Blog:Rules on how to make a character

Here’s some rules everyone should follow for how characters are made:


 * 1) The character must be recognizable outside of their voice, appearance and role in the story. If it isn’t, then it can’t be described as a character.
 * 2) Give the character a character flaw to make them feel realistic. Otherwise, you’re stuck with a Rey (from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, at least).
 * 3) Do not make the character super annoying.
 * 4) If the character is established, do not commit flanderization of any kind.
 * 5) Make sure the design is great, and easily recognizable. Not generic.
 * 6) If you're going to add a minority character, make sure they're ethnicity, sexuality, disability, etc. isn't their only personality trait. Remember, gay CHARACTER, not GAY character. Otherwise, your character will be like Kevin Keller (from Riverdale).
 * 7) * A minority character added for the sake of diversity is called a token.
 * 8) (all-caps alert) NO OFFENSIVE STEREOTYPES.
