Those people didn’t choose to have brown eyes, and if they had a choice, I doubt many people would pick to.

Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.
December 12, 2023 at 6:07 pm #169343Brown eyes can be really pretty! I feel like I’ve maybe overused them a bit, though, because I think it’s realistic to have characters with them since they’re most common. Oh, and I forgot about hazel. I think I’ve used that one before too.

📚 Appreciator of BooksDecember 12, 2023 at 6:08 pm #169346December 12, 2023 at 6:09 pm #169347I try to write a ton of different characters. Mainly all are extroverted like me. My main character in my current WIP though, is an introvert and I thought it would be a slight challenge and fun to do a different personality than my own. I have another character (as a few of you know) Hugo, he is slightly bad, but still good. I based his looks and actions off a few people I know. Personally the character I feel most like is Vikii, an extrovert who sometimes says things she shouldn’t and gets into tons of trouble, she’s the easiest to write because I just pour part of myself onto the page (Its a writer thing 🤣).
About looks… I have a whole bunch of blond and brown haired teens. The occasional black, red or white and the dyed hair (mainly green and blue). For some odd reason I dont have any with my hair color which is a sort of deep gold. And eye color, mainly blue and brown because its most common. Sometimes green or purple.
Age range is anything from 0-100, but I like to do teens around 14-20.
Thats all I can think of now, Ill post more later!

December 12, 2023 at 6:10 pm #169348Hey, awesome! We’re twins xD
lol yeah!!
That’s really interesting! I don’t know if I’ve honestly tried to write from the perspectives of extroverted characters before … I guess I struggle with character development a little, so my voice tends to just cross stories but not become personalized for the character, which I know isn’t excellent xD.
Mm… I get that too… I mean, when rp with my siblings, they come off as introverted sometimes…
Wow, white hair on younger people? I guess in fantasy or science fiction, it’s understandable xD But I’m assuming your charries aren’t white-haired with age, because you mentioned you mostly write 13-36.
lol yeah. White hair is kinda a signature sign of our (my siblings and my) characters being from the enemy country (called Ethrin)…

December 12, 2023 at 6:13 pm #169350As far as personalities go, I think most of my characters are often a lot like me in some ways, but then polar opposite in others. I think it’s easier to write characters that are very much like you and characters that are not like you at all than any shade in between that.

📚 Appreciator of BooksDecember 12, 2023 at 6:16 pm #169351That’s good! Yeah, I feel like I should try that, too. I wouldn’t say my characters are all super introverted, but generally they’re more quiet than loud, unless I’m just trying to have them say something to move the plot forward.
Oh, that’s awesome! I like characters like that too XD Yeah, I think I get what you mean.
I’ve never heard it described like that–deep gold– before, but I think my hair might be close to that, too. Cool way to say it, though xD.

December 12, 2023 at 6:18 pm #169353🙂 Im not sure how else to describe it. Gold seems to fits it perfectly. Neither blond or brown.

December 12, 2023 at 6:27 pm #169355HEYYYYYYYY
thats a really good question!!!!!
I’ve never thought about it, but all of my characters, while not identical, are very similar in thinking and in character.
hair colors I choose tend to vary. I always make it a color I would love to have so it’s usually brown or ginger and occasionally blonde.
And I just realized that all my different MCs eyes are blue 😱🤣And most of my MCs are between the age 17 -20.
I didn’t realize I had so many trends!!*starts making more characters*
