Name your favorite character traits! [Open Poll]
🕑 Added 2023-05-30 03:16:34 +0000 UTCI had this idea for next Friday's roleplay so just roll with me here lol. I don't want to give it away, but to help me out I want you all to give me traits that you enjoy in a character. They can be physical, personality, design; whatever you like. Name as many as you like- the more the merrier.
As of now it seems that this Friday's roleplay will be a tinkerer which I'm really excited about :P I already have some cool sound ideas in mind.

Don't feel weird! I don't want anyone to feel that way about what they like on here. In fact, I very much get where you're coming from. I love androgynous characters too! It's funny you bring up Monogatari because I always viewed Ougi as a bit androgynous and she's my best girl <3 Land of the Lustrous is a good example too and I really love all the characters in that series. I definitely get the appeal :)

oohh boy I got some catching up to do on here lol. As for character traits/designs I tend to enjoy...I first gotta go with Tomboy. Basically, Kanbaru from the Monogatari series. That type of sporty/athletic, funny, boyish girl. Or I should have maybe just led with Land of the Lustrous. Givin that the main character is my pfp lol. People I've told before about this tend to think I'm weird, but I like the androgynous look. Which I feel matches the tomboy aesthetic. I feel I could continue on, but for the sake of everyone I will gracefully bow out, while I am still viewed in a (favored?) light. XD

Glad that you enjoyed the character! She is probably my favorite character across all media currently, and has been for a bit lol, but I play so many games so it's only a matter of time before she is dethroned. Rean Schwarzer from Legend of Heroes came very close, but he has a bit too much of JRPG MC traits in him that make him feel slightly more generic of a character. Also good pun, it made me equal parts groan and laugh at the same time which is a good sign! I look forward to what all of these suggestions are going to become as you seem very excited in your replies to everyone!

Weeb-speak is the universal language here in the alichuverse and is very loved! Thank you for letting me know the traits you enjoy in characters. I've been making notes on everyone's replies so far- for research purposes of course! After the tinkerer this Friday I have something really fun planned for the next one. I don't want to give away too much, but I do appreciate you all giving me "parts" to this future character :P

Haha, perhaps I will do a mean character at some point! >:)

Pink hair always gets double the points! :P

Oh, I very much like how she looks! As an elder emo her style is right up my "ali" hehe :P I will definitely use this as inspiration for my next character...I want to keep it a secret from all of you for now, but it's very hard because I'm really excited about it lol. Must resist for the sake of surprise!

I agree with Sir Skelington, I think I'd really enjoy Levi! As someone who really enjoys sarcasm, I imagine being friends with someone like him is a lot of fun :) I'll see what I can do with this...So far all of your comments have given me some good "character parts" hehe :P
dead to me
I like kindness and sincerity most, truly, but a bit of mean now and then is all good fun ๐ You tempt the begining of The Alichu Villian Arc and I'm here for it

Hmmโฆgood question. Honestly the traits I like kinda depend on the character and their role in whatever story theyโre in. For example the traits Iโll like in a villain wonโt necessarily be the same traits Iโd like in a hero, not to mention the setting and theme will influence what traits Iโd like in a character too. Though this is an ASMR roleplay, not a book. So I shouldnโt get all up in the weeds and should probably be thinking along the lines of archetypes rather than a complex character study haha If weโre talking what character traits I personally most often enjoy in an ASMR roleplay itโd have to be the gentle, nurturing/comforting sort of type. Especially if thereโs just a touch of possessiveness/yandere. Thoughโฆwhen I think of a tinkerer none of those traits really come to mind. Iโd think of a tinkerer as someone a little socially awkward, finding it hard to carry a conversation if itโs not about machines. I could picture them being the shy type, and easily flustered when it comes to personal matters. I think somewhere along the lines of a dandere/hajidere would play into that quite well. Those are just my thoughts and opinions though, Iโm sure Iโm gonna enjoy whatever youโve got cookinโ! (christ that was a lot of weeb-speak I just spouted haha)

Just as long as she's nice really ๐ฅฐ And that trait is a constant among your characters, so really you do you and whatever comes out, I'll be happy with. Lmao just watch Alichu do her first mean character right after I say that XD
thegrashoper
Yeah, believe it or not he has been a good friend. When I was stranded out of state from a car accident. He dropped everything to come help same day no questions asked. Hard to find real friends like that these days.
Sir Skelington
I think I would get along with this Levi character.
Sir Skelington
Good sense of humor, someone who nerds out about something they enjoy, nice hair(double points if pink haired anime girl).

I have an example of a character that embodies so many different character traits that I like. The character's name is Ibuki Mioda from Danganronpa 2 (I'm gonna include a link at the bottom of this post to show what she looks like for you or anyone else who isn't familiar as the Danganronpa games are Mystery/Detective games and searching names is a good way to get spoilers lol). But in text form, to accompany the picture, for physical things I like knee/thigh highs, jewelry (neck, fingers, wrists, etc.), multi-colored hair, piercings, and long hair. Also though on the personality side of things she has a few traits I really like as well such as being deredere and a bit of an airhead but not super dumb either. In more general things tho I like edgy designs as a whole tbh. I talked a little bit about rouge designs in a prior comment and that's still something I enjoy as well. Ibuki reference: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/6/67/Ibuki_Mioda_Fullbody_Sprite_%284%29.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617201452&path-prefix=protagonist

Hmm character traits. Iโm going irl and describing my buddy Levi, heโs an interesting one. Iโm going to call this trait sarcasm, but Iโm talking dead face sarcasm. Combined with the will to piss people off, and push the limits of social interactions. Example: Weโre walking into Walmart late at night, and some older gentleman is walking up next to us. He turns to Levi and asks โhey you know if theyโre open today?โ Levi replied โnah man theyโre closedโ as he then walked right through the door. The dude had already turned around before he noticed we walked right in.. yeah he didnโt find it funny. Anyway I hope that counts idk if you can use that in a character or not lol

My favourite character type in media is the strong, silent type, but unfortunately silence and asmr roleplay don't really go together lol. Design wise I love 'flowy' things (is that a word??): long hair, scarves, coats, things like that.
