I always find the threads related to the evaluation of characters interesting, so I thought it would be fun to see what other creators had to say about the best qualities in their main protagonist.
In my series Flint Walker, I would say Flint's strongest trait would be his loyalty to his friends, as well as his creativity. I would love to hear what your character's strongest personality traits are! Feel free to post a link to your series as well!
Here's a link to my series if you want to check it out!

This is so fun but it would be spoiler coz my comic is just began, there's Alot to see in future :slight_smile:
Hope you enjoy and support mine :slight_smile:
Subbed yours!

Though I didn't full fledgedly written my main character I like how the main character is cynical and confused which makes him unintentionally funny. Here's my work

Hello!
Subbed yours!
Your novel seems to be interesting, am gonna read it >3
Check out mine too, hope you'll enjoy it :slight_smile:

For my main character, Rip Vykirson, I'd have to say it's his determination and drive. He doesn't quit, even when faced with a being beyond his scope. Or when his power is about to be stolen from him.
He can get scared, or overwhelmed, but he still keeps going forward regardless.

Determination is always something I seek to portray in his eyes in every single picture I draw of him.

Well mine just started but I guess her confusion or lack of embarrassment. (confusion because after dying she woke up in another dimension so most things around her did not exist from where she came)

I think for Genji it's his ruthless nature coupled with his determination. He has a job to do and he'll do it. No matter what.

For Xander his most admirable trait is the one that no one in the story believes he's got: restraint.


I mean, he does redecorate a little hardcore but that's just interior design.

Joe Flamingo
is incredibly stubborn and rebellious. It's arguably his best traits and his worst depending on who you ask. He marches to the beat of his own drum which I think is an admirable trait. His stubbornness allows him to stand back up whenever he's knocked down. Essentially the strength of his Will is superhuman level.

Rhunal, center, is quite persistent. But it comes with a joy of exploring the unknown. Certainly good traits for an adventurer. It's a dangerous world, but she has a good time of it.

For my main character Luca Vincenzo, I'd say its his bluntness, it is also his greatest weakness since it stems from his narcissism and as a result rubs people the wrong way, but at the same time he can lift people up and encourage them in a round about way.



HAHAHAHAHA

I’m sorry. My mc has basically no admirable traits.She’s technically the main protag, but she’s actually the stories main villain. If I had to settle on one trait she can be pretty loyal to people that she befriends

Novus is intelligent and very dedicated to his cause, even if he is scared shitless.

Callis is honorable to the fault, almost to his own detriment.

Pitch isn't afraid to change his mind. It's a small thing that I like to believe has a significant impact. The ability to change his mind rather than always staying the course means if he feels his current path is leading somewhere bad, he'll always allow himself to turn back around. He doesn't believe in a black and white world. He doesn't believe things stay the same. He evaluates situations and decides things as he must but never holds himself to blanket obligations.

On the flip side, he's smart enough to know when he shouldn't change his mind as well. He has the conviction to stick with hard decisions but a realistic mindset enough to be more than a person who blindly sticks with something even after it's been disproven.

Well, the most admirable trait of my main protagonist, Jessie. Is how caring she is to others despite being hurt by them. Never letting her unpleasant experiences make her into what others want her to be and staying true to herself. Having flaws as anyone else would have but keeps going no matter how difficult.

Something that makes me proud, to know she isn't the bravest, the funniest but the nicest person one'll meet.

This is a trait shared among many of my protagonists, and the reason it's common to them is somewhat spoiler-y but; when faced with a choice between what is right and what is easy, they will square up and choose what is right.

Even at great personal cost.

They may be scared, they may be heartbroken by what they stand to lose, but they will ultimately choose the good of the many over their own desires, and that's what makes them what they are.

Kiki is incredibly loyal to her friends, yes, even to the ones she made merely days ago.

For Aina, I think her most admirable trait is that after everything she's seen, after everything she's gone through, she still gives a damn about people :slight_smile:

You have a lot of episodes and not enough subscribers, my friend. Hopefully my sub goes a long way for you and hopefully I can find the time to start reading your series soon!

