- he/soul/they
I love my characters more than myself.
Very catchy title, I know. Choose one of your characters, it doesn't have to be your main or favourite, and answer! I tried to get into the nitty gritty with most of these, but interpret them however you want, of course. They're mostly to do with the creative process.
Feel free to repost these questions yourself, or answer/discuss in the comments. (no credit needed, but it'd be appreciated!)
-
Why did you create this character or if you bought them/a design, what drew you to them? Any particular reason, if you remember? What motivated or inspired you, or what about them made you go, 'I want to have/buy/trade for them'?
-
If you designed them yourself, even a bit or partially, does or did the resulting design or idea match your initial vision? Do you think since you made them, if they have changed, that they've changed and developed for the better, or worse? (this can be a 'creative process' answer or in the context of their actual lore/story, if applicable)
-
What's the absolute best change you've made in your opinion, and something you're still working out or want to improve on/change about them? This can be about anything.
-
When did you create this character, if you can remember? Did anything significant happen around this time?
-
If something significant did happen, did that have anything to do with or influence their creation? Was it positive? Negative? Neutral?
-
What traits, as a character, do you share with them as their creator, be it fully or partially or traits you developed for them if they were say, a purchased design?
-
Are these shared traits deliberate, or did you sort of project slightly, and then slam your foot on the gas without meaning to? Or did you go the opposite route, and make them nothing like you for a good reason?
-
What's a funny meme or joke that always makes you think of them, and why?
-
Do you think you and your character would get along in real life? Why? Why not? Would you want to meet them?
-
Talk about your favourite thing about your character, just ever. Maybe it's a personality trait, or design aspect, or a defining moment in their story... Go wild!
