I had this game idea, since I like this kind of thing I thought I might make smth like this I hope it’s easy to understand!!

Ok so it goes like this:

This character is bubbly and energetic, and is very giving towards those around her, but can be a bit vain and self absorbed. She’s 18 and has just graduated her senior year, and has no idea what she wants to do in the future. She’s a lifeguard who lives in Gold Coast, and loves the beach more than anything- well, except her 7 year old sister. Her mom has a new boyfriend, and she really doesn’t like him.

She’s 5’4 and has a lean but muscular build, with ash blonde hair that has some natural pale blonde highlights, and pretty blue-green eyes. She often sports her lifeguard hoodie, and wears minimal makeup. What’s her name?

Poster 2: her name is Madelyn Bailey ‘ Mads ‘ McMahon.

Next character: This character is an imaginative 23 year old woman who’s almost optimistic to a fault. She lives in New York and her dream is to be a childrens’ writer. She has a pet turtle named Tom.

She’s tall, 5’10, and lean, with curly red hair, pale skin dotted with freckles, and a unicorn tattoo on her right lower back. She likes kitschy, colorful wear, such as rainbow eye makeup, lace up boots and large clay earrings.

Poster 3: Her name is Phoebe Seraphine Boswell.

Next character…and so on!! I’ll start us off with a character!!

[also, you can totally interlink characters and universes e.g. make a sibling, parent or friend to an established character!! there are no wrong answers for this and you can use this for your own book characters to find name suggestions for them!]

—

This character is a boisterous and energetic girl who’s 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. She can be a little hot headed, and doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Her boldness can be her most fatal flaw, and she sometimes says things she doesn’t mean. She’s very interested in performing arts, and always takes the lead in her school’s musicals. She lives in a rural town in the Midwest of America. In spite of how she may seem at first, she’s not mean at all and is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. She’s one of five kids, making her family life chaotic, but she loves it dearly.

She’s 5’2 with an hourglass build, tanned skin, a mane of curly brown waist-length hair she’s very proud of, and hazel eyes that are always lined with black to make them pop. Her ears are triple pierced, and she loves to wear dark chokers, oversized graphic shirts, flannels and baggy clothing. She always wears her big black platform boots, which she treasures. What’s her name?

He works as a paperboy, and his goal in life is to become a doctor. He’s selfless and kind, to the degree where he sometimes lets people walk all over him. He’s 5’3, mixed race, with tan skin and curly black hair, and light freckles. What’s his name?

[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] Johno [name_m]Little[/name_m] ‘Tommy’

This character is a 10-year-old girl who lives on a ranch in the [name_u]South[/name_u]. She’s scrawny and boisterous - always getting into trouble with a smile on her face. She is stuck in the middle of lots of siblings; the little ones look up to her and will follow her blindly. Her older siblings, on the other hand, can get very annoyed with her at times. This kid cares deeply for animals; she has a farm dog just as crazy and scrawny as her! She challenges the rules: she’s the only girl on the baseball team, she gets her church dresses dirty, she swims in dirty creeks, she saves bugs, she scares the little ones by telling scary stories over a bonfire.

She’s medium height for her age with tan, sun-kissed skin because she’s always on adventures in nature. She has a pointy nose dotted with freckles all around. Scratches and scars cover her face from her non-stop tumbling, climbing trees and falling in thorn bushes (she always gets back up, though!!). Her hair is (sometimes, when she hasn’t been rolling in dirt) caramel blonde but its usually unkempt (even though her momma or big sibling brushes it everyday) and usually has pieces of hay sticking out of it. She finds dresses and skirts itchy and uncomfortable - she prefers her older brother’s hand-me-downs that are grass-stained and worn out. What’s her name?

[name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
Our next character is thirteen years old and very smart. She’s in the middle of lots of siblings, none of whom like her very much. She loves reading, and her family lives on a farm. She wears glasses and is short with shoulder-length mousy-brown hair. Most of the time, she can be found in the barn, sitting in a corner with her latest read. She has a few pieces of hay sticking out of her braid, a smear of dirt across her nose, and a Band-Aid on her finger. Other than that, she’s relatively neat.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] ‘ [name_f]Millie[/name_f] ‘ Hatfield

The next character is a 36 year old single mother by choice living in [name_u]California[/name_u], LA to be exact. Her son is four, and the apple of her eye. She absolutely loves him and takes walks with him every day downtown, where he loves to see the sights and observe the world in his own way. She broke up with his father when he was a year old, but they’re cordial and are good friends. She herself is an artist, who paints murals downtown for money. She dresses in an artistic manner, often donning her large clay earrings and pastel-colored bandannas she uses to pin back her hair, which she often dyes, but is now leaving in its natural shade of brown with natural umber highlights. Her eyes are large and green, and she has a tall, athletic figure from working out. She’s bi-curious and thinks she likes a girl who’s also an artist downtown, but isn’t sure yet, and is for now happy to just live with her son.

