Opinions on your own Main Character

I'll give thoughts on my two currently shown MCs. I have 1 more that hasn't appeared yet.

Elliot - She's a brash young woman out to prove herself. She carries some frustration from her childhood but succeeded and has some survivor bias because of it. She's kind of similar in personality to my girlfriend now that I think about it. Can't sit still, needs to be moving forward. The main difference is that my gf is more stable whereas Elliot pinned her hopes on a longshot and through luck and talent succeeded once. We'll see how long this mindset can hold up.

Atticus - He's a very competent hard working young man with a lot of pressure to live up to his father's renown as a Runner. His father is a veteran and occasionally participates in "bull" fights for the optics and for the show of it. Atticus isn't any more talented than anyone else but he's had much better education and training than Elliot and he's a competent guy who has worked for his success but has to deal with standing in his father's long shadow.

The two of them and the third character were close friends throughout adolescence. Elliot and Atticus met by chance on a day he, trying to get away from his responsibilities for a day when he was young and went to the lower(poor) tiers of the tower in Summerloch.

This is my main character, Mikoto Marzipan, she's cringe and cute

My MC is a demon lady named Lucy, who is super sweet and playful, but doesn't really know how to do her job right and it gets her into trouble a lot.

My main character Felix is just a lost, little puppy who likes to have things his way, but it doesn't usually work out that way. He asks too many questions and can sometimes just be outright annoying, but I love him anyway.

As a pretty big fan of my own work... I love my boys to death.
Both the good and the bad in them, and how they work to try and fix themselves.

I love how Azreth actively tries to calm himself down when he is dealing with his mates as opposed to doing the thing he does with everyone else which is just insult and bully them away from him. It also leads him to show 'his real self' only to his closest friends, and you get to see the big, silly and insecure dofus that lives inside the arrogant asshole he makes himself out to be.

I love Grey's overall style, how he is an incredibly skilled and wise man that can mcgyver his way through anything, but breaks down into a blabbering mess when it comes to relying on others and showing his feelings. How simple things we do on a daily basis like saying 'i love you' to someone we care about, he struggles a lot with... Because that makes it way more special when he does manage to put his feelings across.

And finally the little MC, Vernon, I absolutely admire him, his quiet resolution to be a good person even in the face of downright evil, his desire to improve and better himself and also how he tries and help others become the best version of themselves (sometimes even going to far in that and coming out as an annoying meddling brat), the clever way in which he tries to balance everyone's opnion and come up with a middle ground that satisfies everyone, and how he always fights thinking five steps ahead because he never wants to hurt his opponents... And I genuinely feel sad whenever he breaks down, he knows life will never be as perfect as he tries as make it to be, and that existential dread is something i can relate to on a fundamental level, because it's something I dealt with for most of my life.

I have two main characters so I'll do both of them.

Mina/Daniel- (Yes she has two names) She's a young woman/man who clearly can't control her anger. She is really kind and talkative. I feel like I might later hate her (even though she's a main character) just because she can be selfish and annoying at some points. She loves to have things her way and she can be very competetive at some times.

Jay/Kayla- (He also has two names) He is a young man/woman like Mina. They're about the same age. He asks a lot of questions and is always clueless but without him the story would just be boring. He is definitely my favorite character.

Here's my story

My MC is a typical kind of overpowered anime character. The only thing is, he's kind of an idiot who rushes into things without thinking them through. So he ends up getting his shit rocked despite his power.

Julian, the MC from The Ghoul, is honestly a fucking degenerate and... almost went into spoiler territory
Honestly, I don't have that much appreciation for my own MC, but I guess it's par for the course of making this specific brand of horror, although I guess this doesn't make for good publicity of my own work huh?

Honestly, I feel like my main character is pretty bland. At least compared to my other characters that outshine him by a lot. He is not a full mary sue, but he does have the furrowed eye always serious syndrome. Sometimes he tries to crack a joke and it just falls flat. There are other times though where he does show lots of character, anger, fear, intelligence, and humanity. So, he is not all that bad. But I do believe that I will need to dig deeper into his character to make him more interesting to the reader.

I don't have a specific customized picture that I'm happy with for now, but there are some characters that I found online that kind of look like him.

Here is a link to my story if you guys are interested though.

Name: Diarem Wilson

He has a little bit complicated personality. First, he was only a hollow body then he turns into a happy normal kid but slowly rots and changes into a different person. I love how he doesn't surrender after all that happened to him and still searches for the meaning of life. At least one thing never changes and it is that he will defend what is precious to him.

Character Name: Kôra Halin.
In his first appearances, he looks like a sweet, overly-polite, harmless and reserved boy that you would assume a little from him. However, later on he is revealed to be volatile and shows more aggressive, possessive, and destructive parts of his personality. The culture which "Indoctrinated" him does not help.
I personally do not like him, and think of him as heavily flawed. I would touch him with a stick meters away, and question the guardian who raise this kid. He acts impulsively without thinking, jumping into conclusion, and unpredictable; which are he reasons he got his ass kicked several times.

Name: Generic Stickguy

He's a deconstruction of characters like sonic the hedgehog. I don't want to spoil too much.

My MC, Mary Franzese, is very much a reckless idiot. Very egoistical and well- a bich. But she's super fun to write since she's always trying to pick a fight, no matter the circumstances or state she's in.

My main character is simply known as The Raven.

At first glance she’s the archetypal badass female warrior, but as soon as she opens her mouth in a sincere way people realize that’s far from the truth, that she is just a brat.

She’s a very capable fighter, however; but that is the result of her pragmatism. She’s aware of her weaknesses and short comings and has looked for ways in which to cover for them since day one. She's also not above running away from a losing fight.

She doesn't take pride in being the strongest (she clearly knows she isn't), but does so in her femininity which is often questioned, this has led her to masks her insecurities with a sharp tongue.

My intention with the character was to have a female protagonist that was capable, but also, one that clearly presented the flaws a teenage girl would have to overcome.

Clara Astley (aka Cha Soo-hyun): My female MC is confident, strong-headed, and very stubborn to the point where you're just exasperated with her relentless decisions. But at the same time, she's very empathetic and goes out of her way to help others when she doesn't need to. She's the type of character where you can't really describe her in one word. xD

Kim Joo-hyuk: Hmm. I feel like my male MC is always misunderstood by his cold and aloof demeanor. He's too hard-headed in his ways since it's the most comfortable and a sure way to not get hurt by others who could potentially betray him. Though, he does become a bit friendlier to others once he starts to open his heart to the female MC. He's definitely the awkward, shy type who lacks in social interaction.

Aya appears to be the stereotypically strong and aggressive, female character. However, she is a fragile soul with a heart that’s full of love and compassion for those she cares about.

I can’t spoil much since we haven’t gotten to her backstory yet in the latest chapters, but she is someone who’s afraid to open up to people due to a past trauma. She’s mostly a loner who enjoys her own company for majority of the time, but deeply yearns a real connection and bond with someone.

As for my opinion of her, I understand how hard it is for her to regain her trust in people once again. But I admire the fact that she does not push people away just because of her past trauma. She is cautious, but at the same time allows people (especially Rima-2nd MC. Hopefully she will open up to Kaito too - 3rd MC) to get close to her, as long as they don’t appear to have bad intentions.

Here is a picture of Aya(long hair) with Rima (pig tails)
