What power doesn't have a weakness? Not very many! Flawed powers are not a bad thing! Flawless powers, again, can easily get annoying. However, if you think you can give your character two or more powers without going over the top, go right ahead! See where I'm going? You don't need a bunch of powers to be awesome, just one can be sufficient! Having too many powers for one person can get pretty annoying, especially if it's not well written. If you've noticed, Spiderman has spider abilities, and that's all. You don't really want a character to have more than one ability. Doing research on powers like these will really help to make sure that their powers aren't too 'almighty'.Īnother thing to be careful of is too much power. Pyrokinesis is not the ability to create fire out of thin air, but to heat things up or light flammable items on fire, and control already existing fire. Many people get the wrong idea about this power. Now, when giving your character powers, you want to make sure the powers are accurate. Here are some tips to prevent that from happening It's also something to easily overdue and totally screws up your originality. Making siblings for main characters (Sonic, Amy, etc.) isn't the greatest idea, unless you can do it really well written, then go ahead!Īh powers, a very common thing that FC's seem to share. However, making siblings for side characters (Chaotix, Vanilla, etc.) isn't that bad of an idea since these characters haven't really gotten so much attention that we know everything about them. Creating one of these guys is a great way to get haters if you want, but who wants that? Well, besides the annoying trolls out there.So, a good way to prevent this is to make sure your characters story isn't too over the top! Again, long lost siblings aren't the best way to go. The biggest problem that I see in fan characters is mary-sues. I'm not saying to rip off popular character stories since that ruins the whole point of being original, but see what other people have created! Sometimes you'll get an amazingly original idea by seeing what other people have thought of! A good way to be original is to research different backstories of other characters.

Now, the most difficult part about an original backstory is, well, making it original! What I mean by original is to make it as different as possible from the majority of the fan characters out there! Like, how many 'Sonic's long lost sibling' characters are out there do you think? Well, they made a very odd TV show out of that idea, so obviously it's not too original. Secondly, it also helps with their design believe it or not! Example if you make your character from a different planet, then their clothing will obviously be different from a regular mobian! Place of birth, era they're born, even amount of money they possess helps to give ideas for a suitable design! You don't really want a regular citizen of Metropolis to wear a fancy-dancy outfit, that'd be a bit odd no? If they're a regular mobian, make sure to make an outfit that you would wear in public! Unless your character is the opposite gender, then I wouldn't suggest imagining that.that'd be weird.

Of course, that's not always the case! Their backstory doesn't necessarily define their personality, but it might help you think of personality traits easier.

For example, if their history if full of restrictions and not being allowed to go where they want, that'll probably mean that their personality will be adventurous and curious. Firstly, it helps you think about what your characters personality will be like. It helps me decide what kind of character I'm making! Is he/she normal? Supermobian? From another world? You have to be careful though, one wrong move and originality can easily go out the window! Here are some tips įirst things first, what's their background like? Backgrounds are important for a few reasons. I don't know how many people do this first, but I like to create a story first before designing my character.

Please do not think I am targeting you! I'm not. Any reference I make to a fan character is either to my own characters or totally made up. If any examples in the following text sound like one of your characters, it is pure coincidence.
