HOW TO FIND A PLOT WHEN ALL YOU HAVE IS CHARACTERS AND A SETTING (and has built in character development!)
I'm looking at you oc community
YAY you have a world. Great! Now write down what happens on a normally- what are your character's daily routine. And my favorite part, why is that their routine. What makes them choose that? Are they constantly doing new thing cause they're afraid to be by themselves? Are they constantly by themselves because they are afraid of rejection? What would take this comfort zone and burn it to the ground. Create a list of ideas and pick your favorite.
Create a list of each character's goals and motivation, I'll be making a post on how to find that soon btw. Can the plot be based of these goals?
Pick THE MOST IMPORTANT goals.
Find the characters with different goals. YAY conflict!
You have to know your characters fears for this part. Not like heights like no one will ever love me if I'm not always perfect.
How are they dissatisfied with life:
What do they think will bring them happiness:
What could they do to be happy:
How has their fear stopped them from taking this action:
How do they think they can get their goal without doing the thing that makes them afraid:
6. Then use the situation in point 1 to create the environment that kick starts it. Use the goals and motivations to show why they do actions and boom!
Happy writing!
WRITING CHARACTERS TIPS
If you already have details for the character (ex: they like classical music), ask why. It helps to flesh out the character (ex: their older sister used to play it while they had tea parties, they play it when they miss her)
Make your characters want things, that want controls their actions. Also, MAKE IT MATTER! What's stopping them from getting it? What happens (or what do they think will happen) if they don't get it?
Most of the time strengths and weaknesses are the same thing. Your character may be a strong leader and that's great sometimes, but they can also become (or seem) bossy/controlling.
You are not creating real people; you are making the illusion of one. Don't be afraid to play God. Sure, you can throw events at characters to force them to make that decision, or you can make them the kind of person who would do it anyway. You don't have to know they're favorite food, unless it would come up in the story. Include some details, but make sure they have a purpose (see tip 1)
The characters first line should say something about them and they're last line of the story should say something about them. I like to use it to show how they changed.

No art today so instead a Ranne lore dump. (All other previous lore is under #ranne my beloved).
Apologies for any grammar/spelling mistakes.
I like the thought of them being merciless and a bit brash. They’re the god of winter and birds and I think it’s fitting. Winter brings death and destruction and while birds are intelligent and beautiful creatures, they’re pretty dangerous as well. Magpies poke your eyes out for goodness sake. So, Ranne can be sinister when provoked. Another thing I thought about was, what if, when Ranne gets hurt, like they get stabbed or something. Instead of a scab forming, it just ices over and heals. When the wound is done healing the ice just melts away. Also I plan on making a reference sheet somewhere in the future with their weapons, armor, color keys, and other physical attributes.
Please tell me about your ocs!! IM HUNGRY GRRR
helloow omg ! im so honored you want to know more about my ocs aaahhh!! :D my moot @kovu-bunnbunn also wanted to know more so i figured i could do it now !!
i have a bunch of ocs but I’ll just talk about my main oc ryoko right now !!
her full name is ryoko ‘007’ aizawa. I’ll explain the 007 in a minute !! she’s aizawa’s adoptive daughter.
her parents (her dad more specifically, her mom was more of a bystander) are both from very wealthy families and merged. Her parents had an arranged marriage and after some chatter to get to know each other they’re conversations take a little bit of a turn..and inbetween bonding about their favorite movies oop! A lil comment about how the world would he better off without heroes..oh you think so too ? Well look at that, we have so much in common!! long story short they both decide that the want to create something that will be able to take down all might and the entirety of hero society and it’s restrictions,,and I’m pretty sure you can guess what that something was ! nine months later ryoko is born yipeee…!
during her entire pregnancy ryokos mom went through some quirk experiments (sponsored by doctor garaki 👍) because they knew that with both their quirks alone they wouldn’t be able to create a super weapon. (ryokos dad has an overhaul type quirk, and her mom has a healing sort of quirk) so they did some experiments hoping something would change in the womb, and when she was born the kept on doing experiments until she started manifesting a quirk w no attributes from her either of her parents and manifested a fully different quirk than she was originally meant to have,
since she had those experiments done ryokos body adapted to be able to handle her quirk, but it’s not perfect unfortunately.
