Let’s make sure to keep this cordial so it doesn’t spew out of control, Perhaps a PM would work better to converse over the topic. I hope you guys sort it out! And please don’t hesitate to contact a staff member if the issue escalates. :heart:

I often try to pick a specific character trait that I want to try out and give those to my character. Though my characters often are pretty similar, I do try to find things that make them different. My most contrasted character atm is Dark who is the most opposite of my other characters when he is unstable. (and I found out I kinda like his ‘dark’ side).

I often think about one situation and try to think how my characters would react. if it’s the same in more than 4 situation, I’ll change something.

@RPers what do you usually do to keep your characters different?

That’s what I do too, and I love to do it a lot :eyes: for example, when I thought of Merthiel, I thought of rudeness. When I thought of Algasia, I thought of serenity. When I thought of Jayleen, I thought of elegance.

I give them specific details that will at least make them a little bit different from each other. I also try to think of qualities that I don’t have and give them that.

quirks help a lot as well.
Like then being touchy (huggy) or just more of a finger fun type of person.

Yesss I like doing that a lotttt it also makes me feel like I’m playing an actual character, not just a character for the sake of having one

I thought of a new way I’m trying to make my characters unique and different:

I take a friend I have and see if I can make them into a character by amplifying their persona.
