What are your trademark character archetypes?

-stupid cute boys

-shy cute boys

-cute boys

-cute happy pure angels with no character flaws

-seems edgy/mean but is actually nice and just doesnt like socializing

-has one (1) friend

-ugly androgynous furry girls that definitely arent a reflection of myself

-The Weird Ocs

-older independent female character with traumatic past

-or any combination of the above tropes

-copes with emotions/trauma/feelings through jokes

.........thats literally it that's my type 

I am super a sucker for (and often end up making):

1. aloof regal/divine ladies and those who worship them
2. ladies who can kill u (or will at least fite u; sometimes overlap with 1)
3. ladies in charge in general
4. sweet adventure girls
5. gay and A Mess
6. stoic/charming and princely bishounen
7. enormous nerds
8. soft and curvy moe girls (of legal age)
9. tricksters and shapeshifters, often androgynous and mysterious

There may or may not be some others, but I just did a quick flip-through and literally almost every one of my characters fits into at least one of those categories, so xD

• cute n handsome bois
• good at heart
• hella gay
• n e r d s
• the average millennial lmao

• My characters are usually about the same age I am at time of creation and age up in reuses. I don't really play kids under 16. A few older characters, particularly in my Mad Science tabletop game.
• Most of my characters tend to be obsessed with the mind. Therapists, psychologists, hypnotists, psychics etc.
• Character designs are always by either my wife or best friend as I do not draw, the number of images they have usually indicates how popular they are
• A good 90% of my characters are "therapy characters" and exemplify an undesirable part of my personality ramped up to high degrees for catharsis such as suicidal tendencies, unearthed rage/resentment, home sickness, guilt over abandoning family etc.
• Most characters are designed to be reactive, rather than leading they are there to entertain other characters in a game through the way they bounce off of others or situations. They are not driving characters by design
• Verbose

-complete jerks with no reason to be mean other than they just are Like That. Coughs, murderers, villains, crazies, yeh

-monstrous creature, either completely viscious, or a giant baby, both are great

-cloudcuckoolanders

-s p o o k y but very friendly

Uhhh i can’t think of any more atm o:

•lanky boys (trying to break away from this haha... (current solution: make some beefy bois))
•dorks who make terrible jokes/puns
•self-righteous af
•tall

like that's it. yep.

• Dads
  • Dads
  • DADS
  • Did I mention Dads?
• Big beef bois
• Cowboys
• Grumpy jerks who are good to their family and only their family
• Sass. Lots and lots of sass.
• Acts goofy to hide their real problems
• Scary appearance, soft and squishy inside
• Alternatively, hard and mean exterior, soft and squishy underneath
• Horrible, unforgivably bad characters (I enjoy writing complex villains)
• Military/ Former or Retired Military
• Soft, innocent cinnamon rolls that need to be protected from the world

Big intimidating characters who are actually pretty kind // 

MINE: Usually have psychosis, LGBTQ+, all of them love mermaid pillows and there is not a single exception

I LIKE: Emo dogs, blindfolded characters, "insane evil" types of characters (that big expressive laugh gets me, know what I'm talking about? Go look at Neon Toxin if not)

• Gays (and LGBTQ people in general)
• Pretty boys
• Anger issues
• Very tall people
• Alternative (emo) designs
• Creative people
• Short hair for both girls and boys

And that's all of my characters in a nutshell :)
