I am thinking of replacing Umbra and Amara with new characters. However, I am at a loss of whom they should be....


Ideas?
my best advice is to think about what sort of "roles" you fancy playing. Do you want to play a wild child, a girly girl, a jock guy? a monster with an angsty past? What niche do you want to fill? what stories do you fancy exploring?
When I'm feeling low on inspiration, I sometimes turn to random generators to spark some ideas. There's a bunch of them out there, but here's one for reference:

Same here!! I like this one! I often generate multiple ones and blend them until I have something I like.

Oh neat, those are some nifty character creation tools!

Wow... forgot this post existed... sorry guys.

2 ideas from my head that were used to shape Adelia into what she is now:

1: Watcher Angel charged with taking care of and guarding a museum that is actually a prison for demons. This prison is intended to keep the demons out of hell with the intention of giving them a chance to redeem themselves. Her companion is a demon on probation as part of his redemption. Watcher angels would be a part of a stories/drawings/comics/possible animations called "Black and Gold." They would be able to be in the same rps as Adelia.

2: A human lives in a museum that is mostly a dump spot for items other museums don't want. The small town keeps it open as a museum, even though it should have been abandoned. Her companion would be a small demon/fire pixie cross whom was trapped in an artifact, well... until it got broke by some rowdy teens. She finds that 90% of the artifacts have some sort of spirit in them. This was the original plan for Adelia before she was turned into the angel of death.

Yes... the two are similar, but I promise, they will be different in a profile sense.

Which one do you want to see? Or just make them both?

As for the generators, I will give them a go! Thanks!
Honestly both ideas sound interesting to me!
This one time I wrote a poem about a psychotic baker and it was pretty decent, and I thought about how interesting a character that would be, like just the sweetest most honest person making treats except they like to murder people or force them to bake with them because... Insanity?

That sounds like Pinkamenia.
