9. How do you get ideas for your char\u00adac\u00adters? Describe the process of cre\u00adat\u00ading them.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/b>Is this a legit question? I guess there are writers who literally sit down to draw out every detail of ever character, but for me I just bust them out. When I know a new character is coming in, I don’t think about them, I just let them come in and do their thing. Sometimes the appearance is inspired by a real life person or rendering I see, and sometimes I freely admit I make a character that I just find attractive. (These are usually minor, fluff characters though.) The only characters I may sit and plan out extensively ahead of time are antagonists, as I usually need them to be a very specific type of entity – plus, let’s face it, antagonists are a lot harder to make original and not so cliche.<\/p>\n
As for their personalities, I literally discover things about characters as I write them. I found out that one of my characters apparently really loves black because it’s most of her wardrobe (and no, she’s not emo or goth, it’s just how it worked out\/it looks best on her), another character hates cherries, and of course, another character wasn’t supposed to exist at all, but she showed up in a scene one day and basically told me, “Biyatch, I’m one of your main antagonists now. Have fun.”<\/p>\n
So there is no “process” to writing my characters. They just kinda exist and I work from there. That’s how it goes, yo. I’m sorry it’s not more fascinating than that…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
