Re: Wonderful Character Survey

Basics
1)What is your character's name?
Casper.
2)How old is he/she?
Eleven.
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
Boy.
4)What's his/her race?
Australian.
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
None. He's an invisible nobody.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Yes.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
Besides the big ears of just about every child, the tuft of hair at the front of his head, and the little cocky's crest at the back.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
He's a kid, a friendly one. Yes, I'd enjoy spending time with him.
Personality
1)Temper?
Very evenly tempered. He's rarely let it get the better of him, as well as an eleven year old can manage.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Not really. Kids shouldn't, eh?
3)Leader or Follower?
Follower if he has to.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
A regular, honest, genuine little feller.
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
The answer is yes, but I've deliberately left as many references to the kids' parents out of the strip as possible.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
He's eleven. He goes out to Cody's place and the cemetery whenever he gets the chance though.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
He and Cody have met several of the occupants of the local cemetery, but none of them have been all that traumatic once they got past the transparency and all that.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
As far as the comic goes, meeting Wendy the spirit for the first time.
Romance
1)Single?
He's eleven! Of course!
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Trying...but not getting very far. Chastity doesn't even see him. But, after all, she is twelve.
3)Virgin?
Yes. Again, eleven.
4)Does your character like flirting?
No.
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
Sugar Glider.
2)Musical Instrument?
Seems to play the alto saxophone as well as an average eleven year old probably would be expected to. Musically, the theme song I gave him featured appegioed piano and reflective flute strains. I really liked that song.
3)Element?
Of the four, air. Like Casper, nobody sees air.
4)Planet?
Earth. Again, the one nobody really notices even though it's right under your nose.
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Quite regularly.
2)Do you write about him/her?
Besides the comic, one entire primary school musical play. Some of the kids in the room have started thinking about stories for him.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
He wouldn't fit in an RPG.
Oh...you mean role playing game...no. Unless you count the kid who performed him in the musical. He also was eleven and had blond hair.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Besides being brought to life in a live action musical, he pops up on displays around the classroom and on pictures and worksheets I make for the kids whenever I think he'll fit in. He often appears on little homework activities telling the kids what their task is. Usually with a joke at my expense.
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
Only by Miss Conway if he forgets to do his homework.
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
- Slips into the background too often and gets overlooked.
- Can't seem to keep Cody (and by unfair association, himself) out of trouble, although he's probably doing a better job than anyone else would.
- Possibly too quiet for his own good.
3)Strengths?
- Along with Cody, appears to be the only person who can see and interact with the occupants of the cemetery next door.
- Friendly, loyal and genuine with those who bother to recognise him.
- An easy-going approach and an open-minded and innocent perspective on life (like a kid should have).
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
He's eleven. No, but wouldn't turn away an offer of a glass of soft drink.
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
Being an invisible nobody, he's unwittingly attuned to see and interact with the spirits in the cemetery.
6)Does your character have any phobias?
Doesn't appear to once he worked out the spirits are just people, only dead.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
It's be pretty tricky, granted, but he does seem to have just about had enough of all of the spirits thinking he's joking when he tells them his name is Casper.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
Probably, but he does want to get a pet goat of his own like Cody's goat, The Ghost of the Murderer's Hut.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
If I was eleven, I'd want to have him as a best mate too. I'd love to have him (or someone like him) in the classroom. Come to think of it, I've been lucky. The last two years I have had the pleasure of a few kids very similar to Casper. Hope they don't realise it.
Cheers.

Re: Wonderful Character Survey

Basics
1)What is your character's name?
Dottiar, from Tales of the Traveling Gnome
2)How old is he/she?
Hmm.. mid 30's ish
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
male.
4)What's his/her race?
Gnome
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
Probably a lot. He's not much taller than most human five year olds, and if his familiar, Imp, came along for the ride, it'd DEFINITELY generate lots of stares.

