character creation tagi was tagged by @thecadmiuminkwell (thank you so much!) and i decided to do two characters for mine. so i’ll answer the questions for louis because people like him (lmao) and then i’ll also do camille because i want more people to know her. both of these characters are from my main wip, alterations.1. what was the first element of your character that you remember considering?louis - his age. i wanted a character that was a little bit older, but not as old as cerdick. i also wanted a very emotional character, and i wanted to be able to exploit his point of view, so i decided that he would have a journal.camille - camille started off because i created leo and i wanted her to have an ex still in the friend group. that’s it. then this very awesome character was born. 2. did you design them with any other characters from their universe in mind?louis - yes! i designed him by thinking of the other character’s actions and how he would react, as well as how he himself would make the other characters react. since he’s a very emotional person, that’s pretty much how i first carved him. idk if that makes sense?camille - as previously mentioned i created her in the intention of having this ex-girlfriend dynamic with leo, so obviously, yes3. how did you chose their name?okay so my novel takes place in current day quebec, which is predominantly french speaking. the characters have french names because of that.louis - louis, i just love that name tbh. and i thought it was very fitting for a wild, sentimental man. idk. for the last name, cardin is just a common quebec last name that’s easy to pronounce in english and louis cardin sounds cool.camille - she’s named after my cousin camille because they are very alike. the last name nelson in common in haiti (her father is haitian), and once again, i thought camille nelson sounded cool together.4. in developing their backstory, what elements of their world played the most influential part?louis - both his parents were altered (which means they have superhuman sensory abilities). elise (his first serious romantic interest) was not altered, so when cedrick, who IS altered, comes along, he freaks out, because he’s not used to this anymore and not being able to stay secretive about his feelings freaks him outcamille - camille is literally altered… other than that i don’t really know what to add lmao5 / 6 / 7. is there any significance behind their hair color/eye color/height?louis - not much meaning in any of these. he is pretty short tho which is convenient because he does stupid shit like climbing in treescamille - everybody loves her hair because it’s really big and wild and curly. and she’s pretty tall.8. what do you relate to within their character/story?louis - his mindless behaviour, doing risky things like climbing on stuff and lighting things on fire and then getting hurt all the time. very me like bitch samecamille - our personalities are very alike, she’s an overthinker and she’s very cartesian. she loves science and plants and space, and me too.9. are they based of you in any way?louis - not really, no. that’s a very deceiving answer i’m guessing, but i didn’t have myself in mind when creating him, we’re very different (aside from the ‘getting in trouble and being clumsy as fuck’ thing).camille - a little. she is kinda based off of my cousin, but off of me too. and her experience with leo is based off of my relationship experiences lmao10. did you know what your character’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation? louis - i knew he was gonna be attracted to men. i knew he was gonna be into cedrick. what i figured out a bit later, was that he is elise’s ex, and elise is non-binary. so i have no idea what his sexuality is and it doesn’t matter, i don’t want to label itcamille - yes, she’s very much a lesbian, and as mentioned earlier she was literally created to be another female character’s ex sooooo yeah11. what have you found is the most difficult art form in creating your character?I CAN’T REALLY DRAW LMAO12. how far past canon events that take place in their world have you extended their story?louis - his childhood, with his parents.camille - idk yet but so far, her early teens13. if you had to narrow it down to 2 things you must keep in mind while working with this oc, what would they be?louis - first, he gets very easily flustered. second, he cares about people easily and gets attached easily, even if he’s never actually met the person (cough NORBERT cough)camille - first, she’s curious and loves to learn. second, she loves herself and knows that she doesn’t deserve to suffer. so don’t try to hurt her because she knows better14. what is something about your oc that makes you laugh?louis - how god damn ANGRY he gets at his own emotions (especially his feelings for cedrick)camille - she does a lot of trial and error, which means she fails a lot and it’s hilarious15. what is something about your oc that makes you cry?louis - the same thing i just said was funny can sometimes be… not funny and very relatable. the way he doesn’t know how to control the way he feels and gets easily emotionally put off makes him suffer sometimescamille - how introspective she gets. when she starts asking big questions.16. is there some element you regret adding to your oc or their story?louis - idk if the fact that his parents were both altered is really pertinent, so idk if i’ll keep itcamille - i can’t think of anything!17. what is the most recent thing that you’ve discovered about your oc?louis - the fact that he cares for leo and really wants her to become a better personcamille - how much self respect she has, not in an egocentric kind of way, but the healthy way. she knows what’s good for herself and she knows to cut the toxic shit out of her life18. favorite oc fact?louis - he has tons of lil scars all over and they all have a story about how he did some clumsy shit and ended up hurting himselfcamille - she left leo, because leo wasn’t good to her, and she knows that she deserves better. also she loves fishing!{tagging} @enby-writer @melissaswriting @girlnovels @kit-tells-a-story @skyryf and anyone else who wants to do it (also if i tagged you and you don’t feel like it that’s ok luv) -- source link
