his sleeve
DO NOT GIVE ME THAT. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT
IF YOU GIVE ME A FULL CHARACTER DESCRIPTION LIKE THIS, YOUR COMMENT WILL BE HIDDEN AND YOUR IDEA IGNORED. DO NOT GIVE ME A BULLETED FULL CHARACTER DESCRIPTION OR SO HELP ME.
FINAL REMINDER - JUST GIVE ME LISTS. I SEE A LOT OF CHARACTER BIOS AND I SPECIFICALLY STATED MULTIPLE TIMES EXPLICITLY THAT I DO NOT WANT THAT. I'M COMPILING ALL OF THIS IN A GOOGLE DOC AFTERWARD SO KEEP IT SIMPLE AND JUST LIST YOUR FAVOURITES.
I literally cannot be clearer about just asking y'all to just list your favourites. Just list. Do not design, just list. In the case of piercings or tattoos, just yes or no. That's it. It's that easy. I tried this a year ago and not a single person listed shit they liked and had to abandon the project because everyone forgot how to fucking read. Don't make me abandon it again, please.
