Now that we've got pesky names out of the way, let's get to the fun part.

The way your character looks!

Just like our previous step, we want our character to look as unique as their name sounds.

Making diverse characters are hard, as evidenced by the millions of books about the same white kid over and over again!

Be like the most popular writers and use these guidelines for your characters:

-If your character is a loner-type or in a creepypasta, make sure they're a girl (otherwise no one would wanna read lol!)

-This girl should have a wardrobe that only consists of hoodies and jeans, but if she's really edgy you can throw in some band tees and studded bracelets! It's even better if you use pieces of your own wardrobe to put on your own character.

-If your character is badass (gender doesn't matter here) make sure they wear black! Black is dark and scary!!!

-The more leather, the more badass your character is.

-Hair is simple, dark hair for protagonist, light hair for antagonist. (this is mostly seen in high school stories where apparently all blonde girls are spawn of satan!)

-Give your characters the most unnatural eye colors you can think of and make up an on-the-spot excuse as to why their eyes are like that! It doesn't matter if they have one blue eye and one green eye, it makes them more unique!!

That's it for now, kiddies! Stick around for more character tips. We're only just getting started!
