Forums » RP Discussion » Need a new character! Help!

I have recently had to experience the unfortunate feeling of losing interest in a character, I had to delete her. Now....I would like to make a character who in absolutely unique....could anyone PLEASE help me? All I can do is stay in my comfort zone, which is making small and nice boys. Help me make a different kind of character.....please.....just give me ideas of how tough people could be like...or....whatever.......


PLEASE I AM DESPRATE!!!!

Well, perhaps start off looking at what types of characters draw you to those that you RP with? Do they RP strong men, warrior ladies etc? What characters do you like to see in others and maybe go from there?

Well, I have a medieval type warrior type woman already, but always up for those. I suppose I do like the thought of strong men, I just have a hard time......putting up a strong and 'no funny business' attitude, even when in character .

Maybe you could be playing a big strong guy, but instead of being a tough no non-sense kind of person, he's a huge goofball?

A lot of the toughest people I've met were really easy-going. Badass people are usually very comfortable with themselves, and don't feel the need to overcompensate with humorless attitudes.

Reading this I think of Vash the Stampede from trigun

Technically I guess there's a saying: The big are bashful

The tiny ones are usually the aggressive ones

These are really good character ideas guys. Thanks....so far I have come up with a few possibilities....

A strong but petite female professor, she hates being wrong and hates not knowing something about anything. She likes a good debate here and there but if she feels someone is not at her level of expertise she won't give them the time of day.

or.


An overpowering (male?) robot who enjoys playing with children and likes to support people. He will often be found helping orphans back home or will be carrying pregnant women through the shopping mall.

I think the Professor could be interesting, and has a bit more room to grow as a character. However, it's hard not to love the Iron Giant trope. I'm currently playing something similar in a D&D campaign here.

The professor seems better and more fleshed out to me~
