Who do you base your character from (protagonist or antagonist)

Really? Huh, I've never thought he was creepy. Well, thanks for telling me!

Goon is literally Bunny Foo-Foo (if you added food coloring and a piss poor attitude).

Mun is based off of one of my own cats. Granted, said cat isn't a munchkin (she's a poly-dactyl) but the sass and the "of course I'm amazing" attitude is taken right from her.

Let's say one of my comics Simcats: Most of the characters are based on many different cat breeds, while the protagonist is based on me myself.

I'll just pick a few from SS , but Hanyu is like 9 years old but I've used inspo from a few differen fictional characters along the way to making her how she is now, including Esmeralda and Midna from LOZ Twilight Princess. <3

Amattis is like 3 years old, I treid to be really original but i'll think of Edward Elric from time to time :'D

aaaand Kho's also roughly 9,, and also a character that was sort of half-gifted to me, but I think I drew inspiration from like... a really warped alternate version of Peter Pan I read when I was a kid

I mainly use myself as a point of reference for characters. In my first story, Mary Ann is based on a younger version of myself. I mean, the kind that would have been allowed to wander off by herself and climb trees... Friend in the story is unashamedly my imaginary friend growing up.

In my second story, Summer is based a little on my own insecurities, so he's a very nervous child that can tell when things are not right. The other two characters are based on their respective tropes ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[TheVoidchildProject]

The protagonist from my comic Voidchild isn't based on any one thing in particular.

She was actually part spawned from a strange bug in a now cancelled mmorpg "City of Heroes" wherein I came up with her backstory and concept. I was playing the beta after I made the character, who was originally male. Then the next time I started it up he'd been gender-swapped and I basically went: "hey, she looks much cooler than that other guy" and stuck with it. ^_^

She does draw some inspiration in demeanour from the character Samuel Aran of the Metroid series. A character I deeply love as a no-nonsense, mysterious character who also manages to feel involved, loving and caring despite a detached persona. But it was never the point to emulate Samus. I think aspects of her just worked her way into Mary as I fleshed out the character. And in case anyone is wondering I do consider Metroid: Other M some form of crime for how they treated my favourite video game protagonist of all time...
