Candidate Exchange

Post by Shard »

Need a candidate but have no inspiration? Check here!

Please provide whatever kind of info you feel could inspire someone - Physical description, mental state, historical data, name-address-phonenumber... Nothing is *required*, save that you are willing to allow anyone to select and use this basic persona-shell for their own purposes. Once they're here, they're open game. PLEASE list your url or name if you want either of those things placed on the page showing you inspired the character - if you don't care who or where they go to, don't list it but don't expect anyone to point back to your site. :)

I'll try and keep the list clean of those who have been used. Those asking to use a character, I want to say FIRST COME FIRST SERVED - but wouldn't it be fun to see what "one" shell could be done by several people? :) Maybe that's something else to be put on: if this shell is okay for MULTIPLE use. That could be a lot of fun. :)

Heck, maybe linking to dollz images might even be acceptable, it'd give folks bored at work (and able to upload pix to their server lol) something else to have fun sharing...

So: DONATIONS

Shell character (descriptive enough to inspire, or just swipe for quick use)
Whether they're multiple use or single use
Your name/url IF you want 'credit'

REQUESTS

Please *QUOTE* the post you want to reference!

I don't have canidates (I have enough trouble making my OWN) but I do have a canidate generator, that gives a basic physical description, a couple personality traits, height, alignment, name...basically a skeleton that can be fleshed out. If anyone wants to use it.

I made it to create bonds for my Chaos of Color giveaway..

Excellent. I need to play with that one for a couple hours. :)

Here is mine, and results are open for any use, I'd *like* credit but not really necessary.

Actually, here's my whole page of generators. If specific ones are used (not the fantasy gen, that's pretty generic) please link to the appropriate locale (droppin-the-fork.com).

I'm working on a very basic generator, and the best part is, I'm actually going to get to use it as a progect for computer class. *dances*

So far it says things like "This is a short, chipper boy with wavy red hair."

But hey- It's a start, no?

I was messing with that generator, and got this one:

Race: troll/werewolf
Gender: female
Age: pre-teen
Occupation: janitor
Likes: horseback riding, swimming, and puzzles
Dislikes: horses, dancing, and shellfish
Best skill: mathematics
Worst skill: gymnastics
Personality: sharing, very nice, not very patient

She's just so weird on so many levels... not least of which is the fact that she likes horse-riding but hates horses...

So I submit it here so that someone can have some fun with it.

This miiight be the wrong place to put this, but you guys could always make an Ojee or two for a 'funny-looking creature' shell. ^_^* There's over 1,000 possibilities with this one species- it's insane.

www.nonanut.com/magicisle/createojee.html

Here's a blurb about the species.

Ojee

The Ojee are an omnivorous fox-dragonfly beings with many varying physical traits and mutations similar to a Salir. However, they were not born from the magical backwash that created the Salir. They were created from the astral plane, the spirit world around Mardusion- the magic that affected it physically also transformed some spirits, and reincarnated them as the Progenitor Ojee- the first Squall of Ojees, one male, one female, one a hermaphrodite, and one asexual. The male bred with the female and hermaphrodite, the asexual bred with the hermaphrodite through magic, until all the Progenitors had mated with each other. Each one carried with it millions of various spirits of all kinds. The result expected was to create Ojees just like the First Squall.

The First Generation was born, a generation bearing exactly 1600 cubs each mating (the male and asexual both gave birth by magical means instead of physical, an ability that has been lost since the Shattering). Each and every cub looked different- one had ten eyes, another long fur and feathery tails, yet another with two mouths and flesh hanging off its bones, and many more. Each one lived five thousand Mardusionian years* and each had found its own mate and started more Squalls, thus producing throughout history the colorful, varied species today. All Ojee have a few things in common, though- vulpine paws with retractable claws, a basic vulpine body, dragonfly wings (unless they have a special mutation that made them have wings other than dragonfly-type), and insect eyes. Ojee live 1200 years, 600 shorter than Dragons, longer than you or me. They talk to each other with various noises, and to other species with telepathy.

Again, sorry if this is the wrong place, but I found it's really easy to bust a few of these out as candidates. ^^*

Something else useful if you have not-too-much-inspiration on how to start things off is this:

http://eposic.org/rpg/runes/runeframe.html

You feed it the name, and it comes up with a cast depending on name and day. You will get the same cast if both of those are the same.

The results are like this (this is Whith's cast)

Physical Health Good
Mental Health Below Average
Emotional Health Very Poor
Spiritual Health Above Average
Love Life Below Average
Money Below Average
Travel Poor
Legal Matters Average

It's great for when you have a story in mind, but aren't quite sure how to set the character up in the beginning. :)

Hope that's not too off-topic. I just did the cast for the 78 new personae I got out of the Alabaster/Blackstone giveaway-type-thing (39 dragon/rider pairs). It should be fun writing....

Ffwah ha ha ha! Okay, not to resurrect a dead thread, but I was poking through here and found http://www.springhole.net, so I went to one of the random generators (the magical girl team one, I believe?)

"This magical girl team has nine members of gradschool age. They have a literature motif and their uniforms resemble elegant ninja outfits. Their mission is to save a young man."

Isn't there already an anime about that? With some chick who can make pages turn into planes and knives and such? XD Regardless. Tee hee hee!