[name_f]Saffron[/name_f] [name_f]Chiara[/name_f] (Saffy)

The next character is a girl aged 12, who is trying to come up with ways to stop her parents divorcing and getting them to fall in love again. For suggestions she reads agony aunt columns in newspapers, watches love stories on her ipad and has roped in a few of her neighbours, including [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] Lottinton, who never married as her fiance died tragically in a car accident, widow Mrs [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Soweby who was married for over 50 years, the newlyweds [name_m]Tom[/name_m] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], and her best friend [name_u]Harry[/name_u], who is secretly in love with her. With varying levels of success, we follow her as she puts all the ideas they come up with into practise. I am not going to tell you the outcome of this children’s story, obviously. This lovely girl is of average height, with bobbed auburn hair and large green eyes. She has a delightful smile, a pale complexion with a smattering of freckles, and she has a heart of gold.

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_f]Mim[/name_f] [name_u]Bryce[/name_u] :woman_cartwheeling:t2: :ferris_wheel:

why I chose that name...

[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] just felt right - super spunky and sweet for this character! [name_f]Mim[/name_f], the middle, comes from [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] who was a strong-willed character in the Bible and I thought that characteristic suited this girl perfectly. Finally, [name_u]Bryce[/name_u] means ‘freckled’ which is super cute and fitting!

This character is a 7-year-old girl with big, green doll eyes, rosy cheeks and an angelic (but sometimes cheeky!) smile. Her hair is long, a golden-brown colour, and usually tied up in pigtails wrapped in a pretty white bow. This little one has a small figure, she is dainty and small which usually works out great for hiding when she’s playing with her friends! She usually wears a plain, white dress (that is grass and mud stained at the end of the day!).
She’s a little stubborn with a heart of gold. She always wants to do good, always standing up for what is right and never letting things slide.

This girl is the daughter of a rich (and not very nice at all) man. Her mother died during childbirth, so her nanny serves as her mother-figure. She lives on a big, white, colonial house on top of a hill, and that hill is surrounded by forest.

There’s a tree with a swing that spends most of her time on, watching birds.
Her name must be appropriate for the time period and place (1800s America). She has a best friend who has a special, funky nickname for her, so please include that!

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] ’ [name_u]Firefly[/name_u] ’ [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m]

The next character is the best friend of [name_u]Firefly[/name_u] [name_m]Hamilton[/name_m], a shy and studious little boy with big pale blue eyes that he observes the world through in his own way. He has an untameable, spiky mane of ginger hair that goes every which way, and a smattering of freckles across his cheeks, nose, arms and legs. He’s tall for his age, a head taller than his best friend, and limber.

He’s very much an introvert and prefers to keep to himself. He’s got a special interest in wildlife, specifically bugs, hence Firefly’s nickname. She has a playful nickname for him too, which he thinks is charming. People often tease him about liking her, but he’s really just a good friend.

Unlike [name_u]Firefly[/name_u], his family is from the poorer side of town. He has six siblings and is sandwiched smack dab in the middle, often taking on a role of responsibilty in the household. He enjoys taking care of the kids, and teaching them interesting animal facts. He’s at the top of his class and hopes to become a scientist someday.

[name_u]George[/name_u] [name_u]Declan[/name_u] “Geode” [name_u]Collins[/name_u]

This character is a 15-year old boy with gentle blue eyes, thin glasses, an adorable smile and long-ish wavy dyed blonde hair (naturally dirty blonde) usually worn down. He is quite tall and about average weight. He usually wears casual clothes, usually in purple, neutrals, pink/coral or blue, sometimes with accessories like small chains.

The boy is quite introverted, curious, laid back but also stubborn, a bit lazy and indecisive. As of morals, he’d probably classify as morally grey as he has a good sense of justice but also has an evil side.

He’s really interested in playing video games and music (singing and piano). He’d like to become a hacker, but he doesn’t have the chance to do that.

His family is middle class living in the suburbs, and he has a little sister whom he adores very much and does a lot of different things with her.
