Yeah I agree with what Suka said. In my opinion, I like how weaker characters are struggling with another that is stronger then them. It makes it more interesting to how the weaker one fights off the conflict between the stronger one, If they do.

Yay!! I ish smart. ^^ How do ya like them apples, children? :^D

Okay, I'll give it another go. I should probably quit while I'm ahead, but eh, what the who. XD. Usually, a reader grows attatched to to character not only through emotion, but also through what that character has to go through. I'm not saying that everybody's character should be weak and pathetic, but more people are able to relate to that more if you start your story with someone like that -- AND SINCE NO ONE ON THIS SITE IS A REAL WOLF, it'd be best to start off small. As your story progresses, your character will grow and naturally become stronger.

...and yeah...having a scar slashed across your eye doesn't really say much. ^^

It looks to me, that people who have "invincible" characters seem to act as if their character is the best and better than anyone elses. I know its annoying, but I don't think you can really do anything, so you just have to ignore them.

Its not illegal to rant about it XD



It just means you're emo and someone doesn't like you too good

I have a char 'in making' named Clover. She is really scared of Male dogs because of her past (which im still thinking up) She'll strike out sometimes if a male dog gets nere. She has a bit of anxiety arounnd them, thats what sets her off.

I always give my carries a reason to be angry and attack someone/something. Here are a few reasons I made up just right now:
1) Has anxiety
2) Never developed social skills
3)scared of wolves/dogs
4)was attacked as a pup
5) Watched parents killed by *insert thing here* and hates them for that
6)saw something like vilonce as a pup
7)had a kennel mate or friend who liked to kill and learned from that


and thats all I can think of right now, Im under 13 too. But thoses are some ideas to why a char would attack. Im not saying " Now you can all make killing chars!!!" No, Im saying theses are some ways to be creative with youe chars past! I didnt give any reasons to hate their family or have a thirst for blood.

Badass can be your char is popular and noone will chalange him for fight. Be creative with the word 'badass' it dosnt mean' have a thirst for blood' now does it???

I have a character like that...only he's not "bloodthirsty". Yes,he does have scars (and pleez don't call me emo, 'cause I'm NOT) He has them only because he's a fighting dog, and not the best one, either. He's also a victim of abuse, so there's another reason...actually, he's really kind, and I'm using him in a FanFic. It's kinda like "don't judge a book by its cover"...

All in all, great point. I hate when people act tough and draw their bloody gorey charries and say, "Oh, this is how I'm feeling EVERYDAY...Don't mess with me, 'cause I'll kick your arse" and when you talk to them, they'll be like, "Get out of my face or my character will kick yer arse!" and act all tough.

Apri you could of left that last comment to yourself. By saying that you might affend people on here or even start a war.

oh...sorry, I'll delete the last part.

Well I totally agree with the whole "stealing characters for popularity" issue, and I want to say that there are too many "bloodthirsty badasses" characters made. I don't understand why people can't make a character with a normal life.

Don't get me wrong, my fursona, RayJ, is badass and shes a killer, but I didn't steal her and I didn't make her to gain popularity. I'm not a hippocrit. XD

That made no sense but ok XD

The only badass charrie I have is Darth Roone aka canine Sith lord.XD
But he's not bloodthirsty, killing is his job. And he does it with a lighsaber.
I'm trying all the time, not to copy from other people. It can't SO hard to make up your own characters, without the "help" of others. When I designed my charrie Chiboa, she was just a blue (my fav colour) Jedi wolf. I taught she was uniqe, cause she was blueish.XD Than we got the internet. I found BS. And I was like "dang! that's a lot of blue wolves... but ha! none of these has a tail ring and a rebel insignia tatoo...and is an alien" XD So there was my character. I first showed her as my fursona, but she didn't represent me (exept that she was stubborn and didn't care what people were thinking of her).
I'm a jackal, chihuahua or rat with my own calm personality.
Chiboa gets angry quick, but can also keep her cool. She likes fighting, but at the same time she tries to solve problems the nice way. She's allways trying to control her feelings (she has to, she's a Jedi knight), but also trying to show herself as mercyless, which she's not. She's ussually funny, with a good sence of humor and likes to rap. And sometimes annoying.XD
Her zodiak sign would probably be Gemini, cause she has 2 faces. Cool, hot. Light side, dark side. Nice wolfeh, badass.XD

P.S. Sorry for being an idiot, but what does "emo" mean? I'm not a native english speaker.XD

"Emo" is short for "emotional" and people have officially dubbed it something "cool" to be, but all it really is is a bunch of whiney children who say their life sucks when it doesn't. If they do that on a regular basis, they're "emo" XD

Thanx!XD

Okay I agree Cat. I call people who are unoriginal and follow the crowd sheep 'cause sheep follow people XD. Nobody is perfect and eveyone has their weaknesses, no need to use their characters to make them look strong and brave. What's wrong with having the ocassional shy character? I mean even at the age of five I was making up characters and had backrounds and life stories for them. I can see the point in having a 'bloodthirsty' character if they are a villian and they are maybe confused or muddled but not to make someone look big. My mum always warned me that it's the weak people you need to watch.
