ヾ(^∇^) Hi! I am taking requests on making a diverse set of characters from across the globe!

So I have this story right?

Where a person between the ages of 10 to 19 are taken from their homes (Buy this rich English billionaire called Miss Byrne) across the globe to train in a military Academy hidden in Modern day Antarctica. All of them have abilities and powers (With ascetics to match) that (sorta) correspond to their culture. They are then used to train and become the next league of super-soldiers. The problem being…. I don't have enough idea's for all the countries.

It would mean the world to me if you could help me create and design characters that not only are diverse but also interesting. For example, here are my current two characters.

Name: Zuri Akitola
Country: Kenya
Age: 15
Appearance: Tall and skinny, Shaved head, dark skin with white dotted face paint and brown eyes
Power: Super Agility ( The Maasai are known to be very skilled runners and jumpers )
Clothing: Red Shuka with colourful beaded necklace
Weapon: A wooden quarterstaff (Maasai usually carry one)
Description: Zuri was taken to train at Antarctica only a few days ago, after her yurt village burned to the ground in a fire by terrorists. When she ran to go get help she was being surveyed by the Academy, who watched her run at speed to that of a cheetah through the Savannah. She was then picked up (against her will) in a army helicopter and escorted to the Academy from Miss Byrne's orders. Now training alongside other kids, Zuri has proved to be a more than capable fighter, who's speed and agility shine through in simulated battle training.

Name: Karma Chime
Country: Bhutan
Age: 11
Appearance: Short and Diminutive, Short spiky black hair, yellowy skin
Power: Healing Hands (The Bhutanese believe strongly in the art of cleansing the body and mind)
Clothing: Yellow Gho (Similar in design to a Japanese Kimono or Yukata) and brown sandals
Weapon: Bhutanese Dagger
Description: Miss Byrne found Karma in Bhutan when she was hearing the villagers talk off this so called "Miracle Boy" that could cure cuts and wounds from the touch of his hands. When she went to investigate, she ended up wandering into a monastery, with a bunch of villagers circling around a boy monk, all showing him their own injuries. Miss Byrne then payed the monastery off to take him to Antarctica and now he's learning the ways of a medic. Helpful and kind in nature, Chime as shown undying amounts of support to all his classmates, and had made a good friend in fellow student, Zuri.

If you could structure your character idea this way, I would be more than happy to read them!

Thank you so much (✿╹◡╹) - Sunny

@bubblegum

YOURE AWESOME!
Do a grecian girl whose powers are based off of gladiators and things. Give her a greek last name like zaharako or nikolauo.
Thanks!

@ElderGod-Carrots

Oh my stars please please please do an Aboriginal Australian with powers to talk to spirits. It comes from the Aboriginal Dreamtime and the belief that the entire world was made by their Ancestors way back in the very beginning of time. It is believed that the Spirits gave them their hunting tools and each tribe its land, their totems and their Dreaming.
Just a little history behind it! Thanks!

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

YES!!! OMG BOTH THOSE IDEAS ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH ⊂(・▽・⊂). I WILL DEF ADD THEM

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

I'll give like, the Greek girl a sword and shield, with long blonde hair and stunning blue eyes. She'll be called Athena and have really really good leadership skills and the ability of super strength and super bone density (Which she likes to believe is a gift from the Greek gods).

The Aboriginal guy (My Australian Homie) should have like a boomerang and the ability to implant images into peoples minds, making them see demon's and horrible visions. He'd be called Dingo, and he should have scruffy, unkept hair and a white body paint.

Thank you so much guys!

