Levi, the teacher, is a serious person, but also very friendly. He's an ambivert that also suffers from depression. He actually cares about his students (their well beings and futures), and wants to help foster their talents as their Art and Lit teacher.
Clownface is a homicidal maniac that is up for anything. He enjoys the sight of blood, torturing people, and seeing others in pain. Quick to anger, he is known to take his anger out on his victims.

Oh hecc Dice and Clownface would probably be the best murder duo ever-
Dice: I wanna meet this Clown boy, he sounds quite…. condemning.
I don't wanna know what you mean by that booboo.
Dice: You know ya do, Leukocyte!
Call me that again and I'll- 😡

How do y'all go about writing characters who are evil/monstrous/otherwise very antagonistic and don't have a relatable motive? I'm trying to figure out my big bad. A lot of people on his side have a good reason for joining, but I do want a few pure evil people in there, including the leader of the antagonists.

Hm, I mostly just pour all of my homicidal thoughts into one character, put on a villainous song, and wear dark colors.

I'm literally incapable of thinking how I want this villain to think lmao. I'm way too soft and empathetic, so it really is a difficult task. Like what I do know is that he has a son, who is horribly messed up because of him, but that's about all so far.

I'm not sure how he'd feel about working with someone else. He's likely to stab anyone in the back!
Okay so I actually need help with something. One of my characters is stuck playing a double life, on the good side he's playing a quiet healer, and on the "bad" side he plays a fricken badass General, that will whip you into shape faster than you can say supercalifragilistickexpealidosious. And I've been playing with him a bit, trying to decide if he should die at the end so that he can finally rest after over 80 years of fighting a war. Or if he just kind of disappears at the end where no one can find him so I can follow the story up with a seaqual type thing following him. I want to know what you would like reading more. A war torn general/healer finally getting to rest, or a badass fighter traveling the lands helping people as he goes. (That's what he would do if I followed up with the seaqual idea.)
Personally, I'd go for the latter…. Write for yourself. Do what makes you happy.
So you're counting votes to make your decision? Interesting!
I've done a coin flip for the psychic teacher murder story to decide for me before, and was pleased with the result! Lol
This is an excerpt from it, and is where I did a coin toss for my choice.
"How about I let a coin decide on what I should use to cut off your leg? If it lands on heads I'll use the knife, but if it lands on tails I'll use the chainsaw. If it somehow lands on the side I'll let you keep your leg." Clownface fished a quarter from his pocket, balanced it on his thumb and finger, and flipped it. Liby watched as the coin turned in the air, and plummeted toward the floor. Clownface walked to where the coin landed on the floor, and bent down to pick it up. He put it back in his pocket, and walked over to the chainsaw.

Mine all have a LOT of different plotlines and characters so they're pretty difficult to describe….
group
Ohhh @The_Warrior you could always try to make it more open-ended if you wanted and decide later whether you want to follow up on it or not. I honestly love both endings, but I also prefer the latter of the two, I think.

I know Clownface's motives, one of them being enjoyment. The other one, the main one, is something that I don't want to give away because it's also one of my big plot twist points…. If you wish to, go ahead and pm me, I'd be delighted to help!

Hey,what are the weirdest outfits your characters have ever worn?
Even though it actually makes sense for him, Clownface wears a white onesie jumpsuit, a tattered rainbow wig, and a mask made from different pieces of his first victims faces that are all from different clowns.

That….. is fucking legendary. Dice might dress like either a cryptid hooker or in Dante's stolen clothes with the sleeves torn off, or clothes from the corpses he made, or drag. Or literally anything else it just has to be weird.

Robin has a belt that has a bunch of tiny vials and bottles hanging from it so they can hoard shiny things.

I feel like I really need to bring more of that kind of element into my story. They’re all usually wearing normal clothes or armor.
Fiera has probably worn some pretty bizarre stuff though, being a princess and all.
Hey,what are the weirdest outfits your characters have ever worn?
I don't really give my characters really crazy outfits very often either. Andor is my character whose wardrobe is the most…. out there, but it's still pretty tame compared to some of what's being posted here. But, if you want some noteable examples, here's some:
- When he's first introduced into the story he's his work clothes (a white polo shirt, and black pants), with a red hoodie that he wears literally all the time, and a fox toque (complete with ears and a face) and converse that he's drawn all over with a sharpie.
- He has a shirt that says "Fly, bi, ready to die" and someone drew him wearing it once
- He has a ton of t-shirts from Norwegian tourists shops because his parents keep sending them as Christmas/ birthday gifts.
Yeah, not really that weird but that's also about as weird as it gets with my characters (so far, at least).
Kira found a nice hat that she liked in the upper world so she keeps it speared through the spikes on her head.

Me, pulling out about a thousand of my characters weirest outfits: Which one?
Anyhow, my chaotic bastard child Adyn has color shifting scarf that floats around him and sometimes screams.
i am writing a story where in order to get powers you have to go through a death of someone else or a VERY close encounter with death for yourself. and i tried to make them kind of realistic heros bcs not all heros are adult, brave, and they have no flaws.the plot line is you meet these characters and then they have to go fight incoming invaders called trixes.(My friend (the other author of this book) made them up and i think they are like orcs or something like that.) So my homegirl Ara is a 14 year old girl who lives with an angel of a mother and a devil of a father, like in the chapter about Ara he tries to kill j\her by bashing her brains out in an iron cooking pan. She and her mother and sister flee to the beach houses known as Sandwaves. there she meet a girl named Malia. The two become inseparable until suddenly on a nice boating trip gone wrong, Malia jumps in the way of the boom (So it wont hit Ara) and it knocks her into the stormy sea. so after watching her first best friend drown (And fail at saving her) Ara goes home only to pass out in her mothers lap and sleep for about a week. so when she wakes up she has to suffer through a horrible funeral and then she goes home and cries. so her mother and sister are out of the house and she is doing laundry when she hears a voice calling to her as a queen. she follows it outside.(Which is a big step for her up until now she did not was to look/feel/drink water) finds out that she can control the water. at first she thinks she is dreaming until her mom comes home and can see it too. she this freaks her out and then her mom and sister are TERRIFIED of her so then she flees to abandoned hut nearby and accidentally causes a hurricane. so she runs to a nearby city. you can read about her here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ht4hD3lcB24nlwpcKdxONAilEDQltVE3sSRyL6YSYg0/edit?usp=sharing ARA
Skylan is a nervous 15 year old teen who has MAJOR anxiety for no reason. he lives on the other end of Sandwaves and lives with Empathic father, worrisome mother, and best friend brother. so he grows up really close to his brother. And one day they hear that a sudden storm has shown up out of nowhere and they have to create a force-fields bubble around their mud/clay house. so they are all staring and making the bubble and suddenly Skylan lets his anxiety get the best of him and they lose the bubble and she hurricane comes crashing through the house and kills his brother. his parents go missing and he is alone. so he travels to a close by city and when he meets Ara he almost immediately has a crush on her. and he is a huge nerd ( but i gave him no glasses and braces bcs not all nerds look that way.) and you can read about him here

Okay! I have like one of the greatest characters that I have ever made. He has the most tragic back story, and everyone who knows him hates him. But he is super nice and caring, and he likes to help people. He lives away from people but likes to travel around. Because of the planet he lives on he can travel between many different planets. He likes to travel to different places and learn all about other races cultures. WHO ELSE THINKS THAT HE IS AMAZING JUST BASED OFF THAT???
That sounds like a pretty cool dude, my dude.
It sounds unrealistic. Why would the people who know him hate him?
