Character Development Thread

[Draconorn]

Instead of clogging up the Help forum with millions of topics asking for character names, here's a topic where we can all work on our not-so-certain characters.

To start off, I need to work on Gremlin a bit for a potential story. I've had difficulty working out her past and storyline, and she could do with a boyfriend too. She's the strong type that stands on her own two feet and doesn't need anyone else's help, but there'll come a time when she'll need a hug or two.
I've had tons of musings (GremlinxSD!Danny, GremlinxBloodhounds!Dante, but I'd get things thrown at me for those, and even GremlinxOni, but that's downright worrying XP)
I was originally needing hlep with her powers, but now I've decided on one. She can bring her drawings and stories to life, but only the ones she really puts her heart into stay alive. That's how she came to be good friends with a bunch of her creations.
I've had an idea that Gremlin wrote herself into her stories when her own world is getting torn apart in senseless war, which fits with her power. Then she pretends to be an exchange student and moves in with the Fentons. Past that... I haven't come up with much.

*bump* <_<;

GremlinxOni is cute....

DRAW SOME OF IT NOW.

[KC11]

KC: But you said Danny has a no love no sorrow policy...

Me: Wrong Danny dimwit! -_-

KC:

GremlinxSDDanny= Isn't he supposed to be a stuck up snob?
GremlinxBloodhoundsDante= Isn't he a little... bit much?
GremlinxOni= Uh.... isn't he supposed to be a sort of child to Gremlin? Or pet?

Uh, well, I'm trying to give my "this universe version of myself" character a name. I mean, I can't just call her "Creator" all the time, right? It has to be something similar to KC's name (My initials are KC, so Creator should have the initials of KC too, to fit in with how she got her creation's name). I was originally going to call her Kayla, but that's already KC11's alter ego's name, so.... bleh.

XD AGREE'D!

So anyway... speaking of character development... Well, I'm not entirely sure about Dreamweaver's personality. I've noticed how outside the story realms, he seems shy, almost wussy, even.

Dreamweaver: I-I resent that remark!

Maraha: Yet inside the two stories I wrote (The Swaying Light and Wandering, Wondering) he seems serious and wise.

Dreamweaver: I am serious and wise!

Maraha: Maybe he'll just be kinda wussy around Fibre? ;D

Dreamweaver: oAo; *Pulls hood over face* Where?

[Draconorn]

SD!Danny: Me? Snob? You're joking right?
DM!Danny: He 'aint a snob, he's a pussy ;D
SD!Danny: >:[

; I thought GremlinxOni is creepy. Srsly. Though cute in a weird way.

Anyway, KC... Kate Cairo? I dunno XD

Dreamweaver... could have a dreamy personality? ... That's way too stereotypical .Man I suck at this XD

[KC11]

Ah, well, after reading the first chapters of SD, I kinda got that impression. -_-

Well, I have a lovely delima.

It's my character, Aura, KC's kid. Well, you know the whole bit about her not knowing her father, and being born due to a lab accident and all that bit?

Yeah.... well, Kate Cairo (thanks to drac for the name!) knows who the father is........

......

And if she said anything, she'd probably be flamed out of her life. >_>

It's just an awkward delima. Let's just say that KC should be careful what she wishes for.

Yeah. *awaits flames*

Anyway, her parentage is kinda important, because she has powers from both of her parents, so I might as well put up a weird warning.

Anyway, I'm trying to make a story for Aura. Originally I was going to make it an RP, then I realized it wasn't going to be a good RP, so I turned it into a story. It's called Gone-Aura's story. So what I'm trying to do now is make a real incentive for Aura to run away. No, having KC beat her is out of the question (they're more or less equals at this point anyway). I was thinking about having her run away because she felt she was weird (she is a very messed up child: Doctors said she would die before she was 9) but that might not be a good enough reason...

[Draconorn]

Wow... I thought that name I came up with was stupid
Yeah, the first couple of chapters of SD are a bit out of character, we really need to fix that story. Or rewrite it ._.
As for Aura's running away thing, it could have something to do with mood swings. Once or twice I briefly (very very briefly) considered running away when I was pissed at my family for some random reason <_<;

[Grendel Man]

I've come up with yet another strange story idea, this time focused on fish in a fish tank.

I'm not going to mention the plot for it, as this is the wrong thread for it, but I do need some help with the characters.

The main character is a Ryukin Goldfish. Besides the fact that he is bold in situations that one would be better off running from, and loves exploring new areas, he lacks any distinct personality. And plus, he doesn't have a name! I fail horribly when coming up with names. XP
His friend also lacks a name. She is a Mexican Tetra (no, not the blind kind), who is friendly and supporting, but also has a high degree of sense. Her personality could also use some work.

