My name is SaiLoki and the first thing i want you to know is that everything i post here is purely an opinion. Anyone with thoughts or Ideas about makeing a good Character is welcomed to post here. So with that said, lets get down to Business.
How to make An Unique Character.
The Name.
We will start with The first thing everyone starts with, the name. The name can be the eaisist or the hardest to come up with, and it all depends on the character. Is it a boy or a girl? When was she born, what race. Take all of these options into consideration when deciding a name. a plain simple name will say a plain simple character, but if thats what your looking for, then thats what you need. And if your looking for a good name, and can not think of one, There are so many generators out there that its not funny. For fantasy or Sci-Fi, you may want something more complicated, but dont go overboard.
The Gender
This should be one of your eaisest decisions to make. Your either going to be a guy or a girl.
The Species/Race
This is where you need to decide on what race or species your character will be. Alien? Kat-person? Whatever it is, it can affect how the rest of the characater Bio will turn out. Just remember to make the name match your Race/Species.
The Age.
The age is important also. It will tell us how your character will be in a way. Age affects how people act, how they think, and what they do. Not everybody is the same, But some things are just common sense. Example: A 17 year old female will most likely be more interested in boys or makeup, unless something in her life has directed her away from that, in which we would need to know.
The Birthday.
Birthdays are important because it gives you a time table to work with. It puts you into the story of their life. Also it can help with the Personality.
The Astrological Sign and the Chinease Zodiac.
Haveing a birthday will tell you the astrological Sign and the chinease zodiac of your character. This is helpfull because you can use this to build your characters personality.
The Personality.
The Personality is one of the most important things there is to makeing a character bio. The personality gives us oomph to the character itself. It shows us a more in-depth detail about the person. It brings in character, heart and soul. Without a personality, well you have nothing. if you cant come up with one, look to the zodiac and the astrological signs to tell you about them. again, googling it, you will come up with so much. So give it a try, work somethign out, and get creative.
The Measurments.
The measurments are not a really important thing to have, But if you do give his information, it Gives us a better personall view of what your character looks like. Women are as such, 32-22-32, from left to right, Bust, waist, hips. the womens bust and hips should be the same with the waist 10 inches less giving an hourglass shape. it dont have to be that way, this is just an idelistic view, giveing us a view of your character. men are different, with their bust being the biggest.
Misc. Information
Misc. Information would be like hair color, eye color, weight, etc. The more information you give us, the better your character bio will be.
Biography.
The biography is what you will use to tell us some of the most important information on your character. It will fill in the holes that any of the other information did not give. You want to start your biography from there birth and give us a brief or very detailed history of the character. Remember, once again, the more detailed and the more information you give, the better your character will be, and also the more you will know how to use your character to the best potiential you can.
