What Draws You To Your Character?

[eightfoldfiend]

Hey, it's a not-meme.

One thing I always find fascinating in this hobby is what draws people to the characters they play so this is me asking you that.

What drew you to your characters? What do you find fun about them? What aspects of them do you find easy or difficult?

For OCs, talk about how you came up with the idea for them and why you wanted to give them a spin in this hobby.

Read, converse, ask questions!

You can answer in list form, prose form, whatever form you're most comfortable with and with as much or as little detail as you want.

That's so true. I feel it gives them more depth but then it's that careful balance on giving characters depth without doing too much headcanon. It's why I will at times gloss over the whole intricacies of the Howling Voice Guild but my headcanon for that gets pretty dark.

Well Suikoden II and Suikogaiden don't exactly suggest that Howling Voice is the Happy Fun Times Guild! I'd be curious to hear your headcanon on it anyway sometime, I love hearing people's Suiko headcanons.

Haha that is true! And I can write it up when I've got a bit more time and send it through to you :D
