You might want to use the ## code in your first post, like this: (just put ## at the beginning of a line, no space)

1. Tell us why we should care about YOUR character(s).

2. Now, tell us why we should care about your favorite character from someone ELSE's comic. Spread the love!

Aw thank you!!!

I'll check out your comic when I get the chance

[Plumli]

I drew him randomly one and immediately I knew he was a ghost vigilante. He stalks the streets of Hong Kong and known to attack members of the Black Dragon Society triads. No one knows for sure what his motives are, some say he's a murder victim looking for vengeance, others say he is a soul cursed by an evil wizard, but everyone knows he is a ghost with a face shaped like the Chinese character number 4 (pronounced the same way as death).

Done, thanks for the suggestion

Why caring about Echo ?
Well, she's a totally lost girl who got almost all of her family wiped out. The only one left is her father, and she doesn't even know if he's alive. She wants to find him so much she will put herself in danger. Plus being mute in a world at the beginning of a war isn't the simplest thing either. But she wants to find him, with a will of iron. How far can she go ?

Why should you care about Atem from Tales of the lost souls ?
Atem is an elf we didn't see much, but I love him already. His little face must hide things, but he's so adorable and polite. Plus, he just seems to be overwhelmed by bad luck, since he jsut loses all of his items through his journey. (also the recent prejudices in the pages toward his race doesn't help but seying "nooo I'm sure he has his reasons don't be bad with him").

I'll start by talking about Steel Salvation's character Dy-Gar.
I love the simplicity of the design with a great personality.
He's just a lovable character even though he's not very nice with others.

As for myself, I write a comic about homeless people in modern Paris.
One of my main character is Lev.
He is a silent grumpy old man that seems to be washed away from the colors of life.

So Why should you care about my OC?
I do realize he has been pretty introverted since the beginning but I have big plans for him. The story sometimes takes you on an unexpected path...

Why should you care about Bison from Coyote Bison?

Because he's a man that had a rough life -- he's been a slave through most of it, and when the opportuntiy came up, he fought to gain his freedom... only to find out that he preferred living in a figurative cage. He's been drowning himself in alcohol and uncalled-for-anger ever since, but, as much as he tries to, he can't help the fact that he's just a sad man looking for something that makes him feel alive again.

Why should you care about Lisa from Prozaic?

Because she truly means well, but she's turned into a bitter person. She's a really mean person who tries to hide from the world that made her worse, but she can't fight against the good inside her. Even if it terribly annoys her.

I care about Misa
Because she works hard for the people she loves
Her motivation to become a hero is fueled by her desire to protect the innocent
She's a mother-like figure to her friends, and would do anything for them

@SW99
I just started reading this series, but its brilliant
Its so dark, but their friendship is so heartwarming

The charcter: Vera Li
She is a murderer, but she's also a ...decent person
Her relationship with Jack Bell is great, and she tries to resist her urge to kill ...sometimes

I care about Cho, the main character from my series: The Glow. Anyway, he has nothing special because he's boring and unexpressive, but I love him probably because he was the first one and I have such a special sympathy to him ~~ Cho is a bit dumb too, he would never get a joke because his mind is always elsewhere.

And about a character from a different Series, definitely it would be for Herm from Sunken. Herm is a handsome douchebag with a common personality in a comic story, but definitely it's worth to worship him.
It's an amazing well drawn story that catched me since the day 1. I won't show any preview image since I'm not sure if I should, but I highly recommend it.

[SmallerTotems]

It is a little weird to be talking about why I care about a character I have created, but it is a totally fair question to be asked- if I'm going to imagine that other people are going to be interested in his story, and find his struggles compelling, then there's no reason I can't account for that myself. So... here goes.

I care about Ian, one of the main protagonists in Smaller Totems, because despite the fact that he is a mess of a human being, he's still willing to fight, every day, to pull himself together enough to continue the search for his missing younger brother. Constant nightmares. Mental health issues. Bad organizational skills. A crap job. He just shoulders them all, as best he can, and continues the search. He's broken, but he doesn't let it kill his bravery.

Also, I care about Ian because he's willing to believe in dangerous things. When faced with a choice between seeing his dreams and intuitions as a sign of his failing mental health, or seeing them as a possible manifestation of a "gift" that might help him find his missing sibling... he forces himself to walk the tightrope between the two explanations for his experience. How do you not care about someone who is willing to go a little bit insane if it means there's a chance they can help someone they love?

But enough about Ian...

lets talk about the Ed, the robot from Tethered!

Ed manages to be endearing and caring, without leaning too heavily on the "naive robot" trope. It behaviorally runs the healer/medic gamut from nurturing caregiver to pointer-out-of-the-obvious, and manages to be very openly human in moments where Cara, the human he is linked to, seems incapable of doing so.

One of the things I enjoy most about Ed is that, name aside, there's an interesting mix of "masculine" and "feminine" behavioral traits, which keep me from being able to immediately think of Ed as a "he" or a "she". This is something I really appreciate from robots in writing. Some readers might not care about details like that, but to me their signs of a care and attention to detail and character that I really enjoy.

If you haven't read Tethered, you really ought to start!
