Themes

Anything that fits into either Revolving Door or Nocturna universes is appreciated. For the vaguer boards with no attire references, feel free to make something up or ask for more details.

• Nocturna: Any character related to death mythology, demonology, ritual magic, astronomy, divination and superstition
  • I'm not particular about appearance since this is a very broad prompt, refer to general appearance preferences for more
  • One pointer: if the character is based on a real mythological figure/demon, do incorporate features that they are described to have (e.g. horns, wings, animal features) in the design
  • Prefer characters with a clear theme or gimmick
  • Particularly looking for demons, occultists and diviners
• Wonderland: Clockworkpunk fantasy, Elizabethan, Baroque, playing card motifs (only one suit on any given character)
  • Nobles, courtiers and scientists make up most of the major characters from this world, but working class people are also good
  • Most of them have the ability to transform into an animal or an object
• World War 2: Realistic, particularly interested in characters in the military (combatants, strategists, codebreakers, engineers)
• Great Race: Solarpunk, Steampunk, Victorian, possibly someone involved in business, merchantry and/or travel
• 20 Minutes in the Future / Havaiki: Slightly futuristic, still recognisable as our world
  • 20 Minutes world: Preferably a character who lives in San Francisco or Hong Kong, but any major science/tech centre is good
  • Havaiki: I prefer a character with a non-European background
  • Centred on ordinary settings: schools, cafes, hospitals, malls, neighbourhoods, and the people who frequent these places
  • I prefer practical and realistic designs for these

If not for one of my projects, I like

• Historical characters
• -punk genre (Steampunk, Dieselpunk, Clockworkpunk, Solarpunk) characters
• Nobility, wealthy characters, individuals involved in politics
• Travellers, pilots of aircraft, vessels and vehicles, workers of delivery jobs
• Characters associated with death and the occult
• Characters with occupations involving combat

I will probably end up trying to fit them into one of my projects in the end, though.

Appearance

I like:

• Belts and straps
• Metal pieces, buckles, studs, buttons, badges, medals
• Billowy parts: Coats, cloaks, capes, dresses, long hair
• Boots
• Long socks
• Military attire, both ceremonial and combat, regardless of era
• Ornamentation that holds symbolic significance
• Attire that makes sense and can be made IRL, practical and befitting of the character
• Clear theming: a specific interest, a mascot animal, power that makes use of specific kinds of objects/concepts etc.

I would prefer them not to have:

• Physically impossible features if the character is a physical being
• Neon colours, except for highlights

General notes

• Realism is not as important for Nocturna and Wonderland characters
• No gender preferences
• Only if you have the time: I appreciate when a character is well-researched
• I'd rather they not be sexualised
