Secondly, you said you didn’t know how to make character pictures? There are a number of ways you can do this. The easiest way is to find some free MS Paint friendly lineart/blank renders and colour them in on your computer. Many people here, including me, have free linearts and blank renders in their fanart and images galleries, or you could find some on deviantart. Just make sure that whatever free art you use you follow the artist’s rules for using it.

I hope this helps, and if you need more advice I’m always happy to assist. And if you’re still stuck, I’d be more than happy to make you some character images for your profiles.

Hi. First off, welcome to SS ^^ I hope you like it here.

Your question is a very good one, and although I’m not a moderator or have much involvement with fanfics, I’ll do my best to help answer your question.

As far as I’m concerned, you don’t have to make a profile for every character you write about in your stories. That would be impossible, especially if they’re only minor characters. After all, Spirit Source doesn’t have profiles for every member of the Cimarron Herd, but you can still write about them.

However, if your character is a main character in your story, I would encourage you to make them a profile. Not only will it help you, and your readers, to visualise your character, it will also give you a base for their story and their personality, so you can refer back to it when writing. If you don’t have a clearly thought out profile for your character you might end up with continuity and personality errors in your story.

Don’t forget, if you write Spirit fanfiction, you must have at least one official character in your story.
