another like, another answer. I'm gonna skip ahead to #6- the creation process.

Ok, @prettyarbitrary.bsky.social hooked me up with this meme because I apparently need to talk about my blorbos on the socials.

HMU.

Now, Imma be real here. A lot of these guys spring fully formed like idiot Athenas from my brain. But not always in the right context.

What I end up doing frequently is iterating them. I will throw certain characters at various stories and see what sticks and what doesn't. (cont)

The outcome though is always the iterative character becoming someone new entirely.

I guess maybe it can bet better summed up is I have a stable of particular archetypes i like to work with and then I like to see how they develop within the framework of a given world or scenario. (cont)

The Nine is a really extreme, ridiculous example of this. Every character in the Nine is one i've used in another context. It started off as a joke that I had enough of these guys lying around to start a dating sim game. (cont)

I threw their asses in the mental pear wiggler until they started to take on the very different forms they have today. For me, personally, each one of them still has a gag trait that *I* (at least) find a hilarious callback to their origins (Amon eating tide pods, for instance) (cont)

But they're entirely different characters with very different motivations.

And sometimes, i just think up a terrible little guy (GNC) and they're not really ready for anything i've got in the pipeline at the time. Then bam, one day there is a story and they're like "my time has come"
