It's often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. That being said, it should be known that this thread isn't for judging people if they do base their characters on an existing one. This is literally a for fun thing where peeps can admit "This is the basis for my character's personality!"
So go ahead! Let's talk about it! If you have even a little part of your character that might be based on a character from a video game, or a book or tv show, then let's hear what it is! It could be anything from their weapon, to their attitude or their quest, but whatever it may be, it's bound to be interesting!
I suppose being the topic creator, I'll start.
Ayami and Ermine are more based around series' rather than specific characters.
Ermine is unashamedly based around old mystery noir, and around the game franchise Ace Attorney (No specific character, more around the over the top law.)
Ayami is pretty well based around much of Kingdom Heart's characters and styles, believing in the power of friendship and having a difficult past.
However, now we move onto my last two characters, Zeta and Mephalia. Zeta is rather heavily based upon Nonon (Pretty unsurprising) and Mettaton EX. Though she also has a general air of the more opportunistic characters in fiction, while also kind of holding a style of "Saturday Morning cartoon villain".
Lastly Mephalia. Her inspirations are far less interesting admittedly, and is kind of more off the top of my head rather than based on anyone. Though she does hold a minor inspiration in her FC. Though beyond career, very little is shared.
With all of that said, I would love to hear about whether anyone else has inspirations for how their characters came into existence, and I invite anyone to mention it!
