What sort of themes or ideas did you have in mind when making certain characters?

I think if I had something to add about my own fan character, I would say that I created him based entirely on myself and my passion for living things- animals living today, to those that became extinct millions of years ago, and to those based on myths and legends. He was really based on myself because there have often been times were I really wished I could have his powers and abilities- to turn into any animal, creature, or beast and be able to save the world or even rescue people from harm and danger. You could say I made him to be a super hero but don't think he's based on Marvel or DC comics. He's as a matter of fact part of the Anime and Manga universe and has appeared in an awful lot of well known TV series as well as a popular icon. I'm proud of him because I made him by scratch, had to alter his powers and abilities at lease until I got them just right, and that he's a loyal character who'll do right and no wrong.

I won't go through all of the characters for each one, but I'll at least give it a start.

For the gods, all of them survived the prior war as a result of completely different tactics, and that informs their current behavior. Rafa is the last of the truly powerful gods, a character who's had the luxury to examine his own morality and has changed his perception of humans as a result. I also put him in the most vulnerable and weak state, placing on him a humility he'd never known before. His character probably had the largest shift between the war and now. Eva is a new-age god of sorts, someone who would have been considered weak at the start of the war but gradually gained power. She adapted to the world around her, and, like Rafa, sees value in humans, but only insofar as their intellects are concerned. Their adaptation was hers, after all. She doesn't see much difference between her current state and her previous one, merely continuing the same dominion she had before. Meanwhile, Katashi has never been truly powerful. He was a character who survived through betrayal and subterfuge, destroying all of his past to ensure his future. However, despite how he's been portrayed, he's not malicious. Katashi has always played the long game when it comes to schemes. He does see humanity as expendable, and is the only one of the three to absolutely hate his bound status, wanting back the power he feels he needs.

Constantine I set up as the perfect soldier, the kind who believes god and country are everything. A physical person who is often willing to do anything necessary to accomplish a given task, he's the opposite, in many ways, of Genkai, who is more thoughtful and careful with her moves. Despite her frailty, Genkai is likely the most dangerous of the Prelates, mainly because she feels open and willing to act on her own, making her more of a wild card.

Julius was fun. I wanted a character that embodied exactly what Eva was looking for in her Conduits and nothing else – brilliance, but no physical ability whatsoever. The baoding balls are actually my own design, but they embodied that same sense of mental over physical, as they are usually used to calm the mind. I thought it was a nice bit of irony that, instead of using them for calm, he used them for violence, seeking out his opponent and putting himself at great risk in the process.

Selucia was interesting, actually based on a song I rather like. I wanted the Vassals to all have very different sets of strains placed on them by holding Katashi's power, and in her case, I wanted those strains to result from the usage of her abilities. She's constantly forgetting pieces of her past, though she's not entirely sure that those pieces were good. Nonetheless, she feels like she's losing herself, and finds comfort in someone who can empathize.

Wowza... that's some detail. I don't have many RPs under my belt so mine shouldn't be too long. Lemme see if I can remember where my inspirations stemmed from...


I'll start with Yumei Kakei. Urami was a simple one; everything about her is emotion-based, leaning more towards the darker ones. Veki Adomir was based around the concept of "On and Off".

In KnSK I tried to make Jake the complete opposite of her pagan god, Baron Samedi; a brash, alcohol-consuming womaniser partnering with an introverted, closet lesbian. To be honest, Yver is the result of me wanting to put supernatural powers and abilities inside the body of a complete non-athlete...

Frango in Ikizumari was inspired massively by David Haller/Legion from the Marvel Comics. Frango is my attempt at creating and portraying my own version of David Haller although unfortunately I think the only things that really differentiates Frango from David Haller is the powers they have... I like characters who interact with the 4th Wall in fiction; that's where Joseph Blogsz comes from. All other characters...

I can't really mention any characters from Resurgence since they were all created to suit my zanpakuto...


Generally speaking all my characters stem from a power/ability that I think would be good for the RP I'm in. Power first, character later.

Well typically for me at least I have a preconceived notion of what I want my character to act like, look like and fight like. The way the character turns out though depends entirely on what influences have been around me at the time.

For instance with Kyobo from Resurgence I had been listening to a lot of music making reference to the theme of a juggernaut, hence his determination and zanpakuto.

Andre Vila for Yumei came about from watching a lot of horror anime. I always thought about how powerful a nightmare was and thus his power came to being and I worked around that using some anime stereotypes.

Karlos was the product of horror and crime dramas. I wanted to have a guy who was mentally unstable enough to kill indiscriminately and who's power was something that could be used to terrify people if needs be.

Rikaro from Resurgence was based off of Swain from League of Legends both in appearance (With alterations) and personality (Very minor alterations)
