Sometimes I wish I even knew where to start with art so I could create an OC. Then I realize that I have no clue where I'd start on making an OC. Then I give up on it all. A few months later I start the cycle again. One day... I'll break the cycle. Today I nap.

@kdb424@woof.tech you can always start by writing them! Here's a few questions that can help imagine/flesh out a character: - The character's place/time of life (modern day in a small mountain village? ancient Rome? the fabulous islands of Heavenlandia, where everyone is an angel or a demon?) - The character’s name - The character's appearance - The character's main personality traits (are they calm? impulsive? fearful? do they hate injustice? do they love joking?) - The character’s motivation (what do they want abstractly? fame? stability? affection? excitement?) - The character’s goal (what do they want concretely? earn money? learn magic? become President?) - The character’s conflict(s) (what prevents them from reaching this goal? a rival? an evil corporation? their own fears?) It's also sometimes easier to imagine 2-3 at a time by setting them as friends/rivals, because you can build on their differences!
