For me its actually songs, especially ones put to animatics. Found a video with The Chain (by. Fleetwood Mac) over Rango years ago, nailing in the line "it only takes one bullet" with it, found it recently, wild west sheriff character idea now in my head. Got one from I Can't Decide (by Scissor Sisters). WARNING, if you decide to look up those songs The chain has light cursing & I cant decide has worse cursing, bout the same amount of curse words just I can't decide has bigger curses. but yeah I wanna know how you consistently get character ideas. of course I get idea that just come to me or "this is cool I wanna make a character off of a basis they have." but you know those are random.
I think of my favorite characters that already exist, such as Legolas Greenleaf and Aang from AtLA. I put their personalities together and come up with an appearance. Thats how I made so far my most popular characrer, Ikko Greenleaf.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
I don't. I look at something that's already been made and think, "Yeah, that would be fun to mess around with". Occasionally I'll get an OG idea...but that rarely happens.

I am the God-Queen of Trickery, Cunning, Lies, and Gaslighting- but you already knew that... "Moon's Haunted." *Cocks shotgun with malicious intent* "Eliksni must rise...yes?" _________ When it comes to pronouns I preferVariks-Senpai(But I'm a dude. Pronouns are weird.)

Please don't hide your imperfections, if one part is beautiful, it all is.
I think of a basic character idea, sometimes inspired by art in a D&D book. If I still like it after a week, I'll do more with that character and maybe use them.
I start with an archetype like swashbuckler then I ask how would it fit into setting. Then because they are all low level how would that archetype start out.
So say the archetype of sergeant, I’d put them as a battle master as it seems to have the command powers without fancy magic. Then in my setting I have a city focused on soldiers. And that’s how I made dave of Rien a retired soldier who helps guide the next generation of hero’s by example
I am part of the Cult of Grammar. Respect us. Or we will find the slightest mistake in your grammar, and never let you forget it. Clones would have saved Star Wars, and Kylo Ren sucks. MAKE THE EMPIRE GREAT AGAIN!!! I am a stormtrooper, and the Skywalker family is made of nothing but idiots who are insane. Cough Anakin and Luke Skywalker Cough
Don't even TRY to argue with me about Star Wars.