2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Yes.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
Either his rather large nose or Imp, his familiar.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
As far as a gnome goes, I guess...
Personality
1)Temper?
Rather grumpy, but for good reason.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Not really. Annoyed and aggrivated, yes.
3)Leader or Follower?
follower
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
sharp intelligence.
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
He had parents and a brother, but they were killed by ogres when he was young.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
No
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
Well, two of his group just died and their thief betrayed the entire party, but the dead ones will be back soon and the thief... well, they're confronting him now. :p
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Probably when he was training to become a priest of the Goddess of Life. Though he didn't finish the path and chose instead to go into sorcery, that was probably the quietest time in his life... and Dottiar *enjoy* quiet periods.
Romance
1)Single?
yep
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
not likely, as there are few gnomes around his area.

My turn
Here goes:
Basics
1)What is your character's name?
Miriam. Last name is YTBR (yet to be revealed)
2)How old is he/she?
probably late 20's/early 30's
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
She's a female, who sometimes acts like a girl
4)What's his/her race?
Dunno. She looks pretty white, but it's a black and white comic. Could be Hispanic too.
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
None for being odd, probably a few for being attractive
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
What is normal? Okay, yeah, pretty much.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
Lithe body, big eyes, generally outta control hair
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Well, she's supposed to be. She's a little one-dimensional and fictional for my tastes.
Personality
1)Temper?
Nothing extraordinary.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Oh yeah.
3)Leader or Follower?
Probably more of a leader type, but doesn't appear to have the ambition to lead unless it's to convince someone to let her have her own way.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
Talks a lot, mostly about herself. Seems aware of her selling points, and is not falsely modest about them. On the other hand seems to have an awareness that what's on the surface is just on the surface.
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
YTBR. One would assume she had one, though.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Currently traveling with someone who is almost a complete stranger. She has her reasons, but they are mostly YTBR.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
Who hasn't? No mention of them in the strip yet, though.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Since she's currently on a trip that she assumes may result in a major change in her life, one could assume that whatever period she considers the best in her life probably happened well in the past (people usually don't seek to escape from the best time in their lives).
Romance
1)Single?
Kinda—on her way to meet an Internet acquaintance. Romance with said seems to be at least a possibility.
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
None that she's talked about yet, but you'd have to assume the answer is yes.
3)Virgin?
Again, she hasn't said, but given her age, one would assume she's not.
4)Does your character like flirting?
Seems to rank it right up there with breathing.
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
I dunno, this section is kinda lost on me. I guess a cat, but that seems painfully cliche.
2)Musical Instrument?
Dunno. Something loud I guess. Like a distrorted guitar. Or a cymbal.
3)Element?
Wouldn't have a clue. This kind of cookie-cutter symbolism is totally lost on me.
4)Planet?
See "Element."
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Uh, yeah. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion.
2)Do you write about him/her?
Yeah. Otherwise it would be a strip about mutes. Or worse yet, mimes.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
I'm not a RPG'er. But if I was, I don't think I'd use her, seeing as how she has no magical powers and would probably be dead on the first die roll.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
I'm taking 15 minutes out of my time to write about her right now.
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
She hasn't said. Probably not.
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
Won't shut up. Doesn't listen. Seems overly concerned with pumping/protecting her own ego.
3)Strengths?
Seems to have a compassionate streak.
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Like a fish. And a chimney. (Ect.?)
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
She's an attractive girl but seems unconcerned by her hair. It kinda flies all over the place.
6)Does your character have any phobias?
Yes, she seems to have a fear of being alone. She picked up a stranger on the first day of her cross-country trip. Lucky for her it seems to be turning out all right so far.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Ignore her? Dunno, we haven't seen her get really pissed off yet
8)Does your OC like chickens?
Oddly she has not yet stated a preference. And we're four weeks into the strip! She's clearly hiding something.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
So far she's done what I've told her. The threat of non-existence seems to keep her in line.

1)What is your character's name?
Miriam. Last name is YTBR (yet to be revealed)
2)How old is he/she?

