you are my life now
hi, i don't have a character to get feedback on just yet, which is why it's not in that section, but i do need advice.
before joining this site i didn't do a whole lot of OC RP, and the OCs that i do have are two years old and cringeworthy. i'm redoing them as well as adding to my character 'collection' to have variety. i have a few questions that i hope some of you may be able to answer?
what are some basic things i should/need to include on a character sheet? i know some are more elaborate than others, but i want to start (or restart) off simple and work my way up. are there any good templates/lists out there that you recommend? what does and does not make a good character? what do you guys use as inspiration to come up with characters/personalities? i feel like the things i come up with are usually too cliche, lmao. is it appropriate for me to create and use a character with things i do not identify with (such as a different race or sexuality than i am)? i'm particularly concerned with that last question because i don't want to appropriate anything or portray anything incorrectly.
i hope this isn't too overwhelming! thank you!
