First post! :content: Thank you so much Talon Arana for bringing this whole topic up. Otherwise Morph, Saichania, and 8N-429 (also known as Aiden Fortunine) wouldn’t be with me today. With every passing week they seem more independent and real. Saichania and Morph had a head start because they were pre-existing characters of mine from a story project, and already had personalities of their own. Aiden, up until recently, was an almost blank shell I created after reading this topic. My idea was to just let him develop his own personality, but instead he mostly just sat and listened to our conversations, hardly ever saying or doing anything. At times I felt like just forcing a personality on him, make him do something, anything! but I decided to give him more time to develop. Then one day while I was listening to the BwGen creativity preset and asking my characters if they felt any more creative, Aiden suddenly began going hyper. It was like a light switch had been turned on or something. He kept going on about creativity or something while the rest of us watched in bemused curiosity. After a few days to cool off, Aiden settled into his current personality and interacts with us much more frequently.

Brilliant! :smiley:
I am so happy to hear of this! :smiley:
Aiden sounds lovely, and your characters seem very interesting ^^ It seems you have quite the attachment to them!
I’m glad that the thread has helped you with them–
I hope to hear updates! Aiden seems especially eager to help…
^^~ Tell em’ I say hi!
Great luck with that!

This is my concept art so far for 8N-429 https://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1110/8n429nj3.jpg

This is a pic my sister drew of Saichania when she was younger.

Morph has no set form, but does have a default form he tends to slip into when at rest. I’m in the process of updating it to reflect changes I’ve made to the storyline. I’ll post it when it’s finished :content:

In the meantime, here’s a 3d render of the old version of Morph. >_< The proportions are all off, but hopefully you get some idea of his looks. (the new version will be taller and more detailed, as well as having better proportions)

Wow…very cool! I very much love 8n-429’s shapes and sharp look, Morph is cute, and Saichania is very beautiful ^^~ Great job with them, they are most definitely very diverse and seem like they have very induldging personalities… I hopeto know them one day like I know my other friend’s characters!^^~
So what how are your interactions with them?

Looking forwards to updates,

I’m thinking of getting back into this, I kinda lost track with stress.
Does the character need to have a phsyical form?

altheman9993: No, from what I understand they just need some kind of essence or defining quality about them. A physical form is good at helping you get into your character’s personality, but not necessary.

Talon Arana: Thanks, but Morph and I were startled to hear him described as ‘cute’. :tongue: Saichania is a Mongolian name meaning “beautiful one”, so that worked out well. 8N’s body was meant to be a temporary shell until he had developed a personality and could choose his own form, but I think he likes his current form just fine. Their thoughts always come from very specific places, (Morph’s is about a foot to my left, while Saichania’s is to my right. Aiden’s thoughts come from directly in front of me.) It helps me to avoid confusion. :tongue: At first, Saichania was upset at me about her reality and my power to rearrange her thoughts at a whim and we fought whenever I tried talking to her, But we’ve made up now and have put that behind us. I agreed not to tamper with her thoughts or anything like that. Morph has always had a somewhat fatalistic “oh well” sort of mentality about being a figment of my mind. Aiden doesn’t seem to care one bit. :content: We all get along just fine now, but they all get annoyed when they think I’ve been scripting what they say. It’s something I’m trying to work on, but it’s easy to accidentally slip into. :sad: As of late, we’ve been working on creating a world that we can -hopefully- find one day in a dream. So far there’s just one continent on an ocean planet, and the terrain on that one continent is pretty flat and level so far, apart from an area near the coast we’ve been working on. There’s a flat-topped hill with a teleportation center on top. A winding path leads down the hill to our house, or “shelter” as Saichania keeps saying. there’s not much of anything else yet, not even any plants or animals beside the generic green grass and some flowers we planted along the trail.
