My character Minghao is of my own creation. Â From all my RP characters I've played in various MMOs, I wanted her to be of purely innocent. Â Not exposed to the lewd filth, like she was living under a rock all these years. Â Didn't want anyone to try to weasel their way to be in an instant relationship with my character. Â Had quite of people in the past that took IC = OOC. Â So that brings bad business. Â And if a character along the road wanted to get with my character, they have to work it and deal with her innocent charms. Â Ming loves helping people and working on her hobbies contently.

lol Nako can definitely be... zany. It's somewhat anchored though, by her moral compass. She's not quite as amoral as Starbuck can be, but she certainly has her penchant for ignoring rules!

For Zutoto she was based a decent bit off of Samwise form the Lord of the Rings books, in that she was a rather reluctant 'adventurer' and mainly knows cooking and home keeping and such, but found that those talents were important to adventurers to keep their hearts strong. She also has a pinch of Ge Xuan from Chinese history, since her view of magic is a heavily Taoist inspired one and I've always enjoyed playing mystics and inventors.

My Miqo'te character was heavily based on kinda a blend of Tyrion Lannister and John Snow from, obviously, Game of Thrones. He's a 'bastard' in the sense that he's born from the two clans in a relationship that amounted to an affair, and was heavily looked down on by his family that raised him. Basically he's kinda a hybrid of the two character's outlooks on their low status in their family. He's got a heavy amount of 'fuck it then I'll get drunk and see the world' but there's also a strong side of him that wants to bring glory to his name and find a place in the world other than the family disgrace, even if it means abandoning the family he knew. He's also got a healthy amount of Zoro in him, because he's basically gonna be my excuse to write flamboyant adventurey stuff.

Take one real name and add:

One cup of tragic hero Cless Alvein

Two tablespoons of noble idealistic Sir Bowen from Dragonheart

I didn't make my character with a specific character in mind, but I did make my character with a series of character archetypes in mind. Some more flattering than others.

You got your boisterous bruiser archetype:

You got your Heroic Wannabe archetype:

Then there's some Plucky Comic Relief:

And just about all of the Playing With Fire archetype:

Much <3 for Cless!

I didn't really base Armi or Loki off anyone, but their are simlarities of character.

Armi is like Fred Burkle of "Angel" crossed with Annie of "Community"

Let me explain the Fred thing in Gifs.

And a Quote:
â€œCan I say somethinâ€™ about destiny? Screw destiny! â€˜Cause destiny is just another word for inevitable. And nothing is inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye and say, â€œYouâ€™re evitable!â€

YUP.

Loki is Zoe Washburn from "Firefly" and a LOT Faye Valentine from "Cowboy Bebop"

I do actually have a rage-reaction macro. Siha Xinkei has seen it, its quite dramaful Big Grin

. Honestly you would have to meet him and see how mellow he is until something sets him off. I don't think I based him off them as much as he has similar traits. Erik is basicly the same character I've had in every game and mmo since Neverwinter. Hell since FF1 on the NES, "ERIK" was my Fighter's name.

Sometimes, I think this guy inadvertently influenced Val a bit.

Tev is very much a Grumpy Bear:

Prefering to isolate himself from others in pursuit of knowledge:

With a wall of Stoicism that only a few have managed to break through:

But can be prone to Deadpan Snark:

But it's only a Jerkface Facade; Tev has deep empathy for the weak, and seeing those people suffer will press his Berserk Button. Then this happens:
