I'm writing an Avengers fanfiction and need to test out my characters. I have a general basis for the first few. Basically, they are all children of the Avengers. And if I forgot an Avenger, Lordy, tell me and I will add them (hopefully!)!

What do you mean by testing them? Like fleshing out their personalities more?

Yes, basically. I want to figure out each of them individually.

Well, here's some things that have worked for me:

  • Think about what kind of personalities you need for your story. Like, for one of my stories I felt like the two main characters were too serious, so I added in another sillier, more laid back character. That sort of thing.
  • Find some silly or interesting questions (or think of some on your own) and think about how your characters would answer them. Or even just take some quizzes and answer from the perspective of your character(s). It might not give you a perfectly fleshed out character, but it might help you figure out which direction you want to go in.
  • Draw inspiration from people that you admire (whether it be people you're close with, celebrities, or even fictional characters) What traits do you like about those people? What do you not like about them (because we're not all perfect)?
  • Think about their backstories (if you have them figured out at this point), and how it could shape their personalities.
  • Try writing a few short scenes from a first person perspective (unless you're already using first person, then ignore this). I normally prefer 3rd person, but I've found that some of my characters personalities shine through a little more when I write them in the first person.
  • Just start writing. It might not be perfect, but your characters personalities might start to develop as you write and you can always go back to change things you don't like.
  • You can always just google positive or negative personality traits. It's not as fun, but it might give you a few ideas at the very least.

Thank you for this! It's really helpful! Are you a Marvel fan?

@Starfast group

Not really. I'm not really a huge fan of superhero movies, but I wouldn't go as far to say that I dislike them because there have been a few that I did enjoy. Glad I was able to help though.

Yup, thanks!

I am up for testing if you are still looking for volunteers! I am a huge Marvel fan and have read enough fanfic to fill a library. I have seen Infinity War part one, so if you haven't please tell me sooner rather than later.

I have seen it! :P

@Ca1iCa1--Is--Tired

Yay! I am ready for testing then, as long as you don't mind a couple of my OCs for pretty much everywhere dropping in from time to time to comment on things?

Ok. Do you want to do it here or on PM?

@Ca1iCa1--Is--Tired

Here please! Just easier for me, caus I might be able to convince some others to help too.

(That's fine, lez go! First up… Sanda Rogers. Daughter of Steve Rogers/Captain America. Again, if you have any suggestions, please add! It's going to be like rps with each character, so, yeah…)

Sandra strolled simply down the street taking everything in. The bright ads, the blazing taxis, the never-ending bustle; there was no place like New York City!

@Ca1iCa1--Is--Tired

(I am probs always going to be playing my boy Orion, who's mom may or may not be an assassin. He is a bubbly sinnamon roll with russet cat ears and tail, earring studs, a bell on one ear, and colorful bows on his tail)

Orion walked happily through the streets of New York. Sun shining, he smiles to himself. Today is a good day. Looking around, he takes in all of the smells and sights, ignoring those glaring at him. An ear twitches at one of the comments thrown his way, one of many "mutants shouldn't be walking the streets, we don't want them here." That knowledge doesn't make the words sting any less.

Sandra noticed that people kept glaring at her. She was very confused until someone hissed "Mutant" as they walked by. Her skin prickled with fear. She couldn't look that much like her father, could she? (Orion is walking behind her)

@Ca1iCa1--Is--Tired

Seeing the woman in front of him tense in fear, the scent acrid, Orion steps forward. With an apologetis smile he looks at her with blue eyes sad, and his cat ears twitching. "Don't worry miss, they aren't glaring at you, an they never do much more than talk. Can't blame them for that."
(I gotta go to sleep, it's late here)

Sandra was startled for an instant, but then she relaxed. Slightly. "Oh yes. They were saying some quite rude things about… you."
(Ok bye!)

( HEllo, I heard Avengers and I have a Character that might be up for this, if I am allowed.)

( Question: Is this like the second generation of the Avengers or will our characters be fighting besides them?)

person_off

(Second Gen, and I'm going to use multiple characters throughout the course of this.)

( Oh ok, I'll join ya.)

(I guess my character would be the daughter of Bucky Barnes, so can she and your character be friends?)

person_off

(Here's the thing, I already have the characters made. I just need to rp with them a little to figure out their personalities.)

person_off
Deleted user

(So are you going to give me a character to rp with?)

person_off
Deleted user

(You can use an OC or something if you want)

person_off
Deleted user

(Confusion, so I make my own character or are you going to give me one?)

person_off
Deleted user

(I'm going to rp as all of my characters in turn. You can use an OC. Once I've got a good idea of Sandra's personality, I'll change characters.)

(Oh ok then.)
