oops 11 days late.

wow a year holy shit

[thedevilscontrol]

if my characters are animal-like, then they're Kemonomimis.

(the concept of depicting human and human-like characters with animal ears, and by extension, other features such as tails.)

edit: actually no? Well kinda, some would be and some would be more "animal-like" (furries) lmao.

For example my character Beckett is a goat so he has the horns and tail but I think he would also have the legs like one. Unless that counts as Kemonomimi...

A very detailed character biography to help build characters. I found the original template HERE and edited it to make it more suitable for the characters I'm creating, and also to add some more details, such as a mental illness checklist section to use for myself to reference (because it helps to know what's wrong with your characters) and other details. You may not need so many minor details for a character, but you never know if you'll end up needing an explanation for something. I'll be using this template myself so I figured I'd share it in case it could help others too. I have edited it to better suit my own medieval fantasy characters, so I'm not sure how well it will work with other genres. Enjoy. ♡