Name: Sakura Yamashi

Country: Japan

Age: 13

Appearance: Tall and lean, no muscles, pale but with rosy cheeks, long straight black hair

Power: Ability to control plants

Clothing: A top sort of like a kimono, still with the sleeves, but with a tight cropped top (Pink) and ripped blue jeans with drawings of plants on them. Red running shoes, and a Sakura flower in her hair (That gives her powers)

Weapon: A katana with green ribbon on the handle

Description: Sakura left her parents when she was 7, and has been living alone in the mountains ever since. A friend of Miss Byrne was on vacation, and they saw Sakura asleep in a tree. The friend introduced his/herself, but Sakura trapped her in a cage of vines. After escaping from the cage, he/she informed Miss Byrne, and she came immediately to find her. When she finally captured Sakura, she brought her to Antarctica. Sakura has since that made friends with almost everyone, and has started a greenhouse to not only train herself, but to grow and cook meals for the others. She has proved to be an excellent cook.

Side note: Sakura looks and seems small and weak at first, but she's really strong and has amazing potential.

P.S: I think you should try to make this a book and publish it. I know that I would read it!

Unlike many movies lead you to believe, greeks really have darkish olive skin, brown eyes, and dark brown or black hair. Just wanted to make it more accurate, you're doing great!!

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

@AshWillow That's an awesome idea! Thank you for your suggestion, I will definitely add her to the cast. I actually toyed around with Idea's for a Japanese character for a long time, but could not find a decent enough idea. This one however is PERFECT! A plant bender girl sounds awesome. I can already see her sprouting cherry blossoms out of the ground. Thank you so much again :D

Also cheers to you @Loops for improving my last suggestion. That will actually make it more accurate in terms of country of origin! Thanks!

Canadian. With Ice abilities. I don't really have any more than that, but I read through this and was thinking of my country (yes I am Canadian) and that's what came to mind.

@bubblegum

Just for an update, @TangerineSunset could you PM me my character's final template when you're finished? I'd like to check up on her, lol!

Be very careful while doing this. Lot's of research or you could improperly portray.

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

Ooooo….

A Canadian ice bender would be really cool to add. He'd wear a big furry jacket and long real intimidating, but inside just be a big marshmallow. He could like, summon ice walls to block off incoming fire whilst protecting his team. YES! Be like some sort of tanky character.

I will try my best to add as many of your idea's as I can to my story, add I will add the links to the character onto this page. I also will try to put in as much research as possible prior to their creation.

Thank you all for your help so far (◕‿◕✿) - Sunny

I would suggest looking into innuit history, or the traditions of the northern areas of Canada in terms of accuracy!

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

Yeah! I should give those traditional markings on the face. Would that be ok?

i'm an immigrant to canada, but what if the canadian wasn't an ice bender, what if he could communicate with animals that live in colder areas, like he'd just. swoop in while riding a moose and everyone would be like oh my g o d

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

HA HA Nice XD

It would go like:

Zuri - "Amaruq, can you get off your moose and help us fight the opposing side"
Amaruq - "Shh, Zuri. I told you before, don't yell, your scaring him…"

Idk man… :P

@hollow-boned

honestly i'd really love it if you made a romanian character who has witchcraft powers that mostly revolve around romanian superstitions (some traditional mothers have this sort of witchy lullaby thing that they sing while holding their kid's head in their lap to cure them of headaches.) also for the love of all that is good, stay away from dracula myths, that's an entirely foreign fabrication meant to bastardize Vlad Tepes, who was a super cool ruler a couple hundred years ago.
also just a tip, we're really feisty and most of us are tan with dark hair and eyes and sometimes other hair and eye colors.

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

Oh trust me. I do not want to use the first thing that came into my mind when creating a character from a particular nationality. That would be very boring. I would like to make it familiar, but at the same time unique.

You know what I mean?

But thank you for that. Just give me a while to think of the Romanian character please :)

Thx

(My mom, the originator of the idea, says think of snow white and Shrek. And Fiona, when the birds head explodes trying to match her.)

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

What's everyone's opinion on a witch doctor character?

I sorta have a design here:

I just don't know which culture she'd be… Any thoughts?

@hollow-boned

that is. very awesome. the eyes kinda remind me of the villain from princess and the frog.

Hope you like :D
