Vitcon in general Q&A

Oh, I normally start by thinking of their role in the story or game. For example, I made Layor because I wanted a refugee princess that was on the run to join the party. I also added in a character like Darkus to act as a tutorial guide for the players.

When I make my player characters, it's usually either trying to fill in party roles or creating a character that is flexible in story so I can adapt them to whatever situation I need.

I remember a wise dragon once told me. Characters are a part of you, and that each contains a little part of you. All my characters in a sense represent me in some way. Personality, quirks, behaviors, most of them especially the ones I use in LK, Dating game are more or less a part of me.

I tend to use sword welders because for some reason I always tend to prefer swords over every type of weapons. I think manly because I love RPGs and the like and when ever I get a choice of weapons in a game swords just seem funner if that's a word

When I am just making a character for a non serouis reason I either go laid back baddass who dosent like to do much but can if they have too. Overly friendly social butterfly,

I just cry a lot.

I'm not really good at creating characters, so what I do is I make the start really simple and just think of characters in games and movies and other stuff that I genuinely enjoy. I really try to focus on the unique, interesting traits that characters have and think about why those traits make that character so memorable/appealing to the audience. Once I can comprehend some form of recent logic behind it, I try to work backwards and create unique characteristics for a character... although it usually ends up being pretty close to a common archetype. Once I've generated enough building blocks for a character, everything else pretty much falls into place, depending on the creativity basis. But, uh... I usually think my characters aren't all that great, so I take every chance I can get to use non-original characters like Kirby and Dante. Ever wonder why I always do profile stuff like AwkwardAkuma but never try stuff like AwkwardKick or AwkwardTab? Actually, it's just cause Akuma's rad.

I honestly have no idea... I don't see any pattern in my character to be honest.

For Snorx, I started with his job as a human.
For Zack, I started with the abilities I wanted him to have.
For Julia, I just wanted to use a character I created before but stopped using.
For Balynka, I started with how she looked like.
For Yzza, I started with her backstory.
and so one.

I know the first question I always ask myself is: "What kind of character didn't I do yet?"

And that question is how I ended up making Tulip loyal good, or play as a literally insane character (Kendra).

Favorite weapons are ball'n'chains, harpoons and double-bladed axes.

For LARPING, I prefer hammers though.

My favorite weapons are definitely spears. The range of a staff, the sharpness of a knife, and a sort of primal simplicity.

I like guns, swords, bows, and just unique weapons are cool.

For creating characters, I usually think of who I want to start as and how I want them to grow and who they'll become. I sometimes go for a theme(Tai, It'll be apparent later), and sometimes will just do whatever I feel like(My Verse Characters).
