Pre-Made Characters

[Trenchcoat Man]

I can see it now. One year from today...

• Supply of Characters Pre-Made by the Community: 1 Million
• Demand for Characters Pre-Made by the Community: less than a dozen

Welp.

Yep. This was exactly what I was thinking as I scrolled down the page.

If it were to function, it would probably work best on a commission basis. Someone scrolls through a list of players with a creative overload and a desire to see their influence spread, look at a sample of their work by way of their own personal profiles, then humbly requests, "Hey, make me something based on these parameters, or just lose your damn mind."

Otherwise, it's just going to be a fat stack of unread archives that may only get the mildest perusal if it has a clever name.

In my experience, too, upon adopting someone else's characters, the creator tends to get super fidgety when you decide to take the character in your own direction by, say, not wanting to be affiliated with them in anyway IC.

[member="Drapeam Nyx"] I LOVED your signature thing. If I found the time and muse to recover after lost time, Triam would still be kicking

Alas, I have few of those things, so she sits in wait until such a time that I do

I suppose someone could certainly create Pre-Made Characters for new comers as in individual project, but I don't see this as a necessity for staff to run or organize. I might make a few pre-made characters simply because I love that creation aspect

All ya'll who love making characters and claim Premade is your answer need to go visit the NPC Creation Forum.

 

[Ordo]

I would make new characters but I just kill them anyway.

Start a thread revolving around pre-made characters (each post must conform to what a general bio sheet would be in the character creation section) and once it gains traction let staff know, though I feel this idea would be cool.

[member="Drapeam Nyx"] -- The signature idea sounds cool. Graphics are always fun in the character designing process, and I find a lot of people start with an image and build from there. I'd think it rare that members would come and not want to build their own character, never encountered that issue, but building inspirational art is always a great thing!! +1

 

[Alena Reckar]

I like this idea. It could easily help stem the tide of vanilla characters who are carbon-copied over from the franchise. Instead, people having trouble are given an alternative that enriches everyone's experience!

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

I did something similar once. I made a bunch of signatures and let people 'adopt' them, using them as inspiration for characters. I might start that up again...

You can make me one of you just can't help yourself. ^_^

I swear, if you don't use this, I will. I learned how to make things transparent for this chite.

This is certifiably badASS. The only thing is Varus is a Jedi and his face claim is Garrett Hedlund. T_T

Can I use this on a bounty hunter I've been meaning to make?

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

I'm an idiot. I should have said something about that from the start.

It was intended for a new character. My apologies if that wasn't clear. I thought we were still talking about what I used to do for people.
>__<

EDIT: Give me like, ten minutes, and I might have something for Varus.

It was? BALLIN! That makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE!

I'm starting a bounty hunter tonight, yo!

I'll have a Varus sig done in a sec. In the meantime...
A: Any quotes/short phrases/words you like?
B: I found a gif that looks like you and Corvus...

Or at least apparently that's your playby. According to google.

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

Daddy like that gif. I don't know how much [member="Corvus Raaf"] would appreciate being incorporated without her knowledge, however.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh... if you want to use a gif in the sig then by all means. You do a friggen awesome job anyway, so I'd prefer that you exercise your artistic mind and create what comes to you. As far as quotes or words in the gif I suppose you could include Name, "Jedi Knight" and perhaps an old favorite of mine... "I'd rather Live than live Forever."

YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO MENTION HER-
NOW SHE KNOWS I SHOWED IT TO YOU
*panics*
*flails*
Ahem. That gif will not be incorporated into the sig, and unfortunately at this time I'm still working on finding a proper program for getting gifs into my sigs without editing every single frame. However I'm still perfectly capable of making satisfactory works. Yours should be done shortly.
