    Although I kinds liked MM!, it did kinda' suck. And shouldn't everyone have known what sadism was before MM! came out? unless of course like 10 or something.

    I figured that's what that meant.

    Anyway, actually, no. Like I (think I) said in the introduction, the character's personalities are completely different from the real-world people they coincidentally look like. For instance, the person this S Tsundere character looks like is, in fact, just your regular, ordinary, obsessive-compulsive nervous wreck.

    I DO believe I may know some S Tsundere people, though. However, I'm not entirely sure if they qualify. Call them "S-Tsundere: Light", I guess...actually, that's a stupid term for it.

  9. AH! Body types!

    A well designed character should have a body to match or contradict his/her personality, as well as a good well-established facial structure. It pains me to say that 90% anime character designs are unfortunately lacking in these areas and so therefore most fans of anime fans fail to notice how much they can matter. I'd recommend looking into it a little if you want to design a character or two.

  10. Give them other exterior traits to distinguish from each other apart from eye/hair colour. For instance, the Slacker can have badly done hair because he is too lazy to do so. The voice of reason can have glasses and the teaser sharp eyes. Just use generic colours because if every character has such distinct tilesets it will look weird indeed.

  12. I loved your character descriptions, I think you have real talent. I've given the character descriptions a go. I'm a writer myself and I've accidently and inappropriately based characters on people in my life so I know how it is.

    Character A:

    Shoulder length lank, greasy black hair. Unshaven beard. Dark brown piercing eyes.

    Character B:

    Long wavy red hair, wears a lot of make-up. Light blue eyes, hinting at a coldness of personality.

    Character C:

    Smartly kept blonde, slightly long hair. Glasses and green eyes.

    No she won't because she doesn't exist.

  14. Change the two male characters into girls. Problem solved and your story becomes infinitely better.

    Or you can just make sure the rest of their physical details are noticeably different than you and your friends'.

    Your friend's girlfriend has red eyes?

    I said they looked inexcusably similar, not identical. XD

    Part of the problem, actually; the exterior traits I gave them were also rather similar. For instance, the main character had shaggy hair, I have shaggy hair (I also have a beard, so taking the whole "unkept" thing one step further would be counter-productive). The best friend HAD glasses (and I would still like to give him glasses) but the problem there is that MY best friend also wears glasses. In addition, the Char-B, the female lead, had a kind of goth-motif going on due to the fact that she's a witch (the characters' costuming is rather extravagant and literal, and there's really no way to make an extravagant and literal witch that ISN'T Gothic in SOME way), the key problem there being that my best friend's girlfriend has a goth style herself, whether she admits it or not.

    I could go back and redo ALL these characters' designs from scratch, but, like I said, I think just changing up the hair and eye color would be easier.

    Actually, about that. Sancom, should I change Char-C into a girl?