For my main character, Rob, I think his best trait is his optimism. No matter how bad things may be, he usually finds a way to look on the bright side. Sometimes he's more cynical, though, but afterwards he eventually recognizes through self-reflection or the people around him that his negativity didn't help anything. It's a common trait in protagonists, probably, but it means a lot to me since it's a quality I'm striving for.


Dawn is selfless

each of my main heroes all have kind hearts ,and a great sense of justice, they have seen and done great evil ,they have suffered much and they know what needs to be done to put things right

For Amèlia, it is her curiosity and perseverance, and also her elegance and grace


For Lucifer... it's his wiseness and his empathy, his strong personality and will, and also his charisma.

ah, my rebel boy is a natural leader

I suppose one of the few admirable things with Zessen is that she wants to be seen as an individual by others rather than another cog to use in a long line of reincarnations.

Every single trait of Rocky the Rock is admirable.

Among many other traits he has: His listening skills, his inability to give up, a wisdom that transcends words, insane toughness, being one with nature, and humbleness....and achieving all that while being an inanimate rock.

I think Vernon's most admirable trait is his kindness, he always puts himself in other peoples shoes and places them first, , He is one of those people that casually says stuff like, 'we should cook up a soup for charity' or 'I want to help this person', and he is genuinely concerned with the lives of everyone and everything.
Even when he fights he is often thinking more about his opponents well being than his own

A common theme in JTA though is how there is no universaly 'good' trait or person,
in fact his main arc at the start is to learn to tone it down a bit, to a bit more selfish and express his desires, as opposed to doing what everyone else wants all the time, his most admirable trait can also be very self destrutctive at times and he doesn't realize that... He can be a little martyr at times, and carries the world on his shoulders thinking every single tiny problem is his fault, and that sometimes is a good thing, but often causes him a lot of anxiety and self-inflicted pain.
And I mean, how do you correct that without someone like Azreth or Grey to beat some sense into his thick little skull?

I'm always a bit weary of putting links on non-promotional topics, but here is one anyway ^^

Since it's still at the very beginning and there's a lot to come (4 years of canon time to be exact) for my comic's protagonist, I think for Josi it's her curiosity. She's easily fascinated by new things, but - as people like to say that curiosity killed the cat - it can easily lead her into dangerous situations, and oh boi, is she going to get herself into one xD

Even though the harassment makes Mortimer a very boring looking person, he's dramatic and a hopeless romantic. This makes his best trait be the lengths he'll go to help someone else that he can reach with the little power he has - giving gifts to cheer them up, trying to sneak in ways to fix larger problems, and the most obvious one, adopting two orphans that sneaked into his evil lair since there was no one else to keep them safe.
It might've had a period where Mort's wish to help everyone was twisted into crime(to try and help everyone even if that involved a lot of stealing), but it's only stronger than ever now.

As for the second protagonist, Veriesin, it's her loyalty. If she's realized someone means well, you're not getting her to give up or suspect them easily, especially if they're particularly shy and she has room to speak in their place. Reasonably of course, she's still gonna give them a piece of her mind if the person starts acting out of line when they're better than that.

I guess, your main protagonist and my protagonist has one thing in common.
Anyways, the most admirable trait of my main protagonist is his strong determination to help the innocent in need. Even if it means sacrificing his own life for their safety. After all, to him, that's one thing he must be able to do as the greatest ranger of all time.


P.S: I checked out your comic, love the crayon style coloring. Plus, the placement of your words and pictures in the panels are so simplistic and yet so great. Readers would have no issue with growing to love your work. Keep it up.

Hi! Hm I guess the most admirable part about my character other than he's a nice guy and is helpful is that he's not afraid to admit he's wrong. As quoted from one of my favorite artists, Emily Artful, "You're favorite creators are problematic and so are you. But in a way, that's a good thing depending on how you handle it." Like everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. Down the road, I'm planning a story arc that my main character had to look at some of his troublesome behavior especially during his teen years. However, he had to reflect, grow, and change to become the person he is and is still growing in his young adult years.
