Creating a character is ezpz m8.

Here's an example of how Ex made Kyd Wykkyd from his first ever roleplay, and why he is a bad character.


Original sheet from the old site:

And now the translation into the new character sheet

Ex's Shame:

For starters, Kyd Wykkyd is a name stolen from a character from Teen Titans, an obscure character, but still a straight off rip off.

His real name, Joseppi Corleone is maybe the worst name for a character, considering My real name is Joe, and I'm Italian so I had to make my character basically me. Wrong. Don't do this. Don't make Kyd Wykkyd..

His powers are actually fine, but the power abilities are far too generic and well, edgy and bland. They need more description like for Blink Strike it could say "Teleports to the target if they are within range, throwing them off." And there, it has an affect other than just teleporting. It describes that it confuses the other person and helps others react to the situation.

His skills are fine as well, other than the last joke skill I added in. It gives him a hobby and some real skills.

His equipment is fine as well, but very lacking. He doesn't have a lot to work with.

The roleplay sample is far too lolsorandumb and this character would not be allowed into the RP.

So in closing, don't Make Kyd Wykkyd, the overly crazy self inserted edgelord. Make something that's actually good. Self inserts are ok, but avoid making them when you can.

His personality is far too short and a decent turn off. Insane characters are allowed but only if the RP sample is good enough (in this case, it is not.)

The biography uses a cheap technique as well, making most of his past a blur. This is lazy writing and I hate that I did it back in the day. Don't be as lazy as me, give your characters backstories.

And now, how to do it right.
Kyd Wykkyd reprised:

As we see here, right off the bat we have a non-plagiarized name.
