Hey I am new here.Loving the place so far.Can you guys help me out with some character ideas on how to build there personality abd their origin...
Sure why not. What do you have so far?
I have witbreaker as one of the characters.But am not able to explain his personality very well and also not able to find a avatar.
I also want to create a human character.
I also want to create a human character.
With his personality: What would a Cosmic being in a human form think and feel in let's say: A conflict?
With his avatar: If you are not able to find one that would look like him, make him, even if you aren't that good at it, try. I could also give you this, a little tool.
With the human character: What were the reason to create them, other than just creating a human character?

With the personality:There's never been a conflict with the other part.As he never come into duress.As he decides to be now a part of the society ,his other talents are shining through.There's a silent throb on his mind telling him to unlock his potential.
With the art: I will be the first one to say, I am really horrible at art.I just don't know the place to look for arts.If i don't like it there,then i might try my hand at drawing.
With the Human character: I want to create a very bubbly and extroverted character which is the opposite of what I am.so the problem is that I am not able to get the proper mindswt of one such character.

First off, let me say, I find it admirable that you are trying to push your RP boundaries. It's always nice to explore a different kind of character than you yourself.
So, in any case, for that human character, it's best to not try and build any character that is completely opposite from yourself. Every character will inevitably have a small part of yourself in them (even the ones that are evil or you otherwise hate), and trying to eliminate that small part will also inevitably make it much harder to try and play them or write them up. Perhaps this human is extroverted and bubbly because they are often thrust into social situations and need to cope with that, so they put on a face for the public, but occasionally need some time to themselves to recharge or they could snap. Or they genuinely enjoy being in public, but there are some private activities they enjoy from time to time, like reading, gaming, watching that movie everyone is talking about, etc--whatever kinds of things you enjoy doing when alone. It can really be anything, so long as it is a piece of you that you can connect to and use as a kind of anchor between the character and yourself.
With the character you are presently trying to flesh out...ask yourself some questions, and then fill out the answers as they come to you. How does he feel about his other half, and what it allows him to do? Does something drive him to perhaps learn what that other half is? Does he have any hobbies (reading, art, biking, hiking, something else)? What form does his OCD take (what is it he obsesses over? For some it's cleanliness/germaphobia, some it's needing things things organized just so, like always having your books alphabetical, for example, another thing could be an over-reliance on the rules and seeing that they get followed--it can be any number of things, the varieties it can take are near endless)?
I noticed he likes rubik's cubes, is he good at them? Does he like any other kind of puzzles, like jigsaws, wordplay/riddles, number puzzles, etc? What other things does he like aside from hobbies you may have thought of? Does he have any close friends he appreciates?
He dislikes apple pie, is there a reason for that? Perhaps some childhood memory he associates with it that he doesn't appreciate that might lead to some other dislikes as well? Are there any activities or other foods/drinks he can't stand? Behaviors from other people that tick him off? Does it frustrate him when he can't solve a rubik's' cube or another puzzle, if those are things he normally enjoys?
Hope these questions and thinking about them help spark something more you can use to fill out your character! If you need help in filling out a character in the future, you could try coming up with some questionnaires of common questions to answer for yourself that would help fill out personality, motivations, etc. I would be more than happy to help you come up with such a thing if you would like, and I am sure there are others on the site who would also be plenty willing!