1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
YTBR. One would assume she had one, though.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Currently traveling with someone who is almost a complete stranger. She has her reasons, but they are mostly YTBR.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
Who hasn't? No mention of them in the strip yet, though.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Since she's currently on a trip that she assumes may result in a major change in her life, one could assume that whatever period she considers the best in her life probably happened well in the past (people usually don't seek to escape from the best time in their lives).
Romance
1)Single?
Kinda—on her way to meet an Internet acquaintance. Romance with said seems to be at least a possibility.
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
None that she's talked about yet, but you'd have to assume the answer is yes.
3)Virgin?
Again, she hasn't said, but given her age, one would assume she's not.
4)Does your character like flirting?
Seems to rank it right up there with breathing.
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
I dunno, this section is kinda lost on me. I guess a cat, but that seems painfully cliche.
2)Musical Instrument?
Dunno. Something loud I guess. Like a distrorted guitar. Or a cymbal.
3)Element?
Wouldn't have a clue. This kind of cookie-cutter symbolism is totally lost on me.
4)Planet?
See "Element."
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Uh, yeah. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion.
2)Do you write about him/her?
Yeah. Otherwise it would be a strip about mutes. Or worse yet, mimes.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
I'm not a RPG'er. But if I was, I don't think I'd use her, seeing as how she has no magical powers and would probably be dead on the first die roll.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
I'm taking 15 minutes out of my time to write about her right now.
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
She hasn't said. Probably not.
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
Won't shut up. Doesn't listen. Seems overly concerned with pumping/protecting her own ego.
3)Strengths?
Seems to have a compassionate streak.
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Like a fish. And a chimney. (Ect.?)
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
She's an attractive girl but seems unconcerned by her hair. It kinda flies all over the place.
6)Does your character have any phobias?
Yes, she seems to have a fear of being alone. She picked up a stranger on the first day of her cross-country trip. Lucky for her it seems to be turning out all right so far.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Ignore her? Dunno, we haven't seen her get really pissed off yet
8)Does your OC like chickens?
Oddly she has not yet stated a preference. And we're four weeks into the strip! She's clearly hiding something.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
So far she's done what I've told her. The threat of non-existence seems to keep her in line.

Re: Wonderful Character Survey
Okay, I'll bite, wth spoilers and everything. It's not like anyone that reads my comic is going to read this, anyway.
Click here for a picture reference. Tehqueen is the fangirl I drew the picture for.
Basics
1)What is your character's name?
Puma. Eh. It's an alias, and he hasn't told me his real name yet.
2)How old is he/she?
About 132 years, give or take.
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
Girly boy. That's just how I make 'em.
4)What's his/her race?
Genetically engineered mutant. It's cliche, but the wings are still cool.
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
A looooot. He'd probably attract all the local news channels too.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Fairly. He's a little on the extreme side, but he's definitely more normal there than here.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
An eyepatch on his right eye, metal chains he always wears, and black demon wings.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Um... maybe. Before he lost his eye, he was a bit bishonen... But now the fangirls like him for his attitude, I think. Speaking of which....
Personality
1)Temper?
Nah. He tends to deem things "not worth his time". He tends to take an aloof and pragmatic approach to his problems.
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
He never STOPS. It's his natural state.
3)Leader or Follower?
Follower. And he's a good follower, in a "loyal evil henchman that will kill his best friend for his boss" sort of way.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
His aloofness, I guess. He holds himself distant from everyone else, not getting overly emotional about anything. Not an ounce of spirit left in the guy. (Until later in the story, that is).
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Heh. That one's complicated. He was created over a century ago in a genetic lab to become a soldier... he did have peers that were created in the same lab while growing up.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
Well, he is 132 years old. I think he can take care of himself.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
Hell yeah. How could I make an angsty character without any traumatizing events? Let's just say that he lost a loved one because of a decision he made, and leave it there for now.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
Probably back in his early days. You know, before the traumatizing event.
Romance
1)Single?
And likely to stay that way.
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Yep. See #3 of the previous section.
3)Virgin?
Nope.
4)Does your character like flirting?
No, but it'd be interesting to see him try...
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
A hunting cat: thus, his name. Puma.
2)Musical Instrument?
A flute, because he's small and wispy.
3)Element?
Air or water. He tends to go with the flow of things... but in a dettached sort of way.
4)Planet?
Pluto, of course. It's distant and cold; he's distant and cold...
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Of course, though I have gotten some fanart that does him better than I do.
2)Do you write about him/her?
Only for my comic, although I am thinking of doing a short fic on his backstory.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
Nah. His race and backstory would be too difficult to integrate into an RPG.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Just by giving him love and attention when he needs it most and wants it least.
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
There's something about assassinating the Pope, but that was issued fifty years ago in the age an organization that has since fallen, so I think he's safe.
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
1. His lack of empathy.
2. His tendency to dwell in the past.
3. Depth perception.
3)Strengths?
Most pertain to physical combat. He's good at precision and stealth.
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Never really thought about it. He seems the type to pick up smoking somewhere, but I don't think I've ever drawn a cigarette in my comic....
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
Besides the fact that he's a 132-year-old winged genetic mutant trained as an assassin be a government that no longer exists? I can't think of a thing.
6)Does your character have any phobias?
Love. Yeah, I'm serious. He has some serious emotional issues. Though he may also be a germophobe or something; I've never asked.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Ooh... that'd be really tough.... Refer to #3 of the "History" section.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
No. He hates them. He thinks they're pointless and annoying.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
He's just a character that I came up with: not a special one based after me or anyone that I know. But he's one of those that really sticks. I keep him around because I find his angstings amusing.