The only character who has a name so far is the story's "antagonist", a Kafue Pike Characoid. He is named Kofune, and, seeing as he is of monstrous size (at least in comparison to the other fish) and a predator, the other fish fear him and stay away from his section in the tank.

I don't need much help with Kofune, except maybe a backstory, but I definately need some help with the two protagonists.

[Draconorn]

Umm... you could call the goldfish Jinn? I don't know where that name came from, I just thought of it ; I'm no good at this kind of thing.

[KC11]

HIDEOUS GAPING PLOT HOLE IS HIDEOUS! ):

I just realized that two facts about Yaris are conflicting:

1. She has a cousin
2. Her parents are Demetris and Jesten

Think about it.... Demetris and Jesten were the only survivors in the Dome.... plus, she's related to Marvis through Demetris, and Demetris's parents died before Demetris was born. They never had another kid, and even if they did the super killer norns would have gotten here, because KC found no other life besides that in the Dome.

However, in order for Marvis to be Yaris's cousin, Demetris needs a brother/sister to give birth to her.

I need help.

I was thinking about writing a story where KC11 decided to clone Demetris and the clone somehow got away.... then later on they found Marvis and KC11 found that she was related to Demetris, even though Demetris had never laid an egg, so KC11 knew that the clone had reproduced... but then again I need the clone to die after giving birth to Marvis, and if KC11 cloned Demetris, she would have also cloned the fact that Demetris is immortal... (although there is a way Demetris can be killed...). Maybe I could make it so KC botched the cloning....

Eh.

[Ember Lee]

Soo many clones....O.O;
Um....Maybe Marvis is the result of a previous relationship. You know maybe one of Demetris's folks had a boy/girl friend both they married the other parent, but didn't know about the 'other' child?

Also I need some help. I've got to come up with a name for a very pretty lombax I've just created. At the mo she's called Cristal, but I don't really like it. She's Zephyr's gf btw ^^ *sqee*
She's got very bright blue eyes (kind of aqua in colour), light bown fur, and dark blonde hair. She's very coy, but is great friends with Alistair and Zephyr. She's not cold and she's not out there either. She needs a very gentle kind of name, but like I said, I can't think of anything.
help please!

[Ember Lee]

DOUBLE POST

Don't worry about the name thing, I've come up with one

[Draconorn]

[OT] I just realised that my onslaught of new characters for my Team of Ten soon-to-be webcomic has taken my character total to well over 100! [/OT]

[Savverz]

So... I need to come up with a good personality for Cutty, a dude I saw in a dream of mine... LINK

So at first he's kinda klutzy and silly, but once bothered he gets creepy... but I dunno... I feel like I'm missing something.

Oh, and I so need to find someone to draw him, or at least draw the lineart for me to color. xDDDDD

[Ruathlih]

When i normally gets stuck on names, i go to a baby name website and search by meaning until i find the perfect one... it usually works, but it takes a long time. Just a tip if your stuck and can't find a fitting name anywhere..

Sav, he sounds like the fool archetye to me, just grumpier.

And.. Kc, perhaps demetris was actually a twin...? But the second one got lost or something along the lines of that? I dunno, just the first thing i came up with. Theres a major loop hole in that, somewhere, it probably won't work..

[Draconorn]

I can draw the lineart for you if I find the time, but I have to study for my exams sometime soon <_<;

[KC11]

I need some help working on Louis, my pedo creepy rapist char. >_>'

I mean, either I work on him or.... I just get rid of him. I'm weighing those two options.

Also, I need some suggestions for a story as to how Temo and Kay came into the picture. I mean, they're not from the Dome, but they somehow appeared and.... stuff.

Also, how can I make Frofang a little less insane and a little more... evil? I've already got an insane character!

Demetris: :3

._. I have a lot of random characters.

@drac: 100 characters? @_@ I only have about, eh, 20 or so and I have a hard time keeping track of them.

[Draconorn]

._. I have 111 exactly, I counted them. And the creepy thing is, I can remember them all by name and stuff D:
To make up for it, I forget everything else x3

Louis, I'd say have a heck of a lot of fun writing a death scene for him XD
Frofang... no idea...

[Draconorn]

Sorry to double psot, but this is urgent! D:
Well, sorta... well no, it's not. But it's for TAINted!
I want to give one of the characters heterochromia (each eye is a different colour) because I've never had a character like that before and I thought it'd be cool... but I don't know which one D:
I can't pick Tain because then- DAMNIT SHUTTING UP. CAN'T TELL SPOILERS!
My choices are Lucifer -he'd probably have one eye indigo and one eye more of a turquoise colour- or Marco -one eye dark glass green and one pale green-
