Character Brainstorm/Critique Thread
Within this thread you'll be able to write up a description of the characters that you want to use within a story. Try to write as much as you can about them. Note that you're not required to have a picture of them, a good description is good enough.The reason behind this is that most likely you'll want to get feedback from other members about your characters, whether they come across as annoying or simply something that people don't want to read. Unless you're intentionally trying to create a character that is just the best at every single thing for reasons like poking fun at that (Otherwise known as Mary/Gary Stu, which can be very irritating for people to read) this thread can help stop this.
Remember, your characters are going to be regular people. Even if they have super powers or some kind of invulnerability everyone has things they're not good at. Everyone has something about their personality that isn't good, that can make people dislike them. They can also have things they're "stupid" at.
So feel free to use this thread to check your characters out and get feedback on whether they're people that other members will actually be interested in. You can also get new ideas to use for your character.
If there's only specific things about your character that you want feedback on (Such as perhaps whether their personality comes across as too "peppy" or "emo", or something else you may not have wanted in them) please make sure to mention that so people know what to help you with.
