1001+ Original Character Ideas You Can Use Right Now (And How To Come Up With More Ideas)

How to Find Ideas

Finding inspiration for creating characters can take many forms. It’s impossible to cover all the ways inspiration strikes; sometimes, it might seem random. Usually, however, there is a trigger that will cause any of us to go, “I have an idea.” There is no one-size-fits-all solution to finding OC ideas, but there are a myriad of more minor inspirations.

Absorbing Media for Inspiration

One popular way to develop new OCs is through the mobile app Gacha Club. Gacha Club is an adorable game that allows players to create clubs of original characters in Gacha form by taking on the role of Gacha Summoners.  When it comes to a program like this, designing Gacha Club OCs features an endless combination of up to 100 free character slots with hundreds and hundreds of design options that result in thousands of combinations. 

Bonding with a character you create in a game can lead to OC drawing ideas. For example, whenever I play a game with custom character creation, I always create an “Aluia Ravenmane,” who has become an OC in my collection in her own right. Her background and style may change from game to game, but they are endless variations on the core Aluia OC. Finding inspiration in games, especially games like Gacha Club, can lead to OC inspiration.

But what about other fandoms? Another way is to embrace your fandom, such as with Warrior Cats OCs. Warrior Cats is a massive, immersive setting featuring the adventures of cats (go figure) and has become a source of inspiration to OC creators worldwide. Using media such as games and books is an excellent resource for character concepts. There are many ways for fans to create their characters within the world of Warrior Cats, and the community embraces creation.

In my case, I am an avid roleplayer for tabletop games, and my group is considering a Star Wars campaign. As a Star Wars fan, there is plenty of inspiration for me to draw from - there are almost too many options. In that case, I may need to lean on an archetype I love, such as a bounty hunter, like the Mandalorian. No matter what, my love of the setting and the versatility of the media gives me endless options for character creation.

It all comes down to what you love. Most fans of any media will occasionally indulge in the simple question of “what if?” when enjoying their favorite book, movie, or show. That can be the spark they need to create their own OC - experience as much media as possible to see what clicks.

Bootstrapping OC Ideas

Lastly, you could also try the other strategies outlined in our previous guide, “How To Make An Original Character.” We cover all sources of inspiration and character design theory if you want extra guidance. The hard part is waiting for that idea to pop up, but you can speed up that process by exposing yourself to stories that can inspire you.

However, this time, we want to focus on something more prompt-based: the dual-word method. The dual-word method is a shortcut to finding that spark that leads to a new original character that anyone can master. Think of it like a game or puzzle - what can you do with the inspiration provided?

The Dual-Word Method

The dual-word method is a strategy of using two words to develop a character idea. For example, what comes to mind if I give you the words “Roving Philanderer”  or “Lovelorn Baker”?

The dual-word method is like a formula to develop characters; as you’ll see, the combinations are practically endless. This method is a simple math problem: A + B = C. Or characterTraits from A, plus roles from B, resulting in your new character (C).

Set A: The Adjectives

This first set of words are adjectives that establish traits of an original character. You can design a character that reflects that selected trait using the adjective. We’ve assembled 100 unique adjectives ranging from standard to slightly more obscure.

When using the adjectives, your best bet is to start from the image that appears when you read it. That can make a strong foundation for an OC.