I used somewhat different set of questions for my character development tutorial. I actually took it from one very good book:
1. Origins
a. Time and place of birth
b. Parents. Their race/ethnic/social/economical origins
c. Same data about eventual brothers and sisters, relevant cousins.
d. Structure of family and family life;
e. Relations of character with his parents, brothers, sisters
(Note: If you make your character an orphan that never got to meet their family and have nobody in entire world, like lots of webcomic writers do, it will be much harder to carve that character successfully, than putting them on a blank background, which previous cliché basically is – no matter what horrible events and traumas related to the lack of family you put in their past)

William Guiles, main character of Dragon Kingdoms
Basics
1)What is your character's name?
William Guiles
2)How old is he/she?
17
3)Is your OC a boy or girl?
boy
4)What's his/her race?
Gigan (a type of giant that is more friendly and not as destructive as most are)
Appearance
1)If this character were to suddenly become part of the real world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would he/she get?
Well... let's see. If you saw a twelve-story tall giant spiky-haired teen show up in the middle of a city, you'd expect that he'd get quite some stares. In addition, all the local news stations, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News Channel, and probably the National Guard would show up at his location.
2)Is your character considered normal in his/her own world?
Actually, yes, as his kind can show up in almost any town. And since he travels with some normal-sized friends that are the heroes of the world, he'll show up when they do.
3)What would be his/her most recognisable feature(s)?
Other than his great height
Well, he carries a massive weapon known as the Great Sword which could cleave through a redwood, and his spiky hair is somewhat unusual.
4)Would you consider your OC as attractive?
Compared to what would be expected of a giant, I'd say so.
Personality
1)Temper?
Well, William is usually quite mild-mannered, but there are situations that cause him to get a little angry, conditions that people wisely try to avoid giving him, a notable example involves the cause of his disappearance from the comic (I won't reveal it here)
2)Does your character ever get depressed?
Yes, such as when the world is in ruins, when Thomas sends him away, and when the people decide to lash back at him for others' actions.
3)Leader or Follower?
Follower, definitely, as his friends travel the world, he follows along.
4)What is the main aspect of his/her personality?
Quite cheerful and comedic outside of the above depression/anger conditions, about 90% of the time, "William Guiles is all smiles"
History
1)Did your OC have a family of any sort? If so, are they still alive?
Definitely, he has two brothers, John, and "Little" Brian. He also has a sister that hasn't been named, and his mother has appeared very early in the comic's history. His father hasn't yet been revealed, but it's said he has a quite high position.
2)Is your character out on his/her own? If so, why?
He has a place that was mainly built to be closer to the heroes, but he also has a place with his family.
3)Has he/she encountered any traumatising events?
I'd say the events around the end of the original series (before it went to specials), and of course, the shattering of the world in a later story would get him a little bit, but he doesn't dwell on it too much.
4)What was probably the best time in his/her life so far?
The time he met the heroes, after a mind control device was broken and he came to, after almost destroying a good part of the continent the heroes lived on (they moved north for the comic)
Romance
1)Single?
Yes.
2)Has your OC developed any romantic relationships?
