Character goofs and quirks are something most writers don't escape from. At some point you just create a character that has this little characteristic, or eccentricity if you will, that just accentuates them. Maybe they always have a bar of chocolate with them, or maybe they can't ignore a fez when they see one. Do your characters have those quirks? What would be some fun quirks to play around with?

I don't really create quirky characters that much, and the one time I created an extremely quirky character, it was more their eccentricity that made them quirky than any specific habit.

I do enjoy quirky characters though.

I have fun making flamboyant characters sometimes as I like RPs with a tad bit of whimsy and fun (even if it's dang serious). That's as quirky as I can go I suppose.

Okay that's the first one. The rest I don't know cause I haven't planned or seen them come out yet.

I recall I once made an RP character that was a genius at making traps, but was also insane. After all genius and madness are two sides of the same coin.

if by "quirks" you mean trivial individual characteristics, then I try to give every one of my characters some. I made a character that I wanted to seem youthful, so I made him fond of chocolate moo-moo milk, it was fun

As for actual quirks, I don't overdo it. Sometimes a few characters will come along and they'll rock the story with their strangeness, but I do get tired of it easily

i do love you a little bit


My most recent character, Karix, has a fear of pointy objects. It's... not very well thought through. I have no idea how she's going to cope going on a journey with a Zangoose. But it'll sure make for an interesting RP!

I do like characters with weird quirks. Some might not like when things are overdone, but I think a little bit overdoing quirks makes for accentuated personalities and more vivid RPs. We're not always overly realistic in RPs, after all.
