Great vid! For my characters, I usually come up with a short idea that barely counts as a sentence. For an example let’s say I randomly thought, “feral Egyptian cat”. From that I’d research thing from Egyptian times, and then let’s say I found the common fact that cats were seen as gods in Egypt. Ok so there’s now a feral Egyptian cat seen as god. So what if the “feral” part was seen from people as a blood thirsty god that cannot be tamed? What if the people take advantage of this for war? That’s a good start. And in ancient Egypt, hema means “blood”, so we name the cat Hema. With that, you would expand upon the based trait, and where it was potentially discovered from. That’s a good way to find out the backstory, but you may find other ways of creating one. For simplicities sake, the backstory is that Hema was found on the streets. This can also allow for certain enemies of things Hema saw on the streets. Who are those enemies? How would they affect Hema? With that, the oc is made, and possibly others that fit along with it. The final result is Hema the Egyptian god, who is really a feral street cat. They were taken in, and use their worshippers to take out their enemies. However, the people take advantage of the cat, using it for an excuse for war. Hema must now find out how to tame their subjects, so that they can achieve their own goals. Though the language barrier of it being a cat makes it hard, so they’ll have to try other ways. Done. With that you go from a simple concept to a character. Of course, there are other things I didn’t mention, but this comment is getting long lol. Bye!
