So I've finished one of the three cats, the snep. I still need to figure out so much for each of these characters, I still even need a name for him and them! Originally I was thinking of making his hair white or light colored, but decided to do something else and make it dark colored, I like the slight purple-ness. I'm not even sure if he should be a water mage or fire mage. I mean, a snep would probably control water stuffs like snow, but he could use fire instead to keep himself warm and toasty in the cold. If I keep him water, he could battle Jen, (and I guess technically Aaron) with water but would it make it more interesting for him to use fire? Maybe earth? Argh, I've gotta get a better grip on who he is first I think.
Trying to think up things about him: What I do know is he's more no-nonsense, serious, and focused on his objective than most character's I've made. What's his objective? Carrying out his mission during the course of the story he's in. He won't be distracted, he will admittedly favor a more upfront method of dealing with it, rather than the more thought out plan from the assassin feline. His background? He's from the land of the SNEPS! Or more specifically, Sneps are found in the northern (cold) parts of the feline territory and in parts of the mountains near the peaks.
Aki: "'He's from a region as cold as his heart' There ya go, you're welcome."
That's not too bad, although will it give off the right impression of him? He's a bit cold, but not all heartless.. Though he may not always see the friends around him as friends.. A bit reckless at times, but will think out things most of the time.. But back to his background specifically: He's from the mountains (I was thinking of saying far northern part, but he'll use his main magic +Earth, which is needed there.) Is that where he met the middle feline? Yes! Not childhood friends entirely? But close-ish, known for quite a while. What about his parents? They were highly regarded, higher ups. In what? Their society of sneps? Or more broad? Hmm, I don't want to have to figure out the entirety of feline/snep society just yet, but leave it at "high up", perhaps wealthy as well? Maybe. But his higher status led him to be a bit more cocky, "above" everyone else, but not everyone? Just when he "knows" that he's better than them for sure. Adding to this, since he's a feline, and felines hate wolves (especially) he'll always think himself highly compared to other species (all of them). Will he look down on other felines? From what I said in the previous line, I think he should look down on most others? Unless they prove themselves to be his equal in some way, essentially. I think that'll be fine for the moment for his character, it's a good base to build off of.
So that's how I think up a characters.. Just a chat between me and Akire essentially.. Leaving a few loose threads to come back to and expand upon later. Thoughts? Suggestions? Also I won't be uploading the felines to FA until I complete all 3 so I can upload them in a row.
