Tips on making Aku kids and design ideas

I would check on who the other parent is and incorporate that, but it all depends on how the kids come about and what the intentions were. In my headcanon at least, whatever Aku is made of is like pure will, and it is affected by the input. Aku being the way he is from extreme fear/hate/anger exposure, the PPG being what they are because the Professor's intention was to make little girls, etc.

High Priestess shoved a turkey baster up there and wished for a bunch of little clones to train for samurai slaying, so she got seven clones.

If kids happened the normal way somehow, there may be more of an even mix of both parents. If the child was wanted then what they form as should reflect that; they would be a physical embodiment of the parent bond. If the child was NOT wanted it may look more like Aku than anything, since being unwanted is how you get Akulike things.

I usually go with a color scheme and assortment first. For the seven daughters, before they were original OCs, I went, "here are the possible hair colors, here are possible skin colors, here are possible personalities" and sort of mixed and matched those things. So one character has orange hair and red eyes, one has white hair and pink eyes, half have green skin, two have demon white and two have human skin, etc. I also used the seven sins theme to figure out general vibes/personalities.

Aku seems to spawn litters, since he's a dog. I think in the future I would do threes, following the PPG principle. I actually did design Akuppg kids, so I'll use that as an example.

The concept was that one girl has three puffs each that follow the "long hair with a crown, innocent with pigtails, sharp hair with a dark side" formula. Possible hair colors Black, White, Blonde, Red, Orange. Possible eye colors Pink, Blue, Green, Red. Possible skin colors White, Green, Peach, Black. Horns, Fangs, and Claws are fun additions that remind us of Daddy Aku.