Yes, but the girl that he saw was too destructive, proving her power by punching a hole into a building. Events after this led to their breakup, at which Thomas got mad at him for leaving them behind.
3)Virgin?
Yes, as the relationship broke early
4)Does your character like flirting?
Not really. But plenty of people flirt with him.
Symbolism
1) What animal would you associate your OC with?
The Elephant, as he never forgets. Well, almost never. But you could do something really bad to him at 18, and he'd still remember it in your senior years, assuming you were able to avoid him for that long.
2)Musical Instrument?
Drums
3)Element?
Earth
4)Planet?
Dracos, a planet system not too unlike Earth in appearance, but full of monsters
Showing the Love
1)Do you draw your character?
Yes, it's kind of hard not to for a webcomic
2)Do you write about him/her?
I am right now, plus it's part of making the RPGs.
3)Do you use him/her in any RPG's?
Yes, he gets a bigger role (pun intended) in Dragon Kingdoms II, a RPG Maker game series from which the comics are loosely based off.
4)What other ways have you appreciated your OC?
Well, he has an entry in the comic's wiki, as well as here.
RANDOMISE!
1)Is your character wanted for anything?
Judging by the world's response to him, love and curiosity (such as, how is his life different)
2)What are three weaknesses in him/her?
He can get set off when people hurt his friends or family, he gets a little sad when things aren't looking great, and his size makes it a little hard to live the way his friends do. He outlives many of them, as a result, aging much slower than his human friends.
3)Strengths?
He knows powerful magic, has plenty of knowledge about the world from its early times, and is able to get back up fairly quickly after something bad happens.
4)Does your OC drink or smoke (ect.)?
Only soda or water, and such. So, no
5)What's one quirk about him/her?
His allergy to a certain powder that is used for explosives. The powdery stuff is too big for humans to be affected by it, but he's just the right size
6)Does your character have any phobias?
Yes, he's afraid that the world will turn their back on him one day, and start discriminating him because of his massive size.
7)What could you do to get him/her into a blind rage?
Do you want me to get him *points up* into a blind rage?! He could slash everything apart with that Great Sword of his, shake the world to its foundations, send fiery meteors down, freeze everything solid, blow everything away, or drown everyone with his spells. Let me say it again. He's twelve stories tall, has a huge sword that can cut through STEEL, and knows devastating spells. I don't think it's a good idea to get him into a blind rage. That said, ending the world creation and dropping all ties with him might not help matters.
8)Does your OC like chickens?
Chickens he doesn't mind. It's TURKEYS that are the problem, what with their plan for world domination in response to their being dined on by people. The MegaTurkey, in particular, is really bad.
The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
At this point, 11 years in, virtually inseparable. He IS Dragon Kingdoms, and it'd be hard to imagine ending either.
1)What is your character's name?

Not outwardly.

The Final Question
What would you consider your relationship with your character to be like?
If he were real, I'd look up to him (literally). But he is not perfect and I don't always agree with what might come out of his mouth or with his point of view even if I've tried to make him as mellow as can be.
His role in the universe is to go beyond the old monster-in-society archetype and put a new spin on who rejects and who accepts him, and how he reacts to that. Where most monsters end up in a burning windmill surrounded by an angry mob he has actually succeeded in assimilating with humanity. But sometimes he tries too hard to fit in.
