IMANI! โ๐ฟ CREATING STUFF & THINGS โ๏ธ
May 1, 2026
In order to keep scope reasonable I am not creating characters in any specific system but instead making character that have universal information that can in theory be applied to most games. I am also limiting my character creation timeline to an hour because arbitrary constraints means I am less likely to obsess over it not being "perfect". My idea - and we'll see how long this goes for - is to pull character prompts based on cards from the Story Deck Engine simply because I have it and I don't get to play with it as often as I'd like and this is an ideal project to use it. I have a great number of the decks and I simply don't break it out often enough.
All characters that I'm going to be creating will come with at least some of the following:
Name
Appearance (If I can find a pic crew that I can make them in I might include artwork that way)
Know For
A Secret
Goals
Encounter Tactics
Likely Location
So far I've come up with ideas for 3 characters. So I'm off to a good start. The hope is that I build momentum and don't lose steam as the month goes by. By the end of the month I plan on putting out a single document with all the characters that I've made even if I don't want it to 31. Please also note that the name of this will change when I come up with a better more witty one. Right now it's very much WYSIWYG which is fine but not exactly my vibes for official release. I will endeavor to post devlogs each day that I work on this so please look forward to those. They will have little teasers about the characters I think. I'm also hoping to prod someone else into doing spelling & grammer checking for me on this project so the devlogs will be the raw straight from my brain characters so take any hints with a grain of salt and know they might not be the final forms.
