#Character Question

[matcha-bnuuy]

Been thinking about this due to various character runs of mine, how some are more adept healers or casters etc etc.. due to leaning aspects or alteration due to story events, what about you guys? Do they level out or have a permanent lean? 🤔

Edit: LOVING seeing all the wol lore in the tags! So cool! It's all so unique i didnt expect so many different answers but it's a very welcome surprise! So sorry i didn't think to add an 'other' option for more than 1 high aspect but i'm glad the footnotes are being added! It's great to read! Thanks for sharing your wol lore everyone!!! 🥹

What's your character's red flag, green flag, and beige flag?

Something I noticed in episode 384 is that this scene;

Might of been foreshadowing the appearance of Soshi Okita, who also shares the same face as Shinichi.

I don't think so as Okita had already made an appearance in Conan prior to this point, being referenced in Episode 263. Episode 384 is just an anime original, so I don't think the staff meant anything specific by it.

Let’s play a game. We’re going to be super mean to our characters today, alright? The first bit of meanness is this… Some eye opening character questions?

What was the last small lie they told? What was the last big one? Does your main character lie a lot?

What is their biggest fear? Is it a phobia, or a fear of a certain situation?

Who is their least favorite person and why? Is it someone that they pretend to like?

new OC prompt/question blog!

I've been going through the OC prompt tags a lot lately and I've decided I want to give as much as I take.

Please follow this blog for OC questions, prompts and other resources to help you get to know your characters! (and please reblog so my posts can find some writers/artists who love to talk about their characters)

‘No,’ I say slowly, toying with the idea even as I answer. Were there times when I would’ve liked a shorter name? Of course – especially when I was younger and learning to write my full name. There was a kid in my class called Bob, and I was jealous that he had it easy.

But, honestly I like my name. I still don’t get how “Sly” comes from it, but I like it.

‘I don’t think I would change it,’ I continue, feeling an odd kind of relief at the realisation.

‘I never really joined,’ Hal admitted with a slight shrug, his fingers dancing around the edge of the cap that he had in his lap. He was careful not to touch the razor’s edges, but needed to reassure himself they were still there. ‘Me and John go way back. The Shelbys were like my family from when I was a kid. There was no joining the Blinders, not really. I was always just kind of one. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.’

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don’t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.

okay i have a question: how many characters are considered too many characters in a comic? context: I would like to start making a comic, I've started making characters for said comic, and I need to know how big I should make this cast. I LOVE making new characters, so sometimes I go a bit overboard- ty in advance!

What sort of entertainment does you character like?

Was it ever explained why Haibara goes back to calling Ayumi-chan Yoshida-San? Feel like it’s such a step back in her character :( I’m still on episode 840 but I’ve been confused about it for a while and wonder if I missed something

As far as I recall, the character development was Haibara allowing Ayumi and only Ayumi to call her "Ai-chan", and that part has stuck.

According to the DCW Wiki at least, Haibara has only called Ayumi "Ayumi-chan" twice: once in episode 140 and the other in OVA 11. Both are non-canon instances. So as far as I know, "Yoshida-san" is the way Haibara refers to Ayumi the most throughout the series.

Theme challenge! 

Your characters encounter a classic horror movie monster! If your story already involves one of these, pick a different monster for this hypothetical. 

What monster do they run into? How do they act? 

You can use this as a character question, a chance to ramble, or a writing prompt. Just have fun!