heres a simple little chart of how it works ! (BTW I DO NOT DRAW LIKE THIS ANYMORE THIS IS OOOOLLLLDD😭😭😭😭)
her quirk is a lot like neijires as in she uses her own energy and converts it into power ! The amount she uses shows in her hair :3 ryoko tho, unlike neijire can do multiple things from sending blasts, to powering herself up to make parts of her body stronger, to making it hard objects like stepping stones she uses to navigate and weapons like dual swords or chains to restrain ppl !! she can also drain other peoples energy (and from her surroundings, but thats only in 100% mode ! ) because of the fact that her body had been modified, ryoko can carry more energy into herself than regular people which is why she can drain energy without any major drawback to a certain extent ! However, her drawbacks are way more severe, overusing her quirks makes her sleepy and drowsy, it gives her nosebleeds and very worse case scenario if she were to have too little or too much energy she could die :0 !!
(ALSO !! I lil extra tidbit: ryoko is capable of sensing peoples energy’s if she concentrates hard enough, it works better if shes seen them before, but she can sense all the energy in humans in her surroundings or if she has a picture, tho it’s slightly weaker and is limited to one person at a time. This is a form of remote viewing that i gave her bc of my obsession w stranger things i had !!😭)
its a pretty powerful quirk that her parents and other scientists knew they could use well, but unfortunately for them ryoko ended up liking heroes (she was barely educated, so she had no idea that she felt admiration for heroes and especially all might, she was alsovaguely aware that she was taught to do the wrong things, because she’d be forced to use her quirk on robots/ small animals in some cases.)
her parents weren’t supposed to feel any affection towards her so they decide to just give her a code name 007 :D which i realized a little too late was the same as james bond..woops😭
anyways fast forward to the biggg “earthquake” incident, shes rescued by a group of heroes, eraser head included :D unfortunately shes detained in tartarus since her being in a constant state of panick set her quirk off and she couldn’t stay in a regular hospital so ryoko has canonically been to tartarus as a inmate at the age of 4 😭! Oh forgot to mention this, but ryoko got her quirk veryy early due to the experiments done before her birth and after.
since ryoko cant control her quirk an aizawa can cancel them, they’re a pretty good matchup !! Fast forward some more and shes living with him ! he adopts her and lets her go to school, where she meets izu n katsuki and they quickly become friends because. Of COURSE. My main ocxcanon ship is a CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS ONEEE😭😭😭😭will i ever stop. raise your hand if you’ve ever seen that one comin
lmk if you want to know more about her or other ocs ! I didn’t wanna ramble TOOO much so this is all the basic info!! plus some drawing of her
two of them r completely credited to horikoshi cus i used ochaco n hagakure as a base !! I accidentally have two in normal mode and two in 100% or overdrive mode as she calls it (tho one of them is a soul eater au :3) ! Both made by me :3
Much luvvv xxxx!!! And thank you Sooo much for your ask again💗💗💗💗
about my story, "are we still friends?"!
are we still friends? is, of course, a tale of four aussie friends - lyka, joy, galvin, and dolores - who have grown apart, since the death of the friend who tied them all together years ago. they meet again in the last year of high school; some of them have changed, some have stayed the same, and they'll be going on a journey together to discover themselves and their friendship.
this is dolores irving! they're another 17 year old face of the popular girl crowd; gossiping, giggling, and looking fashionable are in their expertise. she can be, do, or say anything her friends want or need. you can find her on toyhouse!
here we have galvin poole! the 18 year old stereotypical thick-headed bully jock, who's obsessed with girls, looking cool, and staying popular! there is absolutely nothing more to him than that. what, you want to see his toyhouse?
meet joy barrera! creep is 17, and if you thought you've already seen the edgiest set of pronouns, you better see creepy's. blood definitely uses tumblr, just like us freaks! emo scenekid oc let's gooooo i think joy would definitely use toyhouse to store its own ocs
this is lyka chavez! she's the 16 year old nerd who basically thinks that berdly from deltarune is a great role model! she will not hesitate to tell you where you went wrong and step in to try and help. read more about her on toyhouse!
all three of these guys have personal relationships to the main cast! in order we have aster, helio chavez (lyka's older brother), and mia poole (galvin's younger sister). if you want to know more, see below!
