User blog:Beanie623/How to make a good character

Hey-oh! Beanie623 with a simple 5 step guide on how to make excellent, original characters. This will help if you want to make a character, but don't know where to start.

1) Make a character concept. A character concept is basically a brief description of the person's personality. Are they shy or outgoing? Crazy or "normal" (I say "normal" in quotation marks, because, in my opinion, there is no such thing as "normal" people)?

2) Now decide on what species you would like your character to be. It can be anything! It can be a cat, or if you want a unique character, you can make it a dragon!

3) Next, decide on their powers! This is the fun part! Here's a short list of some powers that would be interesting. 4) Draw your character (it's OKAY to use a base). Try to base it off the character concept. For example, if your character is the crazy, wild type, maybe have them wear ripped jeans, fingerless gloves and streaks of colour in their hair.
 * Electrokenisis (the power of electricity-might go well with explosive characters?)
 * Invisibility (Could go perfectly with shy characters!)
 * Energy sourcing (Ability to draw power from abundant sources of energy, such as turning kinetic energy into physical blasts)
 * Mimicry (shape-shifting)

5) Now for the storyline! This is the most important part, because it's what weaves everything together. If your character has a dark personality, maybe they've gone through so much in life that they eventually went mad!

I hope this helps, peeps! If it doesn't, um...oh well. Bye, bye!
