I give out ideas for free- a character creation help desk
Do you need a name? A hobby? An appearance? Well, drop them here and I'll give my (finally solicited) advice! Anything's fine, really- from what shoes they wear to their deepest, darkest fears to asking me to come up with an entire character concept.
Come up with a kid for me, I'm curious.
They destroyed so many things when they’re young. Hurted so many people, and a few animals, too. It wasn’t like they liked it- but the rage just overtook them. And sure, they could say that they’ve “grown out of it,” but even now, they couldn’t just bury all that anger under a cute aesthetic and the soft blankets they’ve knitted and thousands upon thousands of fake apologies. Some day, it’ll bubble out, but for now they just laugh and pray and say they’re sorry for who they used to be.
hmmm...what's my character's quirk?
They're bendy. Very bendy. And when they crack their knuckles, which they do a lot, it's just a tiny little bit scary how their fingers bend in a direction that they probably shouldn't.
Gimme one kiddo
They’ve never really known who they were. Ever since they were little, they loved the characters in the books and the TV screen so much that they became the characters themselves. One day they’re this, and another day they’re that. Every part of them is moldable- they change their wigs, they change their clothes, they change their voice, they change their gender, they change their personality. It’s tiring to stay the same person for long- not when there are so many others that they’d like to be like. Sometimes they feel guilty. Sometimes they feel like a liar. Sometimes they feel as if nobody will love who they really are, especially since they don't even know themselves. But high school’s the time for experimentation, right? So maybe they can settle on a more permanent character to be later, and continue with the wigs and lies this year.
tldr: I think I accidentally created a kinnie version of blaise whoops

Um... You're, uh, welcome?
I hope I did well
I'll take one, if you still have any!
Sure!
They were talented. Gifted. Special. Whatever you call it, they were really, really good at one thing. They’d like to think that it’s all their hard work ever since they were little, but their genes and/or their parents probably had a huge play in it. It isn’t really a super important or common thing, and it isn’t really something that most people would consider to be a huge achievement to be good at, but it’s been their whole life, what they woke up and worked and breathed for. They have a whole career planned around it. They base their entire identity around it. Some people say that they’re obsessed, and others say that they’re a freak, a weirdo, or maybe just a normal kid with a single hobby they spend too much time on, but fuck what everybody else says. They’re one of the best people they know when it comes to this one thing, and they have awards and trophies and their own pride to return to by the end of the day.

- Mom and dad always told them that ever since they could laugh, they did it all the time. It felt like a gift, sometimes, how happy they were! And, sure, sometimes people think that they’re faking it, or that they’re oblivious and naïve, or they’re suffering from a “major lack of empathy” or whatever, but the truth is that they just never really felt that sad before and they straight up couldn’t understand how people could just feel so negative all the time. Life has been great for them, and when things go wrong they just laugh it off and get over it- so why are other people complaining?
