Character Ideas

[Dineosoar]

So, Character ideas? For yourself and for the npcs!
Now, I didn't put this in suggestions for 2 reasons...
One, one of the questions is about your character. Now you could just be yourself, but considering you can have more than one character, you'll have room to make some OC's.
and
Two, Characters you suggest and I suggest will be a lot probably and in general, it wouldn't be all that neat if I was just like hey i came up with this how bout you. (Maybe I will make an npc suggestion thread after we get a bunch.)

On to the ideas!!!

As an NPC I think a cute character would be a female appearing semi-chunky who gets an upset stomach a lot so she's always sucking on a peppermint (stick or mint.) And a few quests for her could be related to that. Either you get her some peppermint leaves (Maybe she makes her own peppermint.) or you make her some/buy her some? I think it's cute and I've thought about the idea a bit here and there.

Appearance wise, maybe she could like look relative to the peppermint. So like really pale with tight curly/frizzy hair, the stereotypical "Ginger". I find that term offensive though :<

On OC's, I haven't thought much on it all actually. I figure I'll just do myself and make an equal version of me just more manlier looking??? I tend to make male characters in games, just by habit. (Even though I know there aren't really genders in PO, or at least they aren't "important" or however you want to phrase it.)

I totally plan to play a male character.

I'll probably also have a female for when I feel like actually being closer to myself, I suppose. That one would totally be a beekeeper of some sort in my head. Mm~


For NPCs...hm. An artist, either male or female, doesn't matter to me. Dressed in cute but mismatched clothing and is constantly looking for inspiration. Get friendly enough and s/he'll keep pestering to draw you!

Unfortunately I couldn't afford to donate enough to get into the beta.

I know it's boring but I really like to make a version of myself for my first character. I like to live in these worlds, immerse myself as much as possible. Plus, I like me! And it also helps me build real, genuine, honest connections with others in the game.

Any other character I make will be wildly removed from myself. I'm thinking maybe an extremely large and hedonistic capitalist bent on owning the entire town. I d'know. I might annoy myself too much with that idea!

I want an NPC that's like, a spoiled brat from a big city. Not too insufferable, but talks a lot about how much cooler everything is in the city (which you can't get to in-game, ofc, because that's not related to the game at all). Just one "city slicker" among all the farmers, ranchers, miners etc, I think it could be really funny. Maybe with a perpetual indifferent/bored facial expression, and clothes that stand out a bit as looking "sophisticated" or fancy.

In general, I like the occasional grumpy character, as long as they're not outright mean or hurtful, so I'd like to have at least one NPC like that. I'm kinda thinking of Zuko and Mai from A:TLA - like when they're having a romantic picnic watching the sunset, and Mai says "Orange is such an awful color". It makes for a nice change when the game itself seems happy and peaceful, to have at least one who's perpetually grumpy.

For my own character, I'll most likely just make it based on myself. I don't have any pre-existing original characters that I could make, but I often get inspired when playing around with character creators, like when I see just a certain hairstyle or face and I get inspired to make a certain character with a certain personality that the specific hairstyle/face/other thing reminds me of.

Those sound like great characters @3@ and yea, I'm similar. I make a lot of OCs on the spot and I usually forget about them after awhile.

Aaa I love those kind of characters (although I am a city slicker myself;;)

For myself, I guess I'll just choose what I like and looks cool? I don't really have a method... but I'll most likely be wearing some form of blue

I guess I can see myself role-playing some kind of fascist nerd with a deep respect for tradition and an extremely strong sense of justice.

I'd probably be really simple and go for my character being me! However, I'd probably lean towards a male version of me, because I am used to having male characters in most games and that's what I'm comfortable with. I like to think that I'm a fairly interesting person, even if I look plain, so it should be fun to try to have myself as my character.

Similarly (^▽^)

[RobotPenguin]

For games where I get to create a character, I always just make myself because I like myself ahaha! (〜￣▽￣)〜
